If you ar not US citizen or resident, you must be high skilled and find a company willing to sponsor you...

Goran Popovski

Is there any list of companies which we can find who make sponsorship for US? Because the most of the companies does not make sponsorship and to send them CV`s it will be just weasting your time. No one is gonna answer you.

stumpy

As far as I am aware, there is no such list.


Perseverance is the best thing and keep on sending out your CV.

@usmc_mv Thank you, for this usefull information!

What about if you have optional stay in the States with friends/family and you only need a Visa, as in permit to work in the States and off course the job. Is that something you can mention on an e-mail or cover letter?


Because I'm already working on this for a while to go abroad and live in the States, but so far no succes.


Kind regards,

Eveline Van Bogaert

To know people who live in USA doesn't count for the work visa. You must absolutely find a sponsor company to be able work. And to get one, comes the problem of skills and graduates eligibles...

That really a nice information.

Wow thats really a helpfull information.

You can't work during your studies only in the Campus for 15h per week. But there are few jobs offered. They are quickly taken...

Hello,


It depends your qualifications. If you have a Master degree, you can apply for a position in Europe or USA, knowing in Europe, some countries ask local language knowledge moreover or without English and Central and Eastern countries are not suitable for an African.


If you don't have a Master degree, but at least a secondary school graduate and professional experience (or a professional education), you can try immigration processus for Canada.

olayidetemitopeisaac

@STEFFIFI yes I have secondary certificate

STEFFIFI

And in which branch? Do you have job experience?

olayidetemitopeisaac

Yes I have job experience of draughtsmen 11years

STEFFIFI

These jobs are not eligible for the working visa... Try Canada for carpenter job.

Hello,


I’m canadian, working in accounting professional. Start get sick with cold and want to looking a job to move to TX. I have my sister living in TX who filled F4 for me 8 years ago. Any advice on how yo get job and move there ?

Diemie13

Hello,


I am from Belgium and my employer (an international company that already has an office in Houston) has asked me to move to Houston to work there. They would send me on a L-1(B) visa.


My girlfriend would move with me. Am I right that she would be getting the L-2 visa and she could work in the US then? Would the search for a job be easier for her then, because she would already be in the US and she would not have to go through the process of sponsorship, etc?


Lookinf forward to your advice.

Regards,

Dimi

You must be married for she can follow you with a L2. If not, she must have a sponsorship and it is very hard because she has to have a Master, find a company in Houston or surroundings and be drawn by the H1B (work visa out of posted worker, what you are or entrepreneur visa) lottery...

Diemie13

Hi Steffifi,


Yes, we will get married in the next months, before we move to Houston :-)


I was just wondering whether it would be easier for her to find a job, since she does not have to go through the sponsorship etc. She has a master (and post-graduate) in multilingual communication and Human Resources.


Thanks.

Diemie

STEFFIFI

Master is ok for sponsorship but her Human Resources education is according Belgian legislation... So, it is different in USA... International Communication is ok but firstly, she must find an employer in Houston or surroundings and the H1B visa (it is the "classic work visa" without transfer) is obtained, after to find an employer during a draw in April-May (only 5000). But she can apply for an intern visa J1 (not need to be student) for 18 months max. So, it let you the time to marry ;) But it will be an intern salary...

ijones4

Thank you for the information regarding sponsorship and visas. I understand that Master's education in Human Resources is according to Belgian legislation, which may be different in the USA. However, I am willing to explore options for obtaining an H1B visa to work in Houston or its surroundings. I am also open to the possibility of applying for a J1 intern visa for up to 18 months, which could give me more time to find a suitable employer and potentially even consider marriage. I appreciate your guidance on these matters.
