How do I move to the US from the UK for work and get a work visa or a sponsor?

Moving to the US from the UK for work involves finding a job with a US employer willing to sponsor your visa. Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Secure a Job Offer in a Sponsor-eligible Field:

• Look for jobs in the US that require a specific skill set and qualifications you possess.
• Focus on occupations listed under sponsor-eligible visas like H-1B (specialty occupations) or E visas (investors/treaty traders). Research these visa categories on the USCIS website ( https://www.uscis.gov/ ).
  2. Employer Sponsorship:
• The US employer initiates the visa sponsorship process by filing a petition (Form I-129) with USCIS on your behalf.
• This petition demonstrates that the job requires specialized skills and you possess the qualifications, and that hiring you won't negatively affect US workers' job opportunities.
  3. Visa Application:
• Once the USCIS approves the petition, you can apply for the work visa at a US embassy or consulate in the UK.
• The specific visa type (H-1B, E etc.) will depend on your job offer and qualifications. Each visa category has its own requirements and application process.
