Yep, American visas can be hard to get nowadays. They've made it more difficult nowadays. Good luck on it! The company who offered you the job should be able to help on that though. What do you do that takes you to exotic places six months out of the year? Texas does get a bit hot in the summer. Dry heat, not like here, we have muggy and hot.. don't know what's worse actually.

Houston, dry heat got to be kidding, humid and more humid.

I'm from Uist, Benbecula in particular.
Been living in Virginia now for 18 months, after 10 years in Prague - a killer on the accent front, I sound like the BBC now, until I've had a few.

In Edinburgh at the moment, about to move to Boston.
Although I was born here, I was brought up in Reading from the age of 1, so I have an English accent. Which confused the hell out of everyone in the US when I was travelling in my kilt a couple of years ago
