How difficult is it to get a visa for temporary work? With my British passport I'm included in the Visa Waiver Program which entitles me to 3 months holidays out there, but I doubt covers working.
What's the chances of getting a job without a social security number? How hard is it for me to get an SS number?
Any advice or tips please?
Thanks

I moved from UK 12 years ago..
To work you need a ss # unless you speak spanish and want to work for $100 a day as casual labour, which you don't.
For them to give you a social security number you need to apply for a work visa before you leave england.
I beleive it is hard to get a work visa as you have to prove that you should get the job over an american.
The best way is to get a job where the employer gets you the work visa...
