PreRequisites to work in th US

[joseantonio 0]

I'd legally entered the US, suddenly starting to get professionals opportunities to work as IT Engineer. I currently have my US social security since I'd obtain in the past my college degree in the US. My question is: If I've interest in this opportunities can I applied? If so, what type of employment can this be. Thank you.

Has any one had this experience or knowledge?

Depends on what visa you entered with. Do you have a green card or current EAD?

I was wondering the same.

Legally entered with what visa ? Legal entry on tourist visa (my assumption) has zero connection with being able to work. Fact you have SSN number is irrelevant as well. You can always apply for whatever you want, but if you are not legally able to work in US and your employer is not willing to sponsor you, than applying will be nothing more than waste of time.

With B2 visa. No green card nor EAD.

B2.

You can apply for jobs.

You would need an Employer who would be willing to sponsor you at not insignificant cost and go through a length process.

B2.

Then see above. Fact that you entered and have SSN has absolutely no meaning. You are in the same position as millions of people out there that want to come to US to work but have no legal right to do so.

Thank You All.

Hi,

As a visitor visa holder, you can apply for jobs but you can not work.

To legally work, the US employer would need to obtain a work visa for you. This will take many months or more than a year.

I applied a job when I am on f1. A big giant automotive company refused to file work authorization for me. Instead asking me to file opt through school.

You are lucky if they help sponsoring you.
