Working in the USA

[Ralph]

Good morning everyone,

First of all, let me introduce myself.

I'm Ralph, a 24 year old Belgian citizen. In about a year I will have my Masters degree in Industrial Sciences, IT. It is one of the most demanded degrees in Belgium.
But I am not planning on staying in Belgium, it just does not fit my lifestyle and everything seems so dull.
People here have become consumed by materialism and it dictates everything they do.

For that purpose, I have started my own afterschool business, repairing computers and networks for people in my hometown and surrounding areas.

I have seen and heard a lot about the US from people that visited and even from friends that now work in Silicon Valley.
I'm just wondering, is there any real chance of getting a permanent working or citizen visa if you don't have any connections?

I thank you all for your opinion,
have a very nice day!
Ralph

You have zero chance of getting permanent residency visa without someone willing to go through the difficult (and possibly unsuccessful) process of petitioning you under the Labor Certification process.

The typical path for skilled workers like you is to get a non-immigrant visa (H1-B). Then, as an outstanding employee, you can negotiate with your employer to petition you for an immigrant visa (EB-2 or EB-3).

Even if you are not an outstanding employee, while here in the United States you might have the social skills to meet a citizen who wants to marry you. That will result in you receiving a green card, permanent residency in the United States.

Thank you for you quick reply! I'll have a look at the non-immigrant visa (H1-B) and find out what the possibilities are and how to get ahold of one in the future.
