Re: Work invitation to the USA

If you have a family member there you can apply for residence so that you can join them, which also gives you the right to work. You are asking about "work invitation" which I believe is something else.

Do you happen to know ways to get a residence there without family? As far as I know you have to be highly qualified to qualify for the immigration program. However I know that some immigrants there work jobs such as taxi drivers, so how do they do it?

Hey Rolf
It works as the following:
Someone at the states (friend,relative or etc) that owns a shop lets say a carpenter want a specialist, a professional machine handler.
He invites his friend from Lebanon by a work visa and when he gets there he immediately starts work and gets his residence then gathers his family.

That is a myth. The work visa in the US is called H1B which has a limit per year.
Also it has a lot of requirements to be fulfilled by the employer. That is mainly the only type of work visa.

An option is the DV lottery. It is how I moved there late 2017.
