YOu cannot bring her to the US and you cannot sponsor her. However, there may be other options open to her, based on her education and/or work experience. She can try to go back to school and get a student visa, if she already has at least a bachelor's degree, she can try to get a job offer and then a work visa on the basis of that job offer.
