Hi,
Sorry if this is not the right place for this, but I thought as there will be a lot of engineers on here who may well have done what I am trying it could be a good place to get real world advice. I will understand though if this post gets deleted
I am a British citizen currently living and working in the UK. I am looking to make a move to the USA for a few years. My company does not have an office in the US, however our distributor has agreed to employ me if I can obtain a VISA.
Our distributor does not have experience hiring people from overseas and has asked me to do the initial donkey work. From what I can see there are plenty of methods for 'inter company transfers' which I wouldn't qualify for.
Does anybody have experience of anything similar or know the immigration process?
So far from what I can figure it is a case of completing the Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, Form I-140, and then submitting this and waiting for the VISA 'lottery'.
I am married and my wife would need to come over too
thanks
