[anarchy]

Hi

I have always wanted to work in America and now have the opportunity to work there. Im not sure what sort of visa I need and the employer isnt sure what they will need to do either for regards to intern or entry level position.

Im thinking I need to H-1B visa and I-9

Any help appreciated

H1B visas are for people with skills which are in short supply in the US to work in specialist occupations. What kind of position have you been offered? Applicants need either a university degree or 12 years experience in order to qualify. See here. It is now very hard to get an H1B visa, particularly due to the very large number of IT specialists from all over the world who apply each year.

I suggest you post in the following forum. Most regular users there have had plenty of experience with US immigration issues. Good luck.

By the way, I have read that H1B visas for 2007 are already gone, and the only ones left are for people US postgraduate degrees or those seeking work in universities (which are exempt from the cap).
