My boyfriend and I are thinking of moving to the Key Largo (possibley Miami) area next summer, for a year or so, he has had offers for Scuba instructor jobs but I don't know if work is available for me. I understand from threads that you need to make sure you can get a Visa - if I had a job when I applied would that help?

Does anyone know of any agencies I could use or what the liklihood of getting freelance work is?

Plus do you reckon a car i essential over there?

Pretty much any advice you can give me will be great! Ta.

Never been to Florida but have seen over a dozen states, and in just about all of them if you are without a car you are a ship out of water.

I am pretty sure as you are not married you will have to have you're own visa to stay here.
To get a visa you will need an employer who is willing to sponsor you for a job.
Agencies can help, but you did not say what type of work you are looking for.

OP's not looking for graphic design then?

Thanks for the reply, the kind of work i'll be looking for is: Graphic/ Web Design and/or any Sailing opportunities as crew.
