Starting life in the U.S.? Put the next steps in order
Prepare for unfamiliar daily tasks: a place to stay, getting around, asking for help and organizing the questions that matter to you.
→Looking for work in the U.S.? Check the offer before the promise
A job title or income promise is not enough. Check which rules apply to your situation with the relevant authority, identify the real employer and ask for written pay and work conditions. Review official scam guidance before paying or sharing sensitive information.

Questions you may have
Does a job offer itself give permission to work?
Do not treat an offer as approval. Confirm the rules and authorization that apply to your own situation.
Does IMO guarantee a job or income?
No. This guide helps prepare checks and questions. An employer and the relevant authorities confirm the actual conditions.
