I'm a legitmate non-Jew working in Israel. But I had to marry an Israeli to achieve this status... (Or rather, I married an Israeli and find myself in Israel, so this is where I have to work...)
The only legitimate non-Jews that I know of that do not fall into the same catogory as me are Thai agricultural workers and Romanian building workers.

How is this possible? There are "legitimate" non-Jews workers in Israel, I'm pretty sure of that. And most of them don't have an M.Sc. in mathematics. So, I believe there is a possibility, albeit possibly small that he can receive a visa.
