Isak,
I'm not in the US on a visa, I am an American citizen, so others on this
forum may have better advice than me. But I did want to give you a heads
up. Your timing for wanting to obtain an H1-B visa to work in the US is not
good. The economy in the US took a "nosedive" the last quarter of 2000, and
has not recovered yet. Consequently, many US citizens are out of work and
seeking new positions. The H1-B visa program was designed to help US
company's bring in skilled workers to fill jobs where no Americans were
available to fill them. Since the jobless rate is now higher in the US,
many companies are no longer able to justify the cost, much less provide the
immigration office with the evidence needed to demonstrate that there are no
US citizens available for the job. Add to that the incident that occurred
at the World Trade Center in NY last week, and you can see that finding a
high tech job in the US will be very difficult compared to what is was at
this time last year.
