To receive an immigrant visa through employment, the wife would need to be sponsored by an employer. She cannot self-petition for an immigrant visa to the United States. The wife should start looking for employers willing to sponsor her for either a nonimmigrant or immigrant visa. To be eligible to work as a nurse, the wife will need to be licensed in the United States. She should look into licensing requirements in the state where they would like to live.
