How can an educated and experienced person from Spain come to work legally in NYC


How can an educated and experienced person from Spain come to work legally in NYC?
He has the equivalence of a Bachelors degree in Business and has 4 years of work experience in a telecommunications company in Madrid doing accounting and finance and he is currently the manager of the treasury department. How can he get a job in a company and work legally here? What are the specific requirements for someone to apply for a visa without specific pre-determined purpose here? Any website suggestions or companies that are known to hire internationally?

He can apply for a tourist visa to enter the US and then look for a job while here. When he finds an employer, they will need to file the legal paper work to get him a H1B visa - an employment based visa. However, it is very difficult to do so because of the annual quota on H1B - it runs out very fast. And, there are many companies would specify that they only consider candidates with permanent work authorization. Perhaps he can work for a company in Spain with operations in US. Moving to the US through internal transfer is probably faster and easier. My 2 cents.

if you can find a job to hire you, they will sponsor your green card, work permit, or the visa you need to work if what you do is an asset, you can sponsor yourself go to the uscis.gov
