Trying to work in Nevada
I am about to undertake a massage course in Utah for seven months. When i pass this, what is the quickest way for me to get employment in the U.S.
I own a house in Nevada and have a mortgage but it is only as an overseas investor, so i want to live there and work in Nevada legally but don't mind flying in and out if i have to.
Any advice?
Thanks
Faye

Buy a business
marry an American.
other than that, you're SOL basically.

Re: Trying to work in Nevada
First thing that springs to mind is how are you managing to stay in the US for 7 months?

I am doing that by proving that i can support myself for that period and paying 12000 for the course. What are you, a policeman!!!

Wouldn't want you to lose your 12K now.
edit: also, different visas offer different futures, which IS specifically what you are asking about. Right?

Re: Trying to work in Nevada
No, but as mentioned you need a visa which is a reasonably long process. I'm not sure what it takes but there are a lot of hoops you and the school have to jump through. Not sure if the school has to be a certain type in order to get a visa either. Proving you can support yourself and paying 12,000 for the course means nothing unless you have a visa.

Worth looking at requirements to be certifide in the state your interested in if that's a requirement...and if you've a greencard, then apply for jobs, if not, you'll be hard pressed for anyone to sponsor you for a work based visa.

Yes, i know all that, got the visa, got the course. Thats why i'm asking about the work after the course has finished.

Re: Trying to work in Nevada
The only thing that comes to mins is an F1
Which could lead to OPT?
But the OP has yet to mention any basis for living/staying here longer.
A US Spouse would be the obvious one. Others, well that all depends.
