I moved to Sweden from Iran with my family in 2014, went to school here, but we were rejected residency permit twice, making us deportees on paper.

I have no work permit here either, so I live pay-check to pay-check on whatever I can get through freelancing as a musician/composer and multimedia artist.

My plan is to move to the US where I can at least work and take things from there. I have a bunch of relatives in LA/southern California, making LA my target destination.

I've never been to the states. What can I expect? Is this a reasonable move? How's the job market for an undergraduate? Can I manage to line up a job before I move?
