You have to get a company to sponsor you so you can get a work permit. Without a work permit you're pretty much screwed. It would be hard to get a company to sponsor you right now because so many american workers are out of jobs, most companies won't even consider hiring somene who isn't an american citizen right now.

Now is not the time I'm afraid. I've been trying to get into the US for the last 3 years without success, and I'm pretty qualified. Now with the recession, its almost impossible. I think Canada or Australia are your only options at this moment.

Unfortunately with unemployment reaching 14% in the states it's nearly impossible for foreigners to get work visa's. You'll need to check the immigration laws. Without a sponsor and work permit, you will only be allowed to stay in the states for 90 days, and you will not be able to work during that time. Even if one of you gets a job in the states you both are not allowed to come on that one visa. .. both of you will need to do this.. since you can't sponsor each other. BTW.. ny is EXTREMELY expensive. Unless you are both professionals with decent salaries, you won't be able to afford a decent apartment in the city. Maybe Brooklyn or queens or bunk with a few roomates. Start checking immigration laws for work visas, residency requirements etc. You just can't get off the plane and live here.
