How can I get the right to work for a company after a G5 visa

Asked on Apr 02nd, 2013 on Immigration - Virginia
More details to this question:
Hi, I'm currently living USA with a G5 visa as a nanny and, in the same time, I'm studying for my bachelor online in an university of my home country. A company in USA is interested in my resumé and asked me for an interview for a job position. But would I have any chance to get a work visa? I know that this company has to sponsorize me, but I will only have my bachelor next year. Is there an other way to work for this company? Can my G5 statut help me? Thank you very much

You won't be able to work for the company right now.  Also, to qualify for a work visa (an H1B visa), the position the company wants to hire you for must require the degree you are currently seeking.  H1B visas are numerically limited each year, so you wouldn't be able to apply until the April after you have obtained your degree (April 1st is when the numbers become available for the year).
