I still think that for 95% of those who want to move to the US, the only ways are marriage, sposoring, transfer within a company and winning the green card lottery. Everything else are very specialized visas and if that applies, the person would know it already. :-) | |

| May 25, 2016 at 7:35 | comment | added | Patricia Shanahan | The marriage case should be a bit broader. For example, the spouse of an H-1B can apply for an H-4 visa. | |
