    A lot of companies in the US have experience in hiring foreigners. It is illegal for a foregner to work in the US too, i.e., unless they have a permit. Most companies in India have never hired a foreigner and therefore would state the illegal part first before realizing that there is a permit process that can make it legal.

      Is it true that it is against the law for an American to be employed by a company in India (meaning, he moves there and tries to get a job)? Is this true for just Americans, or all foreigners? ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 "You won't like me when I'm angry..." - Dr. Bruce Banner Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

            Think of the term "American" as the short version of "United States of American". :-) But I know what you're saying, most Americans consider "America" synonymous with "USA". Again, it comes from the word "America" being part of the country name. But I think we all know that technically speaking, America is one big continent. Regards, Alvaro

                Yeah, but it's a lot closer to the truth. :-D Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented? Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their worldline when they have no problem doing it themselves every day? John Titor.

The obvious question is why any American would want to do that.
