Hi,

I am a Canadian entry-level clothing designer, i'm 23 years old (I don't know if that makes a difference) who wants to move to New York in search of better employment. I have searched everywhere for information on how to obtain a Visa, went to the U.S. embassy and everything and have not been able to get a proper answer. I am not too sure what Visa I would need to apply for or what the process would be to obtain it. If anyone has any information about this it would be very helpful.

Thank you

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Pretty much the only one I can see qualifying is the O visa. Though being entry level, I can't see how you could demonstrate an exceptional ability skill at this point to qualify for an O visa...

You may have to work in Canada and establish yourself and brand and when you get noticed that way down the road, then possibly the O visa may be an option...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...
