No

I'm looking for job in USA

The point is that as of now, with no current job offer or path for you to be in the US, you will likely not have a US job in the immediate future. So the best option would be to have a job in your home country to both hold you over and help build your experience until you can find a US employer to sponsor you. 

 

The work visa is not immediate. So even if you found an employer to sponsor you today, it will be a while (likely 2020) until you can come to the US and work.

It's even hard to get immediate work in America as a skilled worker. We're not trying to deflate your dreams, but you need to do more research, OP.

I agree. I tried looking for a job for over 2 years in the states and although business wanted to hire me they weren't willing to go through the visa process. 

You have a long road ahead and I wish you the best of luck, but you need to do your research and look for other avenues and work in Egypt so you can sustain yourself

How about you asking them if they can transfer you to the US? That may be your best bet. 

I already asked them

That's why I'm in big (removed)

I really don't know how you expected this post to end up.....every member pretty much explained the facts: you CANNOT just wake up one morning and decide that you want to work on American soil.

You are not in America and seem to be somewhere in the Middle East at this time. You have no type of visa that would allow you entry to the US right now and you can check as many job sites as you'd like but ALL of them will ask the same question:

ARE YOU AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN THE UNITED STATES?

 

What will be your answer to that question on the job application? :pop:

anyone speaking multiple languages can search for jobs on the cruise ships (online just use google )

they have 5, 6 and 7 months contracts

you do have to work 7 days a week while working a contract

then you will have several months off while waiting for your next bid (contract)

this is not living in the US but ports in the US

the companies fly employees to the port and back to their country when contracts are finished

the cruise ships out of Florida employ many foreigners as i said because many speak and write several languages

Oh boy, you'd be surprised how conservative USA can be.

I think you're the kind of person who has this idea of USA that you have seen on the movies and tv shows and you think life there is perfect.

I mean I do agree with you, but I do believe there's a big difference in between Egypt and the US. 

The US can be very conservative, but nothing compared to Egypt.
