Partir travailler en urgence aux États-Unis

Bonjour tout le monde.
Je suis tout nouveau membre et je poste deja, tout simplement car je suis desespere. (pas cool sans accens ce mot ...)
Enfin bref pour la petite histoire voila.
Cela fait un an que j'ai une relation avec une americaine, en France, et depuis un mois on est au USA car elle avait plus de visa en France.
Donc pour le moment j'ai un visa waiver expirant le premier janvier de cette annee, et je pensai trouver un travail sur place.
Ha ha ha .... j'ai trouve un employeur qui serait pres a m'embaucher pour devenir Producer dans une boite de jeu video. (j'ai un master francais en management.)
Donc mon peut etre futur employeur veut avant tout connaitre les procedures et le temps pour que je puisse travailler legalement aux USA.
Je revient tout juste du centre d'immigration ou l'on m'as dit deux choses.
La premiere que mon CEO remplisse le formulaire I-129 pour qu'il est une aprobation pour que je puisse faire les demarches pour un H1B ....
mais voila ..... je peux pas en avoir un avant 2009 .... vous comprendrez bien que ca va faire doucement rigoler mon peut etre moins sur employeur du coup ...
Mais mon gros probleme, entre autre de vouloir atrocement ce job, c'est que j'aimerai pouvoir rester avec ma petite amie, qui je suis sur deviendra la mere de mes enfants.
Donc si vous avez une solution pour moi, ca serait super cool :D
PS : pas de bol je suis francais aussi ^^. Merci a vous.

si tu es sur que ta copine americaine sera la mere de tes enfants...et vu ta situation, une seule chose: vous marier 😉! tu obtiendras une autorisation de travail et une greencard; and so, tu seras totalement legal sur le sol US.
mais bon ca prendra quand meme du temps...et je ne pense pas que ton employeur attendra !😕
sinon, oublie le H1b🤪, car le process est bien trop long (il faut deposer ton dossier le 1er avril 2008 pour commencer a travailler en octobre 2008; bien sur si tu as la 'chance' que ton dossier soit accepte!); donc il te reste le visa J1 😉(valable 18 mois) regarde sur le site de l'ambassade pour avoir des infos; tu devras passer par un organisme payant qui te fournira un papier indispensable pour ce visa (ex: parenthese paris: va sur leur site; il y a d'autres organismes comme ca mais je ne connais pas leur nom). si tout est fait correctement et que tu entres dans les criteres de ce visa, les demarches sont simples et assez rapides.
good luck !😉

Bonjour,
En effet, le mariage avec ta copine est la solution la plus rapide et certaine pour travailler et rester aux USA...
Attention, meme si tu te marie durant ce sejour aux USA, tu ne pouras pas travailler immediatement. Il te faudra demander une autorisation de travail que tu recevras (si elle est acceptee) de 3 mois minimum a ... (je ne sais pas le maximum) apres la demande.
Bonne chance!

Je sais que cela sert à rien de revenir sur ce qui a déjà été fait, mais je suis presque certain qu'elle aurait pu rester sur le sol Français.
Pour exemple, j'ai une amie étrangère qui est en France tout à fait légalement depuis déjà trois ans sous une carte de séjour "visiteur".
Il suffit juste de prouver qu'on a les ressources financières suffisantes.
Vu que les USA persistent dans leur suspicion anti-étrangère (qui a fait chuter les chiffres du tourisme en passant), pourquoi ne pas vous installer tous les deux dans un pays dans lequel vous serez tous deux étrangers certes, mais peut être mieux traités en ce qui concerne l'obtention de visas?

C'est un peu hors sujet, mais je trouve vraiment "arriérée" cette politique aux États-Unis qu'il faut absolument être mariés pour parrainer (ou se faire accompagner lors d'une expatriation) son conjoint.
Qu'en est-il des couples qui ne VEULENT pas se marier, mais qui sont dans une relation conjugale depuis des années, souvent avec des enfants? En quoi le mariage est plus valable aux yeux de l'État?
Au Canada, on peut parrainer son conjoint de fait pour une immigration (résidence permanente).
Un étranger qui obtient un permis de travail peut être accompagné par sa conjointe de fait qui aura le droit de vivre avec lui et même de travailler pendant le contrat.
Un étudiant qui vient s'inscrire dans une université canadienne peut également faire venir son/sa conjoint(e) de fait pendant toute la période de ses études!
Évidemment, dans les cas où les couples ne sont pas mariés, ils doivent prouver qu'ils ont dans une relation conjugale depuis au moins 12 mois (contrat d'hypothèque de la maison, relevés d'impôts, etc.) Mais puisque même dans les cas de mariage, il faut aussi vérifier qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un mariage bidon (mariage blanc), ce n'est pas plus long ni même plus compliqué comme processus.
J'aimerais bien que les conjoints de fait puisse avoir le même statut et la même reconnaissance dans les autres pays. Il me semble qu'il y a du travail à faire de ce côté.
C'était ma pensée du jour 😉

Ok je prend note de tout ca.
Aujourd'hui je suis alle (encore une fois) au service de l'immigration de boston, et apparement les deux options les plus rapides sont de faire un J1 (trainee) ou de passer par un visa fiance, de me marrier et a ce moment la j'aurais un permit de travail.
Je suis donc entre en contact avec des organismes qui s'occupe de l'optention des visas J1. Interexchange qui apparement ne fait que des demandes pour des trainning period de 4 mois. J'ai aussi le numero de AIPT mais il faut que j'appel demain.
Selon Interxchange ca prend en gros 1 mois et demi, mais leur explications des demarches et un peu flou ...
Donc si quelques connaitrait un organisme specialiser pour mon probleme (Je suis deja en contact avec un studio de jeu video qui veut m'embaucher), ou quelqu'un qui connaitrer les demarches pour l'obtention d'un visa J1, je serai super interressee.
Merci a tous.
PS : question bonus. Quelqu'un connaitrait les delais pour obtenir un visa fiance ?
comme je te le disais dans ma reponse: va sur le site de Parenthese Paris;leur site est assez explicite !😉
le visa fiance: compte a peu pres 6 mois apres le mariage pour avoir une autorisation de travail (ca peut etre plus ou moins !)
comme je te le disais, c'est le visa J1 qui reste le plus rapide😉...apres qqs mois, vous pourrez envisager le mariage afin que tu restes plus longtemps aux US !

Bonjour,
Il y a egalement une autre possibilite qui est de te marier avec ta fiancee durant ce sejour (donc sans passer par le visa K fiance).
Apres le mariage, il te faudra faire une demande d'Ajustement de statut (qui peut prendre plusieurs mois). Il faut toutefois que tu sache que si tu veux travailler ou sortir et surtout re-rentrer dans le pays, il faudra demander une Advance Parole (pour voyager) et une autorisation de travail. En general et si tout va bien, l'autorisation de travail arrive lors du 3eme mois mais ca peut etre plus long (il n'y a pas de regles).
Quelle que soit ta decision, bonne chance! 😉

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
