The most common way is to come to the US to study first, say for a Master's degree, and then look for a job while still in the US, before graduation.
Other than that, you have to look for a company that would hire you from overseas and sponsor an H-1B visa. The company has to prove that it couldn't find any qualified Americans to do the job.
This might be difficult, especially if a face-to-face interview is required, which it is in most cases. Then, to come for a face-to-face interview to the US, you legally must not have an intention to stay and work in the US, since you're coming as a "visitor/tourist". It's a Catch-22 situation.
- kgtm 16y agoThe company has to prove that it couldn't find any qualified Americans to do the job. Can you please link to an official document that states this? Because i thought the only relevant clause was not paying the Visa holder less than what an American would get. In other words, the Visa sponsor must pay market rates. Edits: Sorry, bad connection.
- turar 16y agoSorry, I gave wrong information. For H-1B, the company doesn't have to prove this. I confused it with an employer-sponsored green-card application process.
