    How Can a H1B Visa Holder Get U.S. Residency for His Girlfriend
    One of my friends was on H1B and he wants to marry his girl friend from china. What is the quickiest way for her to receive residency? Should he get married now and apply so they can receive the greencard at the same time ? How long is the wait for greencard holder to bring his/ her spouse oversea?

    An H1B holder cannot sponsor somebody for a Green Card. If he marries, he can seek to bring his spouse into the U.S. on a H2 visa. There is no fiancée visa for a H1B holder.

    If and when he qualifies for permanent residency, if he is married at that time he can seek to have her obtain permanent residency as a member of his immediate family -- but he's not yet married, and you've given no indication that he's presently eligible to seek permanent residency himself, so that's not a present option.

    be very careful bringing someone here from China. You might be in-debt to the whole family for the rest of your life.:suspicion:
