Los Angeles grocery work permit 2026 for visitors?
The visa category is what matters here, not a grocery-specific permit. A B-2 doesn't allow paid shifts, and the tourist window can't be stretched by working. Talk to an immigration attorney before booking anything.
Spot on about the category being the whole game. Worth adding: a few months of paid shifts on a B-2 reads as unauthorized work even if it's cash under the table, and that can follow you to future visa applications.
Cash shifts still show on your I-94 record.
i94 logs entries not cash shifts, but the bank deposit does
Yep, and a J-1 needs a sponsor before u even land.
Second this, attorney's cheaper than a denied entry.
foodland won't sponsor u, that's the snag
Right, no grocery chain sponsors a J-1.
How to meet people in Los Angeles in 2026
the wednesday night run club out of a store on Ocean Park in santa monica is where i actually met people, same faces every week
Second this, 7pm sharp or you get dropped
Sundays too, or just Wednesdays?
Yep, they roll out right at 7 and the group splits into two paces, so pick the slower one your first time. Stragglers catch up at the bar after, that's where it actually turns into friendships.
Thursday climbing at Cliffs of Id, same crowd weekly.
Bouldering there is where it clicks, not top rope, since you end up resting and chatting between attempts. Tuesday nights tend to be quieter if the weekend crush gets old. Do they still run the beginner clinic at 6?
lincoln blvd, they moved to the lot behind the co-op
