Well, I could do with some advice and was wondering if anyone here can help me?
I have pretty much been offered a job in the USA (Woodland Hills CA)
and they are trying to obtain a visa for me.
The type of visa they are going for is something called a HB1, but seeing as I really want this job I wanna be pro-active (I hate that that word) and do a lil research in case I am not eligable for this type of visa.
So what I really wanted to ask is, does anyone on this site have any idea on how I could LEGALLY work in the USA other than obtaining this type of visa? (ASAP-preferably around Novemeber time, but if it spilled into early 2006 that might also work)
Even if I had to come back to the United Kingdom for a few days every 90 days (for 24 hours to renew something), this would be something I would consider doing. PLaying Super Nintendo and watchign the latest films for 8 hours straight is nothing to me:)
Basically I would like to be in a position to say to the potential employers that I can in fact come over so any ideas?
It kinda sucks that there's so much red tape as I have alyways wanted to work full-time in the USA and I really like the company (which is rare cuz im a fussy bastard:P) and although I have been over there quite a lot in bits and bobs, I'm actually talking about a long term thing this time.
I am reading up on some visa stuff, but just wanted to know if any bright sparks here have some ideas or experience with this sort of thing?
They have their legal people are looking at this but just thought I would ask.
The uk's really starting to suck, what with chavs, terrorism and politics and I can't see it changing anytime soon. Plus most brits seem to be grumpy all the time, partly linked to politics and chavs.
Thanks
Jam
P.S.
No I'm not prepared to get married to some wench I don't love :)
**EDit**
Well I was informed that all the HB-1 visas are now all gone so the only other alternative is to get one called the 0-1 which is apparently the hardest type to obtain, so I'm not so confident anymore, but will see :(
