Ok, so this question is about American work visas, but I didn't know where else to ask, so here goes nothing. Smile

Yup, was in Japan last year, met a girl, she wants to come here to do an internship in the hotel business or something along those lines for a year or so. She already has her degree. How possible is it for her to get a nonimmigrant work visa to come to the United States?

BTW, she is a Japanese national, and I don't think I could hack living in Japan another year.

Hmmm... Is she relatively young? The reason for my asking is that I recall seeing several years ago an internship in New York for young women (under 26 I think). I think it may have been a secretarial type internship though. My point is that the organizers arranged everything (accommodation, visa etc). Might be an option.

Next suggestion is to call the consulate. Good luck!

It's not likely that she'll be able to get a work visa. Best bet is enrolling in a language school and getting a student visa.
