Question

I have the possibility of sponsorship to work in Florida, but want to do this with my other half (who is not a skilled professional and doesnt have any sponsorship), is it possible for her to come with me and work in Florida on my visa or would she need her own visa?

What is the very first thing we should do (in terms of forms etc)?

Who can we speak to about best thing to do?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Each person must have their own visa. And each person must get their work visa on their own merits. Her visa will have nothing to do with yours. If she has no skills though, I don't see how she could possibly get a work visa.

The coverage can be a huge deal in the States. in case you get coverage by your organization the corporation that includes the coverage can variety the pre-contemporary situations clause, they're oftentimes coated in the present day, after a waiting era of oftentimes a year, or be waived in case you may practice you had coverage earlier taking the area, relies upon on the coverage, yet you may nevertheless be insured for each thing else, in spite of the undeniable fact that that's no longer loose, there are often co-will pay, any the position from $10 - $50 to visit a doctor, it may be truly complicated and actually diverse from what you're use to. retaining all that there are tremendous possibilities in the U. S., and broadening your horizons is continually a sturdy issue. Conn isn't low-cost, in spite of the undeniable fact that there are parts that are a lot less expensive. living in vast apple State or Rhode Island and commuting in may nicely be an decision for you.

I envy you and recommend that you don't pass this opportunity up!
I recently worked for my company for 11 months in Pittsburgh but am not sure if your sponsorship offer is the same thing. My company paid for a specialist company to take care of all the legal matters but I still had to do a lot of work myself. I ended up with an L1 visa and my wife and children all got L2 visas. My wife could work using her L2 after she got permission to work which took 90 days after arriving in the US. My children attended school there and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I would approach the company who has offered to sponsor you and get them to seek professional assistance. 2 things you need to know - get everything sorted well in advance of your trip, it took 3 months from the start of the proceeding to actually getting our visas, you will have to visit the US Embassy in London and leave your passports with them for the visa to be added. Secondly, as soon as possible after arriving in the US, apply for a social security card, you don't exist in the eyes of the utility and credit card companies without one.
Oh and thirdly, mentioning credit cards, try and get an American Express card whilst you are over here otherwise you will have to wait while you build up a credit history before you can get one.
Good luck!

Check out the US embassy website, it is very helpful regarding visas. I wish England were as good at protecting our borders as the US.

She needs her own visa if she wants to work. However, if she just wants to chill, she goes as your spouse. Most spouses end up working illegally :)
