    Can I Get Working Permit with B2 Visa
    I have B2 visa and currently was going to states again in next month but recently found out about one American employer who wants to hire me with all paper work. So is there any possibility to get working permit while I'll be in states? Or I need to go back to Russia in a few months and wait for next April(it's a month when American embassy is considering about working visas) because it's temporary job in a hotel and I heard there is no way to get working visa for such a job to a person with finished high education.
    I would appreciate any advice
    Thank you.

    Are you asking if it's possible to adjust your status to a non-immigrant employment-based visa after entering on a B2 tourist visa? Generally yes, but you have the issue that your stay will probably end before your petition is processed. If you're talking H1B and time permits, you can consider premium processing. I don't much care to guess as to the circumstances or type of visa you're asking about, so if you need more information please share the relevant details.

    I'm sorry and yes I'm interested in H2B visa because this type of visa is for non-professionals.It would be perfect if I can adjust my status, work and then go back to Russia.
