Australian seeking work VISA and procedure guidelines for the US

[Rhys.Lawson 0]

Hi All,

Just seeking advise in terms of working VISA classifications and the appropiate avenue to take. I am a 23yo Australian citizen who has 10 months of an Import/Export Supply Chain traineeship to complete. I am looking to use my qualification in order to broaden my knowledge of the industry to an international standard and potentially work long term in the States depending on the circumstances. I am new to all this and I do appreciate any help which can be giving.

Thank you.

Rhys

I think your best bet is to work for a multinational company in Australia and then organize a transfer to their US office when you're valuable enough. That comes under the L1 visa, L1_A for managers, L1-B for technical experts.

Alternatively, if you have a Bachelor's degree and can find a US company to sponsor you, you can get an E3, which is a 2 year non-immigrant visa, renewable indefinitely. AS this is expensive, I'm not sure that this is going to be easy given that you are young and still undergoing a traineeship. The more you develop your career, the more chances you have of being either transferred or offered a job in the US.

Another vote for a transfer.
