Can an EU minor work in US?
<p>I come from EU. My question is: can I legally travel to US and work there even if I am a minor? If yes, what are the requirements and what are the steps I need to take?</p>

<p>Regulations pertaining to employment for people without permanent resident status can be found <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/working-us" rel="nofollow">here</a>. A minor can travel to the US, but may require a <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/visit-united-states/visit-us" rel="nofollow">visa</a>: EU nationals are eligible for the <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/visit/visa-waiver-program.html" rel="nofollow">visa waiver program</a>, but that precludes for-credit study or employment, and if you're been in certain countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, or Yemen) since March 1, 2011 then you're not eligible.</p>

<p>Here is a situation where I think it is impossible: you get a visitor's visa to stay a month as a tourist, and pick up a few hours working at a local grocery store. It is however possible for an prospective employer to <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/employment/temporary.html#overview" rel="nofollow">petition</a> (in advance) for you to be a temporary worker.</p>
