Well, you need to do more research. For a Malaysian, you can't just migrate to the U.S. like that.
You need to secure a job in the U.S. and get the company to apply for work visa for you. Once approved, you can go to the U.S. and work. But this is not migration because the work visa is only valid of 5 years.

QUOTE(ibmsege @ Jan 6 2013, 09:03 PM) working visa = H1 visa for 3 years and able to be renewed 1 time. So you can work for 6 years straight and then have to leave the country for 1 year then only can re-apply. yes, its really tough to get job in US from abroad. However it still possible for US company to sponcer a foreigner working visa + GC while the foreigner not in United States. I have several friends working in Malaysia for US company able to be moved to US by sponcering H1 then GC. They really good one with several filed patent. Yup, the key is you have to be really good at what you do! For a local fresh grad, well... |
