Basically my situation looks a little like this. I am 20 years old and I want to come to live to New York for a year maybe 2. Now I know it's difficult but I am determined to make this happen...
As far as I know, an employment based visa is my best option so with this in mind, I'm going to have to find an employer who would be willing to help me with a visa form after they have given me a job offer. Obviously the best way to get a job offer is to actually go to the city myself and ask around for jobs. (I'm looking for a bartending job, I have experience). But my question lays with the fact that you need a social security number (right?) to get a job in the first place. So how can I apply for job's in the first place?
Also, does anyone know any simpler ways that this can be resolved, or places online or anything which can make getting a job in NY easier for foreigners. I understand the climate isn't great at the moment, but I have belief that this can be done.
You'd better plan on coming here and "forgetting" to leave while working under-the-table, if you're so "determined." No one will sponsor a 20-year-old bartender for a work visa. No one.
I don't want a criminal record! Is it worth it do you think, how can I get a job without an employment visa? Surely its too risky..
If you're caught you'll be deported and probably barred from ever entering the States again, so no, it's not worth it, but it's the only way it'll happen.
It's not hard for people with desirable skills, of which bartending is not one.
Do you have any family here?
Nope. Obviously it's easier for people with professional skills that are transferable. But what do all the young people who want to immigrate do. I get the impression 9/11 changed a lot in rules and regulations. And I guess for the good.

They overstay their tourist visas and work crap jobs under-the-table.

Where are you trying to emigrate from?
Is this seriously something I could try, I mean, surely it's a great risk?
I'm trying to come from the UK.
