"You have skills that are in short supply, e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. Recruitment agents will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is often futile, and US employers have no idea what many foreign qualifications mean, so it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent. You need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your employer will be your sponsor at a cost to them of $5k and up. They may also have to prove to the Dept of Labor there is no American to do the job if the position is to be permanent."

Why do you say that? Because the projects in a smaller city are less interesting? Or the clients are yokels?

"Who is Eligible for Employment Based Immigration?
There are five categories of employment based immigration:First Preference (EB-1 priority workers): aliens with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and certain multinational executives and managers.
Second Preference (EB-2 workers with advanced degrees or exceptional ability): aliens who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or their equivalent and aliens who because of their exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business will substantially benefit the national economy, cultural, or educational interests or welfare of the United States.
Third Preference (EB-3 professionals, skilled workers, and other workers): aliens with at least two years of experience as skilled workers, professionals with a baccalaureate degree, and others with less than two years experience, such as an unskilled worker who can perform labor for which qualified workers are not available in the United States.
Fourth Preference (EB-4 special workers such as those in a religious occupation or vocation): aliens who, for at least two years before applying for admission to the United States, have been a member of a religious denomination that has a non-profit religious organization in the United States, and who will be working in a religious vocation or occupation at the request of the religious organization.
Fifth Preference (EB-5 Employment Creation) If you would like to be granted immigrant status in the United States for the purpose of engaging in a new commercial enterprise, please see How Do I Become an Immigrant Through an Investment?."

It's the same to work in this country but a little bit cheaper. We are trying to get our aussie video guy who worked with us for two years back into the country and it's a royal pain in the arse.
Even though for the money he got paid there really is no-one else we could get.

I suggest para - you go out and rape a few men, sit on a roof in protest for being made to run away from police and ask them to send up burgers and tobaco. With any luck, you'll be housed for free and will be able to stay indefinitely after playing a game of scrable with an immigration officer to prove your understanding of britishness.
It's all quite simple really, I dont know what the fuss is about.

A KFC and a bottle of pepsi has to be the shitest demand ever. People just have no ambition anymore. What happened to demanding helicopters and the like?

I've now given up on finding a job over there, seems like a lost cause. I'm going to quit my job in September/October and head over to live with her for 90 days. At least that way I don't have to think about design work until 2007.
That also means that when I return home (or if - circumstances might change) I'll have no job, no money and nowhere to live (except with my parents or a friend).
Even with all the negatives I see this as my number one option and it's looking pretty damn attractive. Am I mental?
- kelpie0
No.
good luck to you.

we got something in common.
except the gf though.

A 90 day holiday? Are you mental? Are you fuck!
- 5timuli0
Well if that's a big fat thumbs up then unemployment beckons in 3 months :D
