Question about friend coming from Hong Kong and wanting to work in the USA


Question about friend coming from Hong Kong and wanting to work in the USA?
My friend lives in Hong Kong and she ios coming this summer to Pittsburgh to work on her Ph.d. She has no problem with a visa because shes been accepted at the university but she is wondering about her fiancee. She thinks he would not be allowed to work in the USA because theyre not married and wants him to work but legally. I know absolutlely nothing about visas from Hong Kong to the USA. Is there a way for her fiancee to work legally in the USA like a temp visa or something he needs Thanks

Not enough jobs for Americans tell him he is not wanted and should stay home.

Millions of Americans are out of work.............STAY HOME!

Exactly what type of visa does her fiance plan on using to come to the USA? Since they are not married nothing she does, like getting an F-1 Student Visa, will have any impact on him and his ability to set foot on American soil. He has virtually no chance of even being allowed to come to the USA for more than 6 months, much less get a job.

The only way he could get a visa with permission to work would be if he has skills and a US employer to sponsor him for a H1B visa. The engagement would have no impact. Legal permanent residents are allowed to sponsor a spouse or child, but students are in a non-immigrant category and cannot sponsor anyone to the US.
