Getting a job in NYC from London
Hi everyone,
I was wondering whether anyone has experience of getting a job / recruiting for US based jobs as an EU citizen ? Currently an associate in a large cap PE fund in London and would love to work in NYC for a few years so wanted to understand the process for getting a job in the US without US citizenship, if anyone has ever done that.
thanks!
you need a company that sponsors you L1 visa - some PEs do that.
If you don't have US Citizenship / Permanent Resident card, your only feasible options for a move to the US are:
1) Internal transfer (L-1 visa): find a job at a multinational firm, and after one year working for them, they are eligible to sponsor an internal transfer visa to their US office. Keep in mind that this visa does not allow you to reside permanently in the US, nor to switch employers once you are there, but if you end up doing that with 5+ years of experience in the EU/UK it is very likely that they would start processing your immigration.
2) Education (F-1 visa -> OPT -> H1B). Getting an MBA, then recruiting for a job while in the US. You'd have up to three years of work authorization (STEM OPT, offered by most MBA majors), and then you'd have 3-4 shots at the H1B lottery. If you are not familiar with the terms, F-1 is the student visa, and H1B is the skilled worker visa.
3) Investor green card (EB-5): I believe the minimum threshold today are USD 900k dollars in a project that meets specific requirements. Returns on those investments are usually not great, but it is a path to permanent residency, and you would be able to move without having to worry about visa sponsorship.
4) Marriage. Probably the fastest way to move the US, but obviously not very simple. It needs to be a bona fide (genuine) relationship.
