Hi everyone,
I am a US citizen who has a friend from Kyrgyzstan currently working in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Does anyone have any information on how I may be able to sponsor her so that she can live and work in the US? She has a degree as a fashion designer. I have no idea how to even start this process.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

She's your friend? You can't sponsor her I don't. She could either a) sign up for and win the visa lottery, b) immigrate through a spouse or other immediate family member or c) pursue an employment visa. They last is very complicated... and not the specialty of this site. But, USC can't "sponsor" friends... wouldn't that be nice!

Thanks. That is a shame. How would she go about signing up for the visa lottery?

It looks like Kyrgyzstan is not on the ineligible list.
