Thanks for the response. I am sure though that say if my UK boyfriend comes in on a B1/B2 visa , he could find under the table work in bars or something.

I dont know what else to tell him. My uncle is an electrician and i will prob ask him what the deal will be. But i have heard that yes it is hard to find work here as one coming from the UK.

Also, maybe it is feasible that he went to school or a training school here on a student visa, he then might be able to work legally part time. (He is not a college grad which would prob hinder him more as well)

ahhhh long distance relationships !!! Hope something gives!
