you can only stay for 90 days on the visa waiver a visa to stay up to 6 months will cost you £67 and you won't be allowed to work anyway .When you go through immigration they will want to know the ins and outs of where you will be staying during your visit and if you can't satisfy them they will put you on the next flight back home .The only way is to go through the proper channels and join a scheme such as was suggested like a summer camo who wilkl do the paper work for you .If you decide to ignore all advice and go anyway bear in mind if you are refused admission to the dstates once its hard everytime to get in .Security has become a major thing since 9-11 and the immigration officer has the final say on whether or not you enter the country.I have a second home there ans still get third degree at the airport .

he's right. you won't get a visa. unless you have a special skill, and we're
talking things like professor of aerospace engineering or professional athlete. I wouldn't come to North America with the hope of working illegally. Many employers won't take the risk as the fines are quite high if they are caught. why not go to Canada (my homeland)? As a Brit you are entitled to a 1 year working holiday visa. Living in, say, Toronto or Vancouver is not that different to living in the US, culturally, and you can travel to the US as you like to see the sights etc. yes, it's cold in Canada but the climate of a city like Toronto is much the same as somewhere like New York or Chicago. \"Dennis P.

And, i'm not looking for a career.. just something that means I can afford to stay out there for those months. Thing is, i'm not sure if this is even possible? It's not. You need a work visa, which is almost impossible for you to get. |

If he wants to go as a worker at a summer camp or in the National parks service its perfectly possible. They dont pay much but then the original poster didnt require that. Thousnads of youngsters and students do just that every year, Keith |

There is a summer camp program from young foreigners to go to the US. It's
*not* the same as a work visa, or a working holiday type visa. you must work at the camp and it's short term. http://www.greatcampjobs.com/j1visa/index.htm http://www.greatcampjobs.com/f1visa/index.htm "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ...

No they dont, they need a sponsor for a J-1 Visa and have to attend an interview at the US embassy The following organisations are J-1 sponsors http://www.campamerica.co.uk/ http://www.ccusa.com/CCUSA/why_do_ccusa.html http://www.gpihr.com/international_applicants.htm I met a girl from Birmingham working in Glacier Park on exactly this programme earlier in the year.

The usual arrangement is for people to work 11 or 12 weeks than take 4 or five weeks to travel having earned some pocket money. For an 18 or 19 year old its not a bad program. Keith |
