But she is not an American right!

Try Europe I don't think your going to have any luck in the US somehow.

If you fit into any of these categories you may have a chance...if not you'll have to set your sights somewhere else.

If you don't have a degree, married to a yank, work for a place generally fairly senior or with niche skills that have offices in the US, the chances are slim to none.

You don't say where you were born, so there may or may not be the visa lottery.

Your best bet, move to another part of the country, or somewhere in the EU where you don't have to worry about a visa, or try Canada/Oz/NZ/SA etc as they have a points system.
