If you want a work visa,you will need to find a US employer to sponsor you. That isn't going to happen unless you are highly educated and highly skilled in a profession that is needed in the US.
2 :
In order for you to come to the United States lawfully as a nonimmigrant to work temporarily in the United States your prospective employer must generally file a nonimmigrant petition on your behalf with USCIS -http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=13ad2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=13ad2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD Only a few nonimmigrant classifications allow you to obtain permission work in this country without an employer having first filed a petition on your behalf. Such classifications include the nonimmigrant E-1, E-2, E-3 (from the same link above) Check this link out too: http://jakarta.usembassy.gov/niv_tempworker.html Hope this helps!

Pick a visa There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US: (1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas) (3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas) (4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship. (5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas) (6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas) (7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years? (8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation (9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you. The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) .. But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©

I think it doesnt matter really where to take it, just inform yourself before if it is a good course. The cheaper option for you would be Australia or New Zealand (New Zealand has better english courses in general). I made an intensive course in Dublin, Ireland, but Im from Spain, and through a scholarship, so i had to pay very little. You could see if there is something similar there.

Check each college's website to see if they offer scholarships for international students. Most private universities do offer scholarships for students coming from overseas, but they are difficult to win unless you have outstanding grades and test scores. Two good additional sources are: http://foreign.fulbrightonline.org/think... http://educationusa.state.gov/home/finan...

Its night here, 11:20 pm. The stars are out so I know there are no clouds in the sky. The temperature is about 58F/15C. It is dry and not humid and we expect clear skies and dry weather for another week. In the State of Rhode Island USA.

The most Easterly point in North America covers Land mass know as the "Rock" which is technically the 10th province to join confederation with Canada in 1949. We are well know for living in harsh conditions in a unpredictable climate to take advantage of the great fishing grounds. The weather here is generally non-threathing (no tornados, hurricane, earthquakes or floods) as long as you know what to expect in any given season. Our winter's are long and harsh with up to 30 feet of snow is many areas and we also have drastic weather changes all year round. This gives rise to the "Newfie" saying "If you don't like the weather in the front yard, look out out the back door". It is not unusual to see snow, rain, sun and fog in any given day in this region. But don't let all that discourage you from dropping by. Aye Bye!
