I've been thinking about my way into the US and after a lot of reading, I have reached the conclusion that I can't get in on an H1B visa. It isn't going to happen, pure & simple.
I got this from the US Embassy, London website,
"Skilled Workers, Professionals & Other Workers
Employment Based Third Preference
The employment based third preference category is divided into:
Professionals: defined as a member of the professions who holds a baccalaureate degree. Members of the professions include, but are not limited to architects, engineers, lawyers, physicians, surgeons, and teachers in elementary or secondary schools, colleges, academies, or seminaries. It also includes any occupation for which a U.S. baccalaureate degree (or foreign equivalent) is the minimum requirement for entry into the occupation.
Skilled workers: defined as a person, who at the time of petitioning, is capable of performing skilled labor, requiring at least 2 years training or experience, not of a temporary or seasonal nature, and for which there are no qualified workers available in the United States. Relevant post-secondary education may be considered as training for the purposes of this provision.
Other Workers: defined as a person who is to perform unskilled labor, requiring less than two years training, not of a temporary or seasonal nature, for which qualified workers are not available in the United States"
I may be able to get in this way, I've downloaded the form I need file with USCIS and am aware that it may not be me who files it.
I've not done too much towards emigration of late (lazy I know), I've been on Facebook catching up with all of my friends and doing other stuff as well.
