How can an educated and experienced person from Spain come to work legally in NYC?

We Answered:

He can apply for a tourist visa to enter the US and then look for a job while here. When he finds an employer, they will need to file the legal paper work to get him a H1B visa - an employment based visa.

However, it is very difficult to do so because of the annual quota on H1B - it runs out very fast. And, there are many companies would specify that they only consider candidates with permanent work authorization.

Perhaps he can work for a company in Spain with operations in US. Moving to the US through internal transfer is probably faster and easier.

My 2 cents.

Could I do work experience in spain?

We Answered:

Hi Laura

What kind of work are you looking for?

Do you need this to be paid work or is it OK to be unpaid?

I assume you have a UK passport which means that you can work in Spain, but in order to get paid work you will need to register for a NIE (financial identification number) and a social security number.

If you can do this work unpaid it would be easier...the only thing is that the company insurance policy would need to cover you, but I think that could be done if you sign a temporary contract.

Can you add some information about the kind of work you might be interested in? I live and work in Barcelona and I have a few ideas.

Do you want the work experience to be in Spanish or English?

Cheers

What is it like to work in Spain on a Visa?

We Answered:

If the USA has a double taxation agreement with Spain you should just pay in either country, but if there is no taxation treaty, then you may have to pay in both countries. You'll need to look into that.
In some areas more especially right now, there is a distrust about taking jobs away from the Spanish workers. It depends on where you live and what you want to do.
THe cost of living is cheaper here than the rest of Europe, but in 5 years time it may be different because of the exchange rates you may get at the time.

How can I get to work in the USA. I'm a romanian architectural drafter, working in Spain.?

We Answered:

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.
Nowadays, it is really dificult to obtain Visas for this country.

Marjorie Said:

is it possible to find hairdressing work in spain during the summer season if you are still a trainee?

We Answered:

Many of my friends who came to work in Spain, some working for themselves have had to go back to the UK. Some of those owned their own homes. You will be in a very poorly paid job. If you need to pay for your rent you would really struggle to survive.
A better option is to wait until you are older and more experienced. Also, the economic climate will be better than today. Save for the future and then when you get enough money, make a decision then.
