    There isn't a work visa for a carpenter, sorry. Your best option is to try your luck with the Diversity Visa lottery.

    Not sure which visa you are refering to? If you mean the visa waiver program for 90 days, you cannot work on that.

    Sorry man but there is no visa for any skilled trades like carpenters, plumbers, etc. I was trying to get one last year as a way of working in the US and seeing my girlfriend who is a US citizen but no luck. The only visa that is really open to you is the holiday one but you cant work on that. Try your luck with the diversity lottery maybe?
