I got a friend living currently in germany who wants to work and live in NYC. She wants me to help her find a job for her here in NYC. She prefers to live in germany until I can find a job for her here. I got 2 questions:
1) I got her resume. Should I put my number on the resume for potential employers to call me to explain that shes not in USA presently but will be soon? Or should I leave her german number on it?
2) Whats the best way to find NYC jobs that sponsor foreigners to work in USA??
No, because she does not have a visa that would allow her to work in the US. She can come as a tourist: citizens from Western Europe countries can come to the US without a visa, for tourism only. If you want to work, you need a specific visa.
Forgive me for asking, but approximately how old are you and your friend?

You mean the H1B visa. But what I've been told was she needs to be sponsored by a US company through that visa.
Shes in her upper 20s in age. My age isnt important though.
No job is going to give her a thought unless she is already living here in the states. It won't do any good to put your number on the resume. It will be very difficult for you or her to find a company willing to hire and sponsor her here. Mod cut.

Reason: Off-topic.
Your friend must have some skills that make her attractive to NYC employers above others who are local and don’t need H1B sponsorship. Most in this situation are local for interviewing or already work for a company’s site in another country and come in as transferees. If your friend truly has a unique skillset, she could be in communication with a company/companies that fit her niche and those communications will lead to their invitation to interview. She would then need to come as a tourist, do her interviewing, and get an offer, then either return to her home country or stay in the USA and come back on an H1B visa or convert to an H1B visa..

With so many people competing for jobs in NYC, she would need to have a very special skill set to compete.
