Scope of an international lawyer in Massachusetts

My wife has a bachelors degree in law from outside of USA. She's planning on coming here and doing LLM from Boston maybe with a specialization in Intellectual property or health law or immigration law. Is this a good move ? How are the job prospects for an international with LLM degree in Boston ? Please help. Thanks

They're not good. My sister did one at a top (rank 3) school and couldn't find a job, and neither could her friends from Harvard. Employers are looking for JDs.

Agree. Even JDs are so common now that you have licensed attorneys with JDs working as Paralegals.
