My word. What a sad bunch of little boys and girls. I feel quite sorry for you that you have not even a shred of ambition (or decency, manners as well as a funny bone in your bodies)

I'm sure taking the mick out of someone who joins a public forum set up for the sole purpose of advising people is the biggest kick you get in your sad little lives. You carry on playing and chatting to your cyber friends. I'm sure you have big balls and are very popular behind your computer - and brave.

You poor souls. Expect to be reported and I feel sorry for decent people on this forum who get this kind if childish, petty and quite frankly embarrassing behaviour.

I think it's time to grow up.

If you all have such a problem with immigration, stand at the borders, tell them your boring stories and they may all turn around and go back. And here's a tip - get a job!

This is some kind of sick pity party that I am not interested. I was always told if I didn't have anything nice to say, not to. But this charade was just too pathetic not to. Carry on flirting with each other you sad, pathetic morons. Or as Gordon Ramsay likes to put it - bunch of f*** wits. Goodbye. Shall see you in New York - probably writing an article how the fire service needed to lift you out of your little bedroom because you grew a 50 stone sorry sight of a human being sat behind his computer, pants down, and body covered in hidden sandwiches.

It happens. Did to me. To this day I'm not sure why, but while on a J-1 visa in Oregon I sent out some cv's to see if anyone would sponsor me for a H1B visa. One company in Idaho took the bait. It's long story, but 2.5 years after being offered a job, the employer had stuck with it (I'd been back in GB the whole time), paid all the visa fees and I had a green card in hand. Somewhere along the line they switched from applying for an H1B to permanent residency. This meant they had to advertise the job (already offered to me) to prove no citizen was available to do it. Amazingly, they managed to do this which is surprising as landscape architects (like me) are not exactly hard to come by. If the OP goes down a similar route, it probably helps to try and do this in a town where no US citizen wants to relocate to, so its easier to prove there's no one else to do the job. You can always move later. Also, my employer seemed to think that it was fate because I had visited the tiny town in the middle of nowhere where his wife was born.

Anyway, I guess you never know what might happen if you don't try.

Seriously, when Hannah knows what visa she is applying for, she might be better to post in the US Immigration forum. At the moment, it's too vague for anyone to offer specific advice.

Hidden = a mixture of jam, chocolate and crisps.

That, in fairness, still doesn't sound very hidden, but what do I know?

USCIS. We're all being deported.

Well, you all are. I'm a USC now, I get to stay

I was going to add 'emigrating to the US', but didn't want to inflame things.
