I am a 25-year-old business student finishing my degree in April 2009 on Vancouver Island. After graduating I would like to move to New York City and work for 1 or 2 years. I plan on renting out my house here on Vancouver Island and intend on returning to it one day.
With what research I have done I realize that I will need a US employer to sponsor my visa but my question is can I move to New York on a tourist visa (3 months) and plan that during the first 3 months I will get hired by a US employer and at that time apply for a work visa?
(I have a feeling it will be hard getting a job offer before I am actually living in New York)
Any advice, information or direction on my situation would be greatly appreciated.
