Moving To America?

Question

I'm currently living in Western Australia and would like to move to the US with permanent residency. Where do I go to apply?
I'd prefer to get in through employment so are there certain types of jobs that are accepted?
Can I do the types of jobs travellers do (au pair, camp counsellor) and then find something more permanent later?

So do I need to enter the country on a work visa then apply for residency?

Answer 1

The types of visas others have recommended do NOT lead to permanent residency - they are strictly non-immigrant visas.

Here is information on employment-based immigration:

Answer 2

I know that Epcot hires people from other countries on a work visa. Then once you get into the country, you would have to fill out all the papers.

Answer 3

Why would you want to move here i heard that in your country there are three Ladies to every man... ? It must be because it's the land of opportunity... better hurry before the government gives all the illegal Mexicans amnesty and all the jobs are gone!

Answer 4

Many tourist cities hire international workers, contact the Myrtle Beach S.C. chamber of commerce they can help you in Myrtle Beach.

Answer 5

As far as I know, you go to the U.S consulate and apply for a work visa. As far as jobs, look on Monster.com and apply for some. When you get a job, use it to put on the visa. We welcome good people in the U.S. so come on in!
