how easy is it to get a work permit in the USA as im from the uk and looking to move to the USA for a year or two. im looking to find a place in louisville ky or in clevland OH were my cousion lives

IT take's 3 months when you file or to request working permit for more information try this website
{ http://www.uscis.gov} a guide for new immigrants.
I'd also assume that coming from the UK, it should be quite easier to obtain one as opposed to if you were from a nation on the DHS watch list. As for the 3 months wait, if the USCIS is anything like the DMV, I'd expect a ridiculously longer return time and an unnecessarily complicated application process.
I believe a work permit is granted only if there's a job waiting for you and usually the employer helps in the paperwork and to verify the need for a foreign skilled worker as opposed to an American. However, maybe I'm wrong. If you're in the medical field, an Registered Nurse or doctor, you'd have no problem. Otherwise, the best thing to do might be to come on a tourist visit and overstay and work under the table at restaurants or some other type of employment you can can be paid in cash. Just be aware, if you're caught, you'll be denied entry into the USA in the future once they throw you out. Too bad you're not Mexican. They just crawl over, under, and through the border and then boldly demand rights!
Garry, you're going about it the right way by wanting to do everything legally. You'll just have a much better life here that way. Hope things work out for you and we can welcome you to the U.S.A.

I am also in a similar situation. I am a UK citizen and am getting married to a girl working in US on H1-B visa. Is it possible for me to get a work permit in US once I go over there on H4 visa?
You guys need to talk with a lawyer specializing in Immigration issues (its the US, we have a lawyer for everything ) I don't know how much it costs but I'm sure you can call them for free. Pm me and I can recommend one. Good Luck!
