May be worth contact with http://www.eeoc.gov/. Know someone who used them (not on the particular matter under question) and they were magic. I think you can claim they are discriminating against you because of your national origin. Basically, the EEOC hit the employer with their big stick, then provided all the ammunition so the employee could bring a civil damages case without paying a fortune for a lawyer since all the leg work was already done.

You're a mine of useful information!
But how much more Karma do I need to spread before I can 'do' you again - I can't even remember the last occasion!

The law does permit employers to prefer US citizens, permanent residents and other people in a "protected status" (mainly obscure categories that pander to the Mexican lobby). In other words, if you are on a K3, K1, whatever, then an employer is permitted to discriminate based on nothing else but your visa status.
They may not, however, discriminate based on national origin -- period. So you can't refuse to hire someone because they are not US born, for example. But you can refuse to hire someone because they are a K3 visa holder.
My visa status was never an issue in finding a job. Why would it be? I never told anyone about it.

plus they can figure out your a foreigner by the education and experience, and if you had a greencard, you'd probably mention it...
