Why would you need physics.com if you were on the game?

Oh...oh...you said IN the game! 'Scuse me.

Physicist in a relationship with a Chemist. In other words, Carbon Dating.

This joke is a fissionable offense.

Perhaps you could consider starting a business using your skills. Perhaps as a crime prevention consultant? You'd need to show that you could employ a number of people over a period and write up a program and a business plan. I forget the type of visa, but it's called Treaty Investor and much faster to obtain.
Got money? You'll need a good lawyer.

E2...but would need hefty cash and it doesn't have a direct path to a greencard.

E2 yes, thats it. Senility rules here! :-)

Lots of folks live their lives out on the E2. Once you're here, I think it's easier to apply for the GC. The whole process is a nightmare and frankly needs some serious reform.

Isn't this a question tailor-made for Ian?

Anyway those all sound like govt. type jobs and getting a job with any sort of govt. agency as a foreigner, even as an LPR is very difficult and in many cases you are legally barred from it. This is assuming you could even become an LPR in the first place.

How so? Can you elaborate? Since there is no direct path to GC from E2, how does being in the USA on an E2 make it easier to apply for a GC?
