Resident of the USA wants to bring Girlfriend from Philippines permanently, how to do it?

As a lawful permanent resident, you are able to petition for a spouse. If you married your girlfriend, then you could petition for her. The waiting time for that type of visa would be about 4 years from the date that the I-130 petition is received.

If you became a U.S. citizen after submitting the I-130, the classification of the beneficiary could be changed to spouse of a U.S. citizen, and the waiting time would be much shorter.

You could wait until you're a U.S. citizen and then petition for her, and she would receive her visa in less than a year.

There are no girlfriend visas for U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. U.S. citizens can take advantage of the K-1 fiance visa procedures.

Those are your choices for bringing her here permanently. If she is a nurse, a health care facility could petition for her. There is a shortage of nurses in the U.S. Nurses may easily be eligible for immigrant visa numbers under the EB third preference, and those with advanced degrees are eligible under the EB second preference. Nurses are also eligible for National Interest Waivers, though these are typically easier to attain if the nurse is serving a designated underserved area.

Go to the Philippines and marry her. Come back and petition for her.
