Hi can anyone help?

I am thinking of going over to the US for a while to perhaps look for work
and travel around.

My question is, If I go on a temp waiver for 90 days, and just stay, whats
the chances of getitng turfed out, As I am a British Citizen with a full uk
passport, will this help me ?

I am just going to sell up and go, is this a bad idea or would Europe be a
better alternative?

Just a few questions..

Thx

Bad Bad Bad idea, while on the VWP you are NOT permitted to work in the USA.

Alot of people get confussed with the working/traveling visa thing,
Basically you cannot do it here in the US...
You can do the work/travel visa all over Europe and Australia, but not in the US.

If you come over on a 90 day VW, you can't get a job, because you will not have a SS number, or a work permit, not to mention a permenant address or even a US driving licence.

You have to basically be married to a US citizen or have employment lined up already by an american company!

Try Oz, you can get a 12 month work visa, and do any work you like as long as you have a Aussie Tax number.

There are basically only six ways to get a working US immigration visa.

The ways to get a visa are:

(i) Marriage (or engagment in anticipation of marriage)
(ii) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. IT, scientific or medical training.
(iii) You have an employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (ii), above.
(iv)get a greencard in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland are not eligible)
(v) You own a business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no greencard)
(vi) You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US$1m in assets to bring with you.

What you are suggesting won't work, is illegal, and is likely to get you deported and banned from visiting the US any time soon.

There are a few other temporary categories. For example, there is J-1
summer work/travel, which allows a person who is a student abroad to work in
the U.S., and then travel around the U.S. a bit. There is also J-1 trainee.
These require arranged employment before applying for the visa, but the
employment does not have to be at such a high level. Do some google
searches; you will find agencies which sponsor people for this kind of visa;
some have job listings. Thousands of young people use these J-1 categories
each year.

Hi pulasik,
Could you tell me is J1 easier to get or H2B.
Thanks.

You need to start your own thread because your post has nothing to do with the original post.

Have you looked at the INS website about the eligibility criteria and application process for each of the visas you mention? Try that first before posting.

H-2B is a bigger pain in the neck, because a temporary labor certification
must be approved by the Department of Labor before the employer can file the
I-129 H-2B petition with INS. INS has to approved the petition before you
can get the status. A lot of effort and time is involved.

For J-1 trainee, you will have to make arrangements with a J-1 sponsoring
agency. The agency can determine that you are eligible for J-1 status, and
INS will usually go along with it.
