Is it easy to find illegal jobs in Los Angeles?

It is difficult to find illegal jobs in Los Angeles. Chinese people working and living in Los Angeles generally have legal status. Employment agencies generally require legal status when introducing workers. But don't worry, you can still find a job, sometimes for jobs in other states. The agency and your boss will tell you whether you need to have an identity card.

If it is difficult to find a job in Los Angeles, you can try New York and Chicago. Especially in New York, many Chinese have no legal status, so there is no delay in finding a job.

Most Chinese working in the United States work for Chinese bosses. Chinese bosses are not strict about identity requirements. Unless local inspections are strict, the bosses will require workers to have legal status.

It is recommended that migrant workers in the United States find a lawyer to apply for status. This way, it is safer and more secure to work, and the cost is not too high. Lawyers in Los Angeles generally charge US$4,000-5,000, and lawyers in New York generally charge US$6,000-7,000. It is equivalent to 2-4 months' salary. With a legal work status, you can work legally for at least 4-5 years and even have the opportunity to apply for a green card.
