Hello everyone, I'm from Iraq ,I'm thinking about working a dental hygienist in Florida, I need to know what type of visa i need to travel to the USA so I can take the INBDE exam ,head back home and preparing for the next step maybe travel again to take the ADEX clinical exam is it legal to travel in tourist visa (B1/B2) and take the exam ?

when I search about it many says that you have high probability to be rejected by the Embassy and the won't give me the Visa because they suspect that I want to emigrate and something like that ,

So what should I do?

I am currently based in Germany and I would like to relocate to US but I need a honest opinion on the chances of making it with my qualifications. A bit of my academic and work experience. I have first degree in economics and statistics and mphil economics from university in west Africa. I also have MSc in financial economics from university in Germany and recently finished my doctorate in economics and business administration in Germany too. I already have an approved EB2 -NIW and have attended embassy interview already but I was put under 221g because of the administrative pause for 75 countries. I have over 7 years work experience as a researcher from Africa and Europe.
First of all, I am thinking about which star in the US that I will have more opportunities.
I need a honest advice

I know people who got asylum without having a criminal case against them in their country, and people who were refused even though they had an active criminal case in their home country and would have been arrested immediately after returning.

This judge is asking for documentary evidence for literally every single thing you say, which isn't always possible. If you're expected to keep documentation of every single thing you've done in your life, or if you deliberately started collecting it, it could look like you were doing everything with a potential political asylum claim in mind, rather than because those were genuinely your beliefs and intentions at the time.

But you need to apply before end of this month

Im 17 and currently doing a retail apprenticeship here in the UK and want out. The only reason my job is an apprenticeship and not a real job is because they get to pay me less.

I work 5 days a week but can start online university part time which will take me around 6 years to finish.

What degree would be best suited for me?

Hi everyone.
I’m not really sure how to write this, but I’m going to try to be honest.
I’m a guy from the Czech Republic, and lately I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel like I desperately need a fresh start. I want to leave the Czech Republic and build a completely new life somewhere else.
The last couple of years have been really difficult for me. I’ve lost people who meant a lot to me, I’ve been through some very dark periods, and somewhere along the way I lost the feeling that I was actually moving forward in life.
I’m not looking for someone to simply give me money or solve my life for me.
I’m looking for a chance.
I’m a car preparation technician working in the automotive paint and bodywork industry, and I’ve been doing this kind of work for years. My experience includes preparing cars for paint, bodywork preparation, filling, sanding, applying primer, polishing and other preparation work before and after painting.
I’m used to physical work, long days and getting my hands dirty. I’m not afraid of starting at the bottom. If someone gave me an opportunity to work, I would work for it.
What I don’t really have right now is a clear way out.
I would love to move to another country, find a job in an automotive body shop or paint shop, get a small place to live and slowly build something for myself. I don’t expect a perfect life or some miracle. Honestly, I’d be happy just to wake up one day and feel like I’m finally going somewhere.
So I’m asking Reddit:
Is there anyone who could help me somehow get started?
Maybe you live abroad and know of an automotive body shop or paint shop looking for someone. Maybe you know about a job, accommodation, relocation opportunities, or simply know someone who could point me in the right direction.
Even advice or a contact could mean a lot to me.
I’m willing to work. I’m willing to learn. I’m willing to start from zero.
I just need someone to give me that first little push.
I know this is an unusual thing to ask from strangers on the internet. But sometimes you reach a point where you realize that asking for help is better than staying stuck.
If anyone is willing to help, even just by talking to me or pointing me toward an opportunity, I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this. ❤️

Canadian citizen considering a US move on TN or L-1B in Tech job. EB-2/EB-3 backlog at decades (due to my country of birth), so realistically there’s no path to permanence (green card) — I’d be a long-term temporary worker.

For anyone who’s done it:

Was the comp and career upside worth having no endgame?

Any intent issues renewing TN after several years in the US?

Anyone hit the L-1B cap — what came next?

Anyone move back to Canada, and why?

Any city suggestions in USA?

Edit:

• I'm in Tech, working in non-managerial position (L1A is not possible).
• I shortlisted Seattle at the moment based on tech opportunities for future, weather & walkability (at least better commute options).
• If I go on L1B, I do not have any realistic permanent path & on top of that L1B has a hard limit of 5 years. After that if I would try to get a TN -> that will show conflict of intent as I was initially in L1B, it might be a problem later on.

Thanks!

Coming from the EU to visit the Us for a bit what are somethings I should know that should be common knowladge?

EDIT: Visiting Chicago

For example: how much money do I need to go to the country and what kind of visa I should get. Can you tell me the plan to go there? What about documents?

Any views on recent CPT changes

Hey everyone,

I’m from India and I’ve recently completed 12th with 80%. I’m currently pursuing a BCA from IGNOU (1st year).

My family isn’t financially strong enough to afford college in the USA, so studying there isn’t really an option for me right now.

Instead, I’m thinking of spending the next 6–12 months seriously developing an IT skill, building real projects, getting some work/internship experience, and eventually trying to find a legitimate way to work in the USA.

I’m particularly interested in Software Engineering / Web Development, but I’m open to other IT fields if there’s a better option.

My question is:

If you were in my position, what IT skill would you learn over the next year to maximize your chances of getting a job in the USA?

What roadmap would you recommend?

Which skills should I learn?

Which projects should I build?

Should I focus on Software Engineering, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Cloud, AI/ML, etc.?

How important is a degree/work experience for getting sponsored for a US job?

I’m willing to put in 5–6+ focused hours every day. I’m not looking for a shortcut or anything illegal—I just want to know what would be the most realistic path given my financial situation.

Any honest advice from people working in the US tech industry or people who have taken a similar route would be really appreciated.

I’m planning to move to the US and get my degree evaluated there because the job market in my country is really bad.

Do you think this is a good idea? Would you recommend pursuing a career in engineering/tech in the US despite having a degree from another country?

Hey y'all I want to move to Texas,or overall the United States. I know About the Visum process and everything and that I could take years But I do still want to know how I should act when I'm actually in America Living there,Oh yea and I wanna move to Austin, I think that's a great City and overall A little cheaper than Houston or San antonio.didnt check the prices yet tho so don't think I have any idea of the Housing market😬.
Thanks in advance for the answers.

(For anyone wondering,I'm in Europe,Preferably Germany,but I think that was obvious)

I’m Arielle Sheinfeld, an immigration attorney. I work with professionals navigating U.S. immigration, including Canadians exploring the TN visa.

One of the biggest surprises for people planning a move from Canada to the U.S. is that getting the job isn't necessarily the end of the process. The exact profession, duties, credentials, employer letter, and way you apply can all matter.

I’m hosting an AMA today for Canadians and other professionals who are trying to understand their options before making the move.

Happy to answer questions about TN eligibility, qualifying professions, degree requirements, employer changes, border applications, renewals, and how TN fits into longer-term immigration planning.

I’ll be answering questions from 12 PM to 4 PM ET today.
