Completed PhD in astronomy in the UK and applied for a job with people in my field all over the world. Smithsonian Observatory hired me and sponsored me for H1-B. Twenty four years later I've had a Green Card and I'm now a US citizen.

Husband with PhD and many years' experience in medical research, which led to him being approached by a group here.

My OH applied for jobs from the UK. Found a company willing to hire him and go through the paperwork and costs to employ a non US citizen. They ended up waiting 3 years before he got the visa. We have been here a year and they have now agreed to sponsor us for GC. I am on a H4 and I enjoyed it to begin with but now it is starting to get on my nerves. I miss earning my own money and spending time with grown ups. Am now getting involved with volunteering at kids school. (My kids are 5 and 7)

specialised in a 'niche' field covering equipment compliance and conformity to european requirements. Was headhunted by a company over here who I had dealings with 15 years ago when they were first starting up. They remembered me 6 years ago when they were looking to expand
