 but it looks like they might be a silver lining in the "who will replace him" in the post. | ||

There can be numerous issues with getting a visa. Like, it took Totalbiscuit years to be able to move to the US (where his wife and child lives) from the UK. | ||

American Employment Visa You'd have to get a work visa in order to work in the United States or be considered an illegal worker. We kinda frown upon those. He'd probably fall under section E3 (Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled Workers). Good luck getting the Department of Labor to certify a work visa request to "be a SC2 progamer." More specifically: FAQ The standards used in making labor certification determinations under the new system will be substantially the same as those used in arriving at a determination in the former system. The determination will continue to be based on: whether there are not sufficient United States workers who are able, willing, qualified and available; whether the employment of the foriegn worker will have an adverse effect on the wages and working conditions of United States workers similarly employed; and whether the employer has met the procedural requirements of the regulations. (emphasis my own)In other words, yeah. Right. | ||

Getting a (long term) US Visa is not that easy, there are many potential reasons why one would be denied one. and yet Stephano got one, hes been arrested before and that always gives you trouble gettin in to the US even for a holiday let alone to live. Me thinks money helps when it comes to Visa's..... if a company want you bad enough and have the money they can get you a visa, even if you have something on your record that would otherwise disqualify you, such as a drug bust. | ||
