    Depends upon the type of job. Most of the time its a lot easier if you have a company that is sponsoring you, they take care of a lot of the paperwork and hassle. I'm not sure currently if a job is required though.

    I looked into this last year and found it most confusing, it seemed to me that to get a visa u had to have a job, and to get a job it was almost a certainty u had to already have the visa, a catch 22, I have now turned my attention to Canada, that seems much more interested in hiring skilled immigrants than the US

    I dont know why they make it so hard to come over legally. Good Luck though.

    Is the UK job market tough? Im just curious why you would want to come over.

    Hopefully you get a job in Hawaii...its warm there...and beautiful...

    If you ever stop in Chicago, we have good food, very unhealthy, but good.
