not easy but not so hard as well

You need a sponsor (employer) for a work visa - you can't apply for one on your own. http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html Australians do have an advantage and can get an E-3 Work Visa (the "immigration support" website is a commercial site): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-3_visa http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/visa_e3.html http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2005/s1366493.htm Check with US companies in Australia and Australian companies with offices in the USA. For example, Hilton and Marriott hire international staff as interns. Australians and New Zealanders also qualify for: http://newzealand.usembassy.gov/swt_faq.html Australian citizens can visit the USA for up to 90 days as a tourist, so you could travel for interviews & tests if necessary: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/business_pleasure/vwp/i94_samples.xml Search "international exchange programs USA" and there should be many links to programs that offer temporary and seasonal work in the US. Examples are: www.ccusa.com http://www.bunac.org/australia/ Do carefully check any programs you might be interested in as not all of them are a good deal. Another option is to go to school in the USA. Australian citizens can more easily get a US student visa and you MAY be able to work on-campus. Having a USA university diploma or certificate will make applying for jobs easier, and going to school in the US will help you decide if you really want to work here: www.collegesintheusa.com If you decide to go to university in the USA the first step is to identify several schools you might want to attend and make contact with their offices of international students For example: http://global.tulane.edu/oiss/ www.oiss.uno.edu Good luck!

In order to move to the USA, you will first need a visa, and the link, below, is to the US State Department's "Visa Types For Immigrants" webpage, which is where you will have to start. Good luck!... :-D http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1326.html

If you have strong credentials yes but just to be on the safe side get an American education in the states it boosts your merit.My friend from Brasil worked in NJ as a day care teacher but she didn't need that much except for her degree

I think this is doable. Beside, I remember a few years ago the New York City Department of Education was hiring qualified teacher from other countries to work in the City's Public School system. I'm not sure if the DOE still does it, but I recommend checking out the link below. http://schools.nyc.gov/TeachNYC/default.htm I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck

Yes I don't see why not but as long as you have all the necessary paperwork including a work visa etc then yes, you certainly could but I would also ask the uni you are getting your degree at as they would be more up to date with what is out there in the world for you. Good luck and all the very best of wishes.
