    Hello Zahra, 
    In the United States, engineers are licensed at the state level. While the requirements are very similar across the country, you will need to check with the state where you are living for the specific licensure requirements. You can find general information about engineering licensure here: https://ncees.org/licensure/. Your visa status will determine your ability to work in the United States, so you will need to consult someone with expertise in immigration law. In general, a good way to find out about job opportunities is to join a professional organization like the Society of Women Engineers or the American Society of Civil Engineers. That will help you to meet people and learn about employers and opportunities in your field. Best wishes!
