Can I work with a visa?

Yes, you can work in the U.S. with a visa. If you live in Florida and want to work in the U.S., you must first obtain an employment authorization document (EAD) from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Depending on your visa type, you may also need to apply for a work permit, also known as an employment authorization visa (EAV). You may be eligible to apply for a work permit depending on the type of visa you are holding. For instance, if you are holding a B-1 or B-2 tourist visa, you are not allowed to work in the U.S. However, if you are holding a student (F-1) or exchange visitor (J-1) visa, you can apply for a work permit as long as you are enrolled in a program that allows for part-time or practical training. If you are in the U.S. on an employment-based visa, such as an H or L visa, you can apply for an EAD. It is important to note that in order to be eligible to apply for an EAD or a work permit, you must meet certain criteria, including that you have a valid, unexpired visa and have not violated the terms of your visa. Furthermore, certain visa types may be qualified only for specific types of work. Therefore, it is important to check with the USCIS to determine your eligibility and to understand the restrictions on the type of work you can engage in while in the U.S. with a visa.
