I have six years experience in the advertising industry, would i be able to find work, if i first enter on a travel visa? I am interested in Web 2.0 companies and wonder if it is a good idea or bad, to look for work while on a travel visa?
Any advice?

You would be able to find one - but they won't hire you with a tourist visa. Get yourself a work visa, then you don't have to worry about la migra.

It is possible. If you have an awesome portfolio, this would be a good time to make some contacts and meet some people and show them your work. Any company that hired you would have to sponsor you for a work visa. I think the tourist visa would be a great time to meet some people face-to-face.

Ive got something better for you. Online Travel Agent. Own your own online travel agency and just tell people about your site. Its the best site out there. You can do everything from send flowers, to booking a vacation all around europe, tickets to any show or event even sporting events. The best thing is you dont do anything but tell people where to go online. If you decide to sell online travel sites...it can turn a very big profit. The best thing...you are a business owner!! Tax write offs on almost everything you do (including your vacations), huge discounts on travel 40-100%, all the support you need. You cant afford not to check this out!!!

Never a bad idea to look for work, just be aware that 1/2 the planet wants to live in San Francisco and the best and brightest are always fighting it out for the openings.
Try it, you might find out you qualify !

You can't work legally on a tourist visa, so anyone unscrupulous enough to employ you might also be unscrupulous not to pay you since you won't have any recourse. This happened to a friend of mine from Argentina. You'll be taking a big chance if you try and do this.

The Question is........
If I find work (after I get my work permit etc.) and like it...can I stay?
To find out go to: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm

Try clicking on "forms", and scroll down to I-485 and I-485A.
Good Luck

I would imagine you would have to have a working Visa, I know my hubby did when he worked there, but he was employed by a US firm and had the job b4 he went there.
