 The reason being that before an H-1 can be issued one has to get 
 a labor certification approved by the Dept. of Labor.
 In order to obtain the latter, if you want the H-1B visa, the 
 employer needs to guarantee a minimum annual salary of US$35,000 or more.

Did you consider Bombay. Actually with the new rules regarding H1, you will not
be refused an H1 visa. I know a lot of people who have got their multiple H1
visa from consulates in India without being asked a single question. All you
need is your H1 approval notice and a letter from your employer
addressed to the
embassy you are going to mentioning the fact that you are working for them in
such-and-such position with a such-and-such salary. 

This will not only save you time, but also money.

DOL's labor market information pilot program which is supposed to identify
labor shortages and surpluses was supposed to come out some time in September.
However, to the best of my knowledge there was nothing in the Federal Register
in the last three months relating to this program. Does anyone out there know
the status of this program ? I tried calling the DOL but nobody at Employment
Training Administration seems to know who's responsible. 
	The program is supposed to be used with IMMACT '90 to waive the 
labor certification process for occupations having a shortage of people.

  (no more work permits!). Easy huh? no attitudes, because here the females
  tend to think the same way (but not as much as in USA)

Hi!

Sorry if all this is a FAQ but...
I was in the US in July on a 5 year multiple entry tourist visa (B1?).
(I'm an Australian passport holder).

Now I want to return to get married/live/work.
What are my options?

From what I can gather, my wife-to-be or my prospective employer could
'sponsor' me to get a green card. 

Which is quicker and more likely?

My main interest is getting back over there to be with her and being 
able to work. Are there temporary work visas for those applying 
for permanent residency? How easy are they to get?

I called the US Consulate in Sydney and they were rather rude and
extremely unhelpful. I guess they don't have to be, they're the US
government. :)

I've seen a mention of the book "Immigration Procedures" but it is a few
hundred dollars! I haven't checked libraries here.

Can someone help me make sense of my options?

What if I just come back over on my tourist visa, get married and said
"hah! I'm not leaving.." and apply over there for a change of status?

What if I came over on my tourist visa once I've applied (here) for
residency? The INS here seemed to indicate the whole thing takes
months.

I've got no problems with waiting for paperwork to catch up, but I just
want to get over there, get married and start working.
Does this sound extremely naive?

Is it more likely to be quicker by me applying here, my wife-2b applying
there for me, or me going over there on my tourist visa and applying in
person over there?

I can stay up to 6 months on my tourist visa, but not work. How long do
I have to be out of the country to re-enter for another 6 months,
assuming the worst (can't work etc...)?

The whole procedure seems draconian, but I understand the need to
regulate the flow of people into a country.

I also want to avoid pissing them off (the INS)... but still get over
ASAP.

Help via email or post appreciated, or even pointers to
books/FAQ/whatever.

Thanks-in-advance,

no i did not say that this would escalate into a world war.
by international war i meant there is a chance (i think strong)
that albania, greece, bulgaria, and possibly even turkey might 
get involved if the fighting spills over into kosovo and 
macedonia.
kosovo is being completely repressed by the serbian government.
90% ethnic albanian but they are kept out of any political office
and all kosovans (sp?) were kicked out of the police force too.
and in macedonia the situation is even worse.
macedonia declared it's independence and the only reason the EC 
didn't accept it was that Greece claimed that only the part of Greece
named Macedonia could have that name. Also,  Greece, Bulgaria, and 
Albania all want parts of Macedonia, so if serbia started a civil 
war there, other countries might get involved to grab a share.

this is why i thought there might be an international war.

and ps.
i think the serbians are greedy war mongering land hungry fuckheads too.
the muslim bosnians are the only ones being hindered by the un weapons 
sactions on the former yugoslavia.

>PEROT '96 (If we make it that long)

You seem to have missed the whole point of the Perot candidacy.

As you may recall, I once supported Perot, because I share a lot of his
beliefs.

Paramount among them is that WE MUST CHANGE THINGS in this country.  He
didn't want to become a partisan object of politics, which you have
turned him into by proclaiming "PEROT '96".

He wanted to change the way things happen in this country.  And he still
does.  And you should, too.

It is pitiful and disgraceful to all that Perot stood for for you to be
speaking like this.

Perot lost.  Get a grip on that.  Then think about what YOU can do to
help effect change in this country.

Will you get anything changed by decrying how awful Bill Clinton is?

Certainly not.  The only way to change things is to work WITH Bill Clinton
instead of against him, as Perot ably pointed out.  We will soon have
a man in the White House who will be receptive to new ideas.  Please don't
squander that opportunity with your disappointment that Perot did not win.

Perot may well run in 96, and he may well be the right choice.

But to write off Clinton from the very start is counter-productive to all
of Perot's own aims, and what should be your own aims.

You should be working with us to ensure that the Internet has a direct link
to the Clinton administration, not using the Internet to mourn for your lost
candidate.

You should be ashamed.  And you have no right to associate yourself with
Perot until you understand what he stood for.

I'll go with the latter.  You seriously think that such an event could escalate  
into a world war (on a side note, it already *is* an international war--there  
are two different countries fighting each other)?!?!?!?!

World War I was a bizarre exception, resulting from series of treaties with  
everyone, so the argument "It happened before because of Serbia" is really  
bunk.  

No country in the world today has reason to intervene.  The UN is virtually  
powerless in this situation until the big five come to a decision--not bloody  
likely.  So the odds of the worlds major powers entering are pretty slim.   
There is simply no huge moral reason for getting involved (ie drugs/oil/power  
shift), so it won't happen.


The UN negotiations are about as much of a committment as anyone will be  
willing to offer for a long time.

***** personal mode on *****

I do, however, think that Serbia should be squashed like the little insect that  
it is.  Their leaders have thirsted for power/land, and have done so under the  
pretense of "ethical harmony"--that's bullshit.  Serbia got screwed out of a  
navy (but got the army) when Yugoslavia broke up, so they immediately attacked  
Croatia (the people with the navy).  

I admire all those who have stood up against Serbia and its conquests--they are  
clearly outclassed and outgunned, but have fought the righteous fight.  I think  
that the UN should supply anti-Serbian forces with weapons and training, or  
else supply an army to defeat Serbia (much as was done against Saddam  
Hussein)--to not do so would prove the UN the puppet of the United States that  
it is.

accodring to the latest figures on CNN, the muslims have taken
almost 70% of the land they say they have claims too. which is not sur
surprising, considering the number of yugoslavian refugees that
places like Germany have taken in in the last year.
