Moving THEN finding work?

[aaron2020 11,651]

thanks guys

I will be visiting so i will be looking for jobs. and i cant prove to the employer i have the skills.

Although i dont have a degree or qualification i heard there was a thing for unskilled workers

There is no thing for unskilled workers.

The US government will not let in unskilled foreign workers like you to take jobs away from unemployed US residents. It would be incredibly stupid to let in unskilled workers to take jobs away from your own citizens and residents.

Seems that nothing will persuade you about the reality of your situation. You don't have the necessary college degree to obtain a work visa.

Come to the US to visit. Unfortunately, you'll end up going home without a job.

and in reference to "There is no thing for unskilled workers."

While technically you may qualify for EB-3, the issue will be having a long wait, according to the April 2012 Visa Bulletin, this category is not current, they are processing people who have lodged applications back in April 2006. Unfortunately, the US does not have some of the "working holiday" visas that are available elsewhere.

Best

I went to US Embassy and got a 6 month visa I got it as I wanted to see if my girlfriend at the time could live together I got te visa and it worked so now we are married and have confirmation of Green card being produced don't know what your answers will be when you have the interview to spend 6 months in US wouldn't put down coming to look for job but you can get visa for 3 months holiday but must have return flight and electronic visa

Unskilled visa you are looking for is like for ppl working on farms, picking fruits tending animals etc.

There is no visa for someone in between who is not going to work on farms and would wanting to work in semi IT kinda jobs.

There are plenty of Americans who like to tinker with hardware and are good at troubleshooting the hardware problems and there are plenty of such jobs available with electronic store or some companies IT department but none would be willing to sponsor a work visa.

I understand your need of coming here. However, we are not trying to discourage you, but just trying to tell you the reality at the moment and direct you in the right path on US employment. You are actually in the right route now by researching and seeking advice here in the forum

First, coming here either on a VWP or B2 visa for the purpose of looking and possible work are not allowed under this process. It's called immigrant intent and possible visa FRAUD. Also coming here while you are presently unemployed is kinda hard to justify on getting a B2 visa. You can only come in here for purpose of work employment under two categories....... a non immigrant work visa which others have already mentioned or apply for an immigrant employment visa like the EB-3 which you have mentioned above. The non immigrant visa which was mentioned by harsh and others, like different H visa as was pointed out are not possible or very slim chance in your case.

The Eb-3 immigrant visa is possible as mentioned by jjbandero. However, first, finding an employer to hire you is extremely difficult as already explained to you by aaron due to a still anemic economy, besides the potential employer will not spend money on a foreign worker to bring here just to do work that is commonly done by other unemployed Americans or other US legal residence. Second, even if you are hired by a US employer. It will take several years before your petition is approved and the employer have to be willing to wait for you and hold the said position. Do not see a lot of employer who are willing to wait that long. Third, you cannot just change status under the EB-3 immigrant category even if you can get here under the VWP or B-2 visa, especially on your work qualifications. Remember, EB-3 is an immigrant status category. You cannot just AOS into immigrant employment status from a B2 or VWP.

I'm sorry to say, there is no fast way of coming to the US under your propose working process. Your best chances is to either continue some more studies and possibly getting a degree or do some more training and work experiences in your specialized field. Maybe, also study other specialized field that are much needed in the US. You have to be patient and prepare yourself more in order to qualify for a work employment here in the US.
