Hello everyone.

I'm thinking the best way to search a job in US is take some holidays then search for ordinary jobs then I'm used to US culture look for a specific job.

It is the best way? I'm wondering DC, New York and California.

You can search but you cannot legally work unless you have the appropriate visa or US citizenship.

with employment based visas, the employer has to be the one to file the visa for you. again, you can't break the rules of being on tourist visa and then immediately starting work here once you find a job. you have to go back home and process everything with your embassy there. your current entry to the US is via tourist visa, NOT ANY OTHER WORK ELIGIBLE VISA, hence employers won't legally hire you unless they go the illegal route and you have to keep hiding yourself from authorities to not get deported for breaking the tourist visa rules

travel.state.gov is an official US site in regards to visa and immigration. Why do you not explore visa options and requirements? Let us know when you have specific questions.

the OP does not want to. he only wants to hear that he can get in the US on tourist visa, find a job, then stay here for as long as he has that job without regard to immigration rules/laws

Thank you for advice. So the best way is going to US with a contract.

Thank you! I'll read explore and learn how your system works. In Europe it's different

Enzo - that is Italian, is it not?
Have you considered a year of Work & Travel which is an option for young people to explore Canada, Australia and New Zealand while working there? The US does not offer this.

Google "work & travel". Then start your homework. Remember US = vacation AUS/NZ = holiday. There are also specific forums out there.

Let us know when you have questions.

Are you qualified for an externship or an exchange semester in the US?
