A factory unlocked iPhone will work in the US.
2 :
If the iPhone is unlocked it will work in any country. Just be aware that the iPhone uses a lot of data for its core applications such as mail, safari, stocks, weather, itunes, app store etc. so ensure any mobile plan you get has a data package included.

You will need a work visa in order to work in the USA. Immigrants, even legal ones, have no guarantee of security to stay in the US. We have known many, many legal immigrants (spousal and work visa's) who were told they had to leave the US within 30 days and reapply to return. So don't think because you have a work visa, you are safe. No matter what country you come from, you are still going to have to jump through the same hoops as any other immigrant. For a work visa, you are going to need an advanced degree with at least 2 yrs work experience in same field. Your American employer will have to prove they advertised the job, and there were no Americans or legal permanent residents who were qualified for the position. Then, and only then, will your employer be able to apply for your work visa. It is very expensive and can take a yr to process. Donna

a) yes they can - if they find an employer willing to sponsor them for a work visa. b) if those EU citizens want to work, yes they will need a work visa b) same as for anybody else Your chances will depend mainly what you have to offer in regards to job skills, not which country you are from. If you want to work as an unskilled laborer your chances are very low, if you are a world famous rocket scientist your chances are pretty good... Keep in mind, your employer applies for the visa, not you. So you need to find a job first.

Pick a visa There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US: (1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas) (3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas) (4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship. (5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas) (6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas) (7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years? (8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation (9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you. The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) .. But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©

No, you need to have a work visa to work in the U.S. Citizens of the EU can enter the US without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program, but there are certain restrictions or conditions for using the program. You're limited to a stay of 90 days, cannot work, and you have no recourse if you're ordered deported. If you overstay, you'll need to apply for visas in the future--no more VWP. There are no particular "rights or restrictions" for EU citizens--rights and restrictions apply to everyone. The main one: you need to have the legal authority to work in the U.S. If you don't you're violating the terms of your visa and are deportable.

Yes, as long as you have US Temporary Workers Visa sponsored by US Employer. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1271.html

You have to be sponsored by a company. There are few jobs here, a major recession is about to take place.
2 :
you either need to get sponsored by a company to get a work visa or get sponsored for a work permit. otherwise, no... unless you can be sponsored for a permanent residency card.
3 :
What makes you think you are needed here in the US? There are plenty of US born candidates that have a MBA. Please stay where you are.
4 :
I'm not sure how you apply, but I've worked with quite a few people over the years who were resident aliens, here on visas, etc. So yeah, it's very possible.
