Hi guys,

I've been in Toronto for a month now on the IEC working holiday with a view to making it permanent residency once I get a job offer. A few of the roles I have been interviewed for require work in the US and I can't find a visa that would cover this, anyone more clued up on this than I am?

Bit of background - it would be for a Field Technician role and there would be a 4 week training course in the States first (which I assume counts as work as it is paid) and then I would be required to travel to the states every so often for jobs lasting no longer than 6 weeks.

Any info greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

1. You are probably going to require an HB1 to work in the US, good luck in obtaining one.
