Working VISA for Fiance
Hi
I'm trying to understand if my Fiance can work in the US if I apply for an H-1B or L1 visa. Or do we need to be married to allow her to work on those?
Thanks

Re: Working VISA for Fiance
The only of the 4 permutations which will allow your fiance to work is for you get an L-1 visa _and_ get married.

If you get an L1, she can get an L2 which allows her to apply for work authorization in the USA.
If you get an H1B, she can get an H4 which does NOT allow her to work in the USA at all.
