H1 Base
Does anyone have any experiences of using H1 Base in obtaining a job and an H-1B visa?
Thanks.

Re: H1 Base
Wouldn't you have to be qualified in US law?

Re: H1 Base
Just to clarify, I'll be qualifying as a solicitor very shortly and I do understand that I would need to re-qualify in the US if I wanted to practise law.
I'm not too keen on the idea of re-qualification so I'm looking into alternatives that are related to my legal background (as per the requirements of the H-1B visa) without me needing to re-qualify, such as legal finance.

No one is going to consider you for a job unless you're highly experienced in your field and even so considering that there's already a glut of lawyers here in the US....well..
Think about it.
How would you attempt to convince a US employer to go through the process, time, expense, to employ you when there's already qualified applicants on their doorstep desperate for a job?
