Is the visa good for two months or three? You must have a non-immigrant visa (3 months) in order to apply for a work permit.

2 months

Your tourist visa can be converted into a non immigrant B visa which will allow you to obtain a work permit or you can cross a border and obtain the B visa after you have the required documents. You can not work on a tourist visa or without a valid work permit. But it is normal to arrive with just a tourist visa.
