You have an interesting issue concerning third country national visa processing. \n\nAs Japanese citizens, your husband and daughter do not need visas to enter the U.S. as visitors. If you have not obtained Japanese citizenship, but are nonetheless living in Japan with your family, you will need to apply for a visitor's visa through the U.S. Consualte having jurisdiction over your residency. I don't imagine they will give you much of a problem with processing as a third country national since your family is Japanese, so you will only need to show you have substantial ties to Japan. \n\nYou need to fill out the appropriate visa application forms and supplement them with documents showing your ties to Japan (i.e. recent bank statements, copy of a mortgage/lease, job letter if you're working, etc.) The more you can show the consulate that you have substantial ties to Japan, the more likely you will get approved. Oh, and don't forget to give them copies of your round-trip air reservations (that's a big one to some consular officers).\n\nGood luck!

Depending on your resume , but you should expect between 55-70 in the 1st job, also matters if you are a US citizen or require H1 visa sponsorship to work in the US for more than 1 year for your employer.

Your Nationality is determinant in many cases.if you give you age nationality then i can tell you in greta details . another option is student visa.

Depends upon what your legal status in US is. \n\nFirst of all, you do not need US companies---any company that does business in US can sponsor you---e.g. Infosys or Wipro in India, can sponsor you in the US. \n\nUnless you have a special skill, it is very difficult. Best way is to either hire an immigration attorney or a  recruiter who can, for a fee, look for employers trying to bring professionals on H1 or L1 etc. or look for special categories of visas. Otherwise, talk to a US company about sponsoring you in your field.\n\nBefore you waste a lot of time looking thru internet and being scammed, do some homework. Ask yourself---why would someone in US want to sponsor you, specially for permanent residency?\n\nSome professions like cooks, foreign language specialists and religious teachers are always in demand. So are IT people, but only for higher applications like security, cross-border applications etc. \n\nGood luck.

Goto the US embassy in your country and get a Non Immigrant Visa application form from there.  Fill out the form and follow the instructions written on it. Then submit it in the embassy, and you might just get a visa.

If you want to study full-time in the US, you will need your own     I-20, SEVIS number and F-1 visa.  If you have not yet entered the US, you may apply for an F-1 visa; if granted, they will cancel your F-2 visa.  If you are already in the US, you may apply for a change of status from an F-2 to an F-1.

I'm surprise no one has answered your question yet if there seems to be so many erudits out these on immigration issues.\n\nThere are three types of work visas avaible.  They are called H1B visas.  One of them is for people with advance degrees (PhD or doctorate degrees) and people with extraordinary abilities (have won novel prices, for instance.\n\nThere is another type of visa for people who have been offered a job in the U.S. and their employers wants to sponsor them.  The employer; however, needs to fill out a Labor Certification where they state that your abilities cannot be found in any American.  That means that you will not be taking a job away form a CAPABLE America.  You usually need to have a Master's degree to have better changes to get this visa.\n\nThen the other visa type is for people who work in agriculture.\n\nOther than that.  It would be hard for you to get a US work visa if you are in your country and have no employer to sponsor you.

I believe the J1 visa is for visting programs. I don't think you can go to college full time, but maybe taking a class or two you can edge your way in. US colleges like to see if you have taken classes before in a similar setting, so I would suggest you take a class or two if there is a college nearby. If you are accepted full-time into an accredited college or university, then they will give you the paperwork for an F1 visa, which is for students. You will not be allowed to work on this visa unless it is for an internship program. \n\nYou can apply now for schools since you are in the US it is easier to speed the process along. However, if you do change your visa status, then you may need to leave the US and come back (maybe by just going up to Canada). \n\nThe J1 visa is a pretty good one. You are allowed to work and pursue your interests, as far as I know. I don't think you'd be breaking the law by taking classes part time, as long as you are still employed by the organization that gave you the J1 visa, your Au Pair organization. \n\nI hope that's clear. I took an immigrant law class several years ago, and that's the best I can remember it all :)
