HK Visa help

Dilemma

US aviator working temporarily in HKG (1 year), no HKG ID due companys' unwillingness (taxes??) to sponsor (perhaps not correct verbage). Girlfriend holding passport that allows for only 14 day stay. Border Immigration often very inconsiderate, if not abusive.

Tried enrolling in British Council English course as she wants/needs to improve English, but find she needs a sponsor for visa and I am unable due no HKG ID. The lady at Immigration was just lovely, but unable to assist.

Does anyone have any ideas or information that may help her obtain longer visa? I know there is a language school that can help (they sponsor), but at 5,000 HK per month, seems quite steep.

Any helpful suggestions would be/are greatly appreciated.
