      You need a valid work permit to apply for jobs in US. Since you are a Singapore Citizen unless you are able to get a work VISA in US, you are not eligible

      OK, got it. But the same things apply even if you are from Nepal. You need a valid work permit (working VISA) to apply for security guard jobs in the US.

    Sorry I don’t have working visa even I never come U.S. So how I apply for working visa over there..? Now I’m in Nepal..? It that possible to get working visa over there..?

      A company need to sponsor you a VISA. This is often possible only when you have a sought after skill which is not readily available in the US (meaning IT field, Medical Doctor, Nurse etc). Otherwise you need to have a close relative in the US.
