Would Like to Live in Cailfornia, USA

Hi Sharon

I am 21 years old and I live in Scotland. I work as apprentice machine operator for an oil company. I have one more year left as an apprentice.

I have been going to San Diego since I was little to see family’s friends but since I have grown up more I think I would like to live and work there and what I am trying to ask is what do I need to do to make this happen and what do I need to get?

Thanks Ross

Dear Ross

Thanks for your inquiry (please note that I am not an immigration officer).

You can apply for a H1B work visa which is the primary US work visa / permit made available to people from all over the world.

One of the main advantages of the H1B visa is that it is a 'dual intent' visa which means that you can apply for a Green Card (Legal Permanent Residency).

The Process to obtain an H1B Visa::

Step 1 - you must first find an H1B Sponsorship Job with a US Sponsoring Company (employer)

Step 2 - your H1B employer files your H1B Visa Application with the US Immigration Bureau

Individuals can NOT sponsor or apply for their own H1B visa. Only US Employers can.

Click the following link for more information about the H1B Visa Jobs & Sponsorship, for an entry to a database of available H1B sponsorship jobs in the USA, and for a an online video and audio interview practice and preparation for the H1B USA visa

Best of Luck
Sharon
