Realistically, it probably would be your best bet to come over as a student and then once you're here if you are aggressively working hard on the side to build a network and show value in various contexts, you'll be more likely to be able to parley that into a working opportunity.
Let's be realistic, New York City is a city of opportunity where everything imaginable is happening all of the time. But getting work sponsorship from afar except for a very exclusive pool of ultra high-demand folks can be quite difficult.
A piece of advice: to a native English reader, your written English is dropping articles like "a", "an" and "the"-- I can only imagine how frustratingly arbitrary it must seem but these immediately make your written word appear less ready to go. You don't want to be put in that box and rejected from consideration out of the gate. Something to look out for.
Another angle folks will take is to get a job for a US or particularly New York city-based company in Europe, be a go-getter impressing folks to the extent that they'll be willing to give you what you want to keep you then you can make the move.
- the-dude 8y agoAre you allowed to work as a student?
- iansowinski 8y agoFrom what I have read there are some rules on working time
- the-dude 8y agoI have heard otherwise, and this seems to corroborate it : https://www.hccmis.com/blog/study-abroad/4-ways-to-work-in-the-us-with-a-student-visa/ https://www.hccmis.com/blog/study-abroad/4-ways-to-work-in-t... Very limited.

- phakding 8y agoAs a student on F-1 visa, there are multiple ways one can work. On campus of the university that they are enrolled into in any job. The hours must not collide with the enrolled classes. As an unpaid intern (volunteer). Or as a co-op for two semesters at the most, as full time and get paid.
- mcny 8y agoI'm more frustrated by my own inability to tell the "rules" of English. I can tell something "sounds odd" but I don't know enough grammar rules to know what is "correct" grammar and what isn't. For example, saying "Google are deciding to go back to China PR" sounds completely incorrect to me. It ought to be Google IS, imo but clearly enough people do this.
- sborra 8y agoI think it's the standard in British English to treat organizations as a plural noun.
- gt_ 8y agoIt’s not. An exception could be when the organization is referenced by a pronoun like “they”, but “they” can be used in singular or plural contexts, so it’s not exactly an exception.
- piker 8y ago"Google IS deciding to go back to China PR" is correct in American English. The entity is singular.
- justwalt 8y agoI was taught that because Google is made up of many people, it should be treated as plural. It’s probably subjective.
- jpindar 8y agoIt's a US vs UK thing. In the US, a group or organization IS <something>, in the UK, they ARE <something>. This was particularly noticeable during the World Cup coverage.
- paulgb 8y agoIt's a UK/US thing; in the UK your understanding is correct (I like it better stylistically too, but I use "singular companies" to fit in in the US)
- tbirrell 8y agoIf someone has a reasonable grasp of English (Like OP appears to have). I would highly recommend Grammarly[0]. It should be able to compensate for those "frustratingly arbitrary" facets of our language. [0]: https://www.grammarly.com/
- loco5niner 8y agoWoah, as a native English speaker, that's cool. (Just for fun, I put a few errors in and it caught them, including these one ;-)
