How about trying for a H-2 Temporary Labor visa?  You find out more information here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=229c6138f898d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=71919c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1____\n\nUnfortunately, you have to apply for some type of visa in order to be allowed to find employment in the US, if you want to do things legally that is.    The only loopholes are to do things illegally, not recommended.

I doubt if anyone in YA can sponsor your husband. \n\nInstead of asking here, I suggest your husband starts scouting for job sites such as Monster.com http://www.monster.com and find employers who  are looking for someone with his qualifications. If your husband is talented and experienced enough (and no American can fill his position), the company may want to sponsor him. \n\nNote though that your husband has to be extra special for an employer to actually fly to him for the interview.\n\nOtherwise, it might be useful to try to get a tourist visa first. Come to the USA and use that visit as a springboard for interviewing with potential employers. Be careful though when applying for a tourist visa not to mention that your husband is planning to look for work. Once the consul detects that you're planning to work in the US, you will not receive a tourist visa.\n\nSponsoring an alien for employment is not without any expense, both time and resources. The H1B route is quick and you can get your visa in 3 months or even less. But you are allowed to stay for 3 years renewable for another 3 years. \n\nThe better route is immigration through employment, as that leads to green card immediately. But the process is long and tedious as you first have to get a Labor Certification to prove that no American will do the job better. Labor Certification alone can take up anywhere from 2-5 years depending on the backlog in the state. \n\nI suggest you read the following instructions on employment based immigration -- and yes, an employer who will sponsor your husband is the requirement\n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1323.html

The easiest way is to marry an American.  They can help you obtain a Temporary Resident Visa and then after a few years, if you qualify, you can obtain Permanent Residency.\nNowadays, it is really dificult to obtain Visas for this country.

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.

It depends on which country you come from. Some nationalities need no visa to visit the US. Most likely, though, you will have to fill out an application at your local US Embassy or consulate, make an appointment, and pay a fee. You'll need to show proof of employment, sufficient funds in your bank, and strong ties to your country of residence. This means owning property, having a lucrative job, having a business there, or sometimes having children in your country who will not be travelling with you. Unfortunately, it is not a pleasant experience for most people. It can be rather insulting. I have never been through it because I am an American citizen, but I know many people who have, including my husband. He did get his visa, because he owned a house and business in his country and because the embassy official recognized that he would not overstay his visa and ruin his chances of getting legitimate permanent residence status should we decide to live in the US. \n\nGood luck to you.

As a green card holder, you have the right to reside in the US.  You also are allowed to travel anywhere and anytime you want.  The limitations on travel are that you must maintain your residence in the US.  This means you must work here, not work outside the US, pay taxes, and maintain a residence.  If you want to travel, you can generally travel for up to six months without any problems (keeping in mind the other conditions I mentioned earlier).  The only way that travel outside the US would affect your ability to apply for American citizenship is that you have to have a certain amount of physical presence in the US.  I am not sure what those requirements are now, and they are subject to change by the time you area eligible to apply.

It will be very difficult for him to immigrate to the US unless he applies to do a master´s degree there and go on a student visa.  Then he could get a work permit.

You can look for a position on monster.com.\n\nBe sure to have the appropriate visa, you can only work legally with a working visa.  Considering that you are still looking for a job, I would assume that you don't have a working visa.  Other than working visa, you can only work legally if you have Green Card or citizenship.  If you are neither a Green Card holder nor a citizenship, you are not allowed to work in the US.  If you do and if you get caught, you will be subject to deportation.  Once you are deported, you won't be eligible to come to the US (with any visa whatsoever even if you are married to the US citizen) for 15 years.

Move on a work visa and apply for landed immigrant status once you're there. Contact the American embassy in your city for more information.

Do you mean you've qualified as a teacher in Scotland?\n\nif so, when you go to register in American they will probably want to see a course transcript/breakdown which includes the syllabus of your course, so they can compare it to the USA teacher training courses and make sure you've covered the same things they ask of their own trainees.\n\nyou should request a transcript from wherever you did your training. Providing the USA are happy with what you've studied and the teaching experience you have, you shouldn't have to do anything else.\n\nif you're dealing with the immigration office in America, they should be able to advise in more detail.

Yes, he can. Because he is a US citizen and you are his immediate relative. However, I would ask an immigration lawyer about how he can do it without having you to exit the country first.

I'm going to assume you a Phillippine citizen.... so Yes, as long as you have the proper paperwork done to work in US, you can work in America temporarily until you become a US citizen or renew your paperwork.

It's an absolute nightmare.  There are a limited number of visas granted to British citizens each year, and they are usually snapped up within 36 hours of being available.  Usually big corporations get them for their UK employees who are working in the US.\n\nIf it's at all feasible, he might consider going to Canada first.  It is much easier for a Brit to emigrate to Canada, and it is much easier for a Canadian to emigrate to the US.\n\nGood luck.

they've got websites with everything you need to know. just google (or yahoo) australian visa, or working permit. If your family is there you shouldn't have a problem.

There are no such requirements for immigration to the US.  If you're talking about not being able to qualify for a /us tourist visa, then just getting a job or buying a house in your own country won't work either.  The interviewing officer needs to be convinced that you intend to visit the US for a short time and then return home.  If you can't convince him or her of that, the law says your application must be refused.

There are several ways, but unfortunately it will be difficult.\n\n1) File for refugee status.  If you can prove that his life is in danger in his home country, he can get a visa that is on track to green card and US citizenship status.\n\n2) Help him be accepted to a US university or other educational institute.  They will support his student visa, and then once he is in the US and graduates, he will be automatically eligible to work ion the US for a year in his field of study.  After that, his company can sponsor him for a visa to stay longer.\n\n3) Help him find a job.  If a US company will sponsor him to do a job that they can't find a US citizen to do, they can sponsor him for a visa or even a green card.  I know people who have done this for telecommunications infrastructure development and I know someone who did this as a cook in an Irish Pub (in the US I live in an affluent area and there aren't a lot of cooks around).  If you have the money, you can even found your own business with an emphasis on doing business with Afghanistan, and then support him for a visa as you need and Afghan expert with contacts.  Maybe you could export handicrafts?  It would be relatively simple to set something up and you could probably find a supplier on Chicken Street pretty fast.  You don't have to very successful, just enough to justify his help (even as a start-up consultant)\n\n4) Bring him to the US on a tourist visa.  This is normally hard to get for an Afghan, but if you invite him (officially) and provide a guarantee for any expenses he incurs, then he should get it.  I know an Afghan who came to the US that way.  Once he is here, he can try looking for a job that will sponsor him.\n\n5) Hire an immigration lawyer.  They can often find ways that no one has ever thought of. Even if you just get the money together to talk to a top immigration lawyer on the phone for an hour or two, they usually deliver.  You can find immigration lawyers and some information about them at: http://lawyers.martindale.com/\n\nGood luck!
