She has to apply for one, take the test, and so on. Many people get one.

1. An employer can petition for a work visa. It will probably need to be a private company.
2. If they agree, they can sponsor her for an employer based green card.
You friend needs to consult an immigration lawyer since all cases are unique.

The blond poet is absolutely right. An immigrant visa is available, if she can find an employer who will petition for her. Here is the official information:

You have gotten two pieces of good advice. Good luck to your friend. Also, tell her that I have enjoyed my visits to her home country, Bulgaria.
