I believe in order to find a job... you must first obtain the documentation needed to "WORK" in this country... I would hope with all the hoopla on the undocumented residence these days... companies would require proper documentation BEFORE hiring anyone who is not a US citizen.

There are basically two options available to you.  The first is to obtain a non-immigrant work visa (H, L, O, P).  In order to obtain a work visa, a company must have hired you for a specific position with a contract for a specific length of time (and there are some requirements that the company has to fulfill in order to be able to petition for you, but let them worry about that).  After you obtain the visa, you come over here and start working.  The availability of these work visas depend greatly on your profession, level of education, and line of work. \n\nYour second option is a green card.  You can apply for the diversity visa or if you have relatives here in the US that are either green card holders or American citizens, they may be able to petition for you to get your green card.\n\nThere may also be special programs available to you depending on what country you are coming from, and in some cases, what your profession is.  You would need to check with either the CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) (www.uscis.gov) or with the US Department of State for more information.

Abroad?  Where?  There or here (in the USA)?  \nIf you are "there" and want to work "here", ask the embassy.

You could try to apply for a tourist visa -- but I'm assuming you would like to stay in the US for a longer period of time.\n\nAnother way could be to apply for a student visa. If you have an undergraduate degree, you could try to get accepted in a graduate program, preferably one that offers teaching assistantships or fellowships so that you will receive funding. This would allow you to stay in the US as long as it takes you to complete your degree, and you would have the chance to apply for a job in the US once you're done. If you don't get a job in the US, you'd have to return to your country, though.

Hello.  I must take exception to what you read on the State Department website.  Either it's wrong or you misread it.  I say that because this land is full of non-citizens (here legally) who have jobs, and I know some of them.  Certainly you must have a work permit or work visa, but you do not need to be a U.S. citizen to work here.  Citizenship, by the way, takes several years to earn.\n\nSomebody here has offerred some other information links.  I hope you can find better information.  Good luck, and I hope you can reach your goal of coming to the U.S.!

one fluent in English would say: "I am a graduate, fluent in English."  had to let you know.\n\nanyway, you'll need a passport and a visa.  get the visa from the embassy or consolate in your country.  fly in, get a place to live and call immigration.  there will be a bit of paperwork and a long wait, you'll need a visa extension and a work permit.  you need to begin work in new country as soon as possible as you will need local references to complete immigration requirements.\n\ngood luck

The U.S. is the number one country that gives out work visas.  You have to go to contact the U.S. government in your country to get one.

Contrary to what the poster above me said, a non-US citizen CANNOT get federal jobs. US citizenship is a requirement for government jobs.\n\nFind a US company in your field, and see if they will sponsor you. If they do, they can proceed with employment-based application for green card where you get employment approval first from Department of Labor (e.g. the employer needs to prove that no Americans can fill the job as well as you, and that they tried to look for an American to fill the job to no avail). It can be a long process depending on the state. Or they can put you on the fast-track H1B process, but you can only stay for a maximum of 6 years. \n\nI suggest you start looking for recruiters in your area (e.g. nurses are one in-demand job) who can connect you with potential employers. Or you can come to the US on a visitors visa and try your luck in getting a job while you have valid visa.

Contact the local office of the United States Embassy in Norway. They will advise you one the legalities. Then search the major international job websites, get copies of the major Sunday newspapers job classified sections, search for potential employers.  Be prepared to be able to tell them how to be able to handle the legalities of hiring you, unless you go to a very major employer who is regularly in the practice of hiring international employees.  Many others will simply not hire you due to their own lack of information. \n\nDo not try to skip any of the legal steps, especially now.  The current anti-illegal sentiment could cause you significant inconvenience at best.

Most anybody can hire you in the USA. It depends on your  experience and what you really want. It is easier for foreigners to get a job in the USA then for Americans to get a job abroad. I know this from experience. Create a well written accurate resume and make a list of places you want to work and go for it.

Hi, I'm a Canadian working in the US.  It is very difficult to get a work visa  here.  You have to be able to show that there are no Americans who can legitimately do the work you're doing, or have a corporate sponsor in the States to file the visa paperwork on your behalf.  Even with that, until you can get a green card (and that took me 7 yrs, even being married to an American), you need to renew your visa periodically (I believe it's yearly).  Go to the INS website (I think they're under the Dept. of Justice now), but it'll take a lot.  BTW, I am still a canadian citizen.
