Your bio says that you are in the US; if you're here illegally you'll need to find a way to get out of the US without being caught, then apply for normal entry. If you are here on a legitimate visa - student or tourist, perhaps, you may have other options - contact the immigration officials for info. You can also find a lot of helpful information here[^].

I'd recommend NOT to call the immigration officials until outside the USA. It is a strict condition of a tourist visa that you are not permitted to change to a working visa, or even ask about it, while in the US. I've been through US immigration as a tourist and for business (working for a UK company with a reseller in the states) and the officials are the most serious and unhumerous people I've ever met. I remember a line from a film that went "We at the FBI do not believe we have a sense of humour" and that can be applied to immigration officers too. --Colin Mackay--

            The whole US Immigration seems a bit absurd to me. I was asked on a previous visit by an immigration officer if I was involved with the German Nazi party between the years 1933 and 1945. And I really mean an immigration officer asked me the question, not just ticking the box on the I-94 visa waiver form. Look at my bio to see how absurd that question is. The reason I said this was that I remember reading somewhere that it was strictly forbidden to change from a tourist visa to anything else and to ask about it was to invite suspicion about your true intentions. As I understand it the US Immigration can deport or detain someone if they believe that they are entering or have entered the US under false pretences. --Colin Mackay--

The form also contains yes/no questions whether you're a terrorist, drug dealer, convict, etc. :) -- Sancte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium.

                  That's great - makes things much less complicated! Check out the website then, and start contacting employers in the US. The most common way for non-US citizens to come to work here is through the H1-B visa, and the numcer of such visas is limited. There may be other alternatives that I'm not aware of, though, and the information on the Internet is probably the best source available. Good luck!:) "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.

If a visitor to our country becomes enamoured of it, why should one not inquire about becoming a citizen or a legal resident? If this is really going on it should be stopped immediately! Our country was built by immigrants who wanted to make a better life for themselves and their families; it's sheer lunacy to turn away or intimidate people who make perfectly legitimate requests for information!

                          Yo, I thought H1-B is for Canadian only and it's a result of NAFTA? For foreign nationals from elsewhere (besides Canada/Mexico), ... is it L-1 Visa? Not sure. norm

                            There are so many jobless american software engineers who are looking for jobs in USA and can't find it. Why would any company want to go through the complex process of bringing someone from outside USA ??? You better look somewhere else man.

                                    Well, that sounds interesting for sure. But I doubt that it is unique. It doesn't sound any more involved than the GPS systems I've worked on. Anyway, I wish you all the best. :)
