Getting my friend over here, any advice?
After living in Houston, TX for a year now, my friend and I have been talking seriously about the possibility of her coming over to live & work for maybe 6 months to a year. Does anybody know of any good programs or schemes that would provide such an opportunity?
She isn't the most qualified person in the world, so would hardly be sought out for a H1-B, etc. I'm just thinking along the lines of a temporary coaching program, volunteer work in Houston, etc.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!!
