http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Pulask...ork_in_the_USA If you want to move based on a work visa, you will need to find a US employer to hire you and sponsor an H1B visa. The employer can apply on April 1, 2013, for a start date of October 2013. The quota for 2012 is filled already. You could come to the USA and do a higher degree, that would be the F-1 visa. You could get a job with an engineering company which has offices in the USA, and then after some time with the company, put in for a transfer to the USA. That would be an L-1 visa. If you find some possibilities, come on back and we can help you sort through it. Rene |

Re: Move to USA
Hello thank you all for the replies I have read the links you have provided an like I said I have a degree in engineering, I currently live in London and got a job interview with apple next week. However I am wondering how much would it be to study in the US for a masters degree? Also can I be classed as a skilled worker with a bachelors degree in engineering or not?

Re: Move to USA
Well thanks for that I've just had a quick look and found that a masters degree in the US is the lowest $35.000 unless you have a scholarship, I'm just wondering would it be easier to work for a company that has offices in the US because I am quite broke at the moment however would I qualify for a HB-1 visa?

... would I qualify for a HB-1 visa? I'm not trying to put you off your dream, but this is the current reality in the US. It's certainly not impossible... but it will be a serious uphill climb. Ian |

Yes - probably much easier than any other method (except perhaps marrying a US citizen).
Yes, but that's only 1/3 of the story. The job itself must also require a Bachelor's degree... and, the employer would need to be sufficiently impressed with your qualifications to want to shell out many $1000s to sponsor you for the visa. Consider that you'd be up against hundreds (if not thousands) of USC and PR engineers who are already out of work, and can start work tomorrow if asked... and no visa sponsorship required. I'm not trying to put you off your dream, but this is the current reality in the US. It's certainly not impossible... but it will be a serious uphill climb. Ian Ikram |
Re: Move to USA
If you've just graduated, you could look to doing a J1 internship.
With no experience, you're realistically got zero chance of a H1B and same again for a company transfer and the L1 route, but that's not to say you won't be able to get there after a few years experience. |

If he's even being looked at by Apple for an interview then he must be interesting to them. If they choose to sponsor him for an H1B then his recent graduation will have no impact on him getting an H1B. It's the sponsorship that counts, after all. |

Can you please explain to me about how I would come about getting a internship?

Why does he have "zero chance of a H1B"?

A job for Apple in the UK is one thing, but a job that requires sponsorship? Like I said, without any experience, realistically the chances are nil.

Well I knew it would be hard for me to move to the US but if my interview with apple is a success, after a few years working with them would I be able to ask them to move me to the US or not?
