No Title In my experience, recruiters in the San Jose area are generally knowledgeable about H1/EAD issues. Maybe the issue is the lack of jobs in the web field right now. Looking in some other field may be advisable. VB + SQL should find some job in big companies ... Good luck!

No Title Compare 80K with the number of H1 visas annually. As far as I know around 80K visas have been approved this fiscal year, in the middle of the biggest ?ecession in the past 10 years. Good luck!

No Title president@ieee.org Letters will be more effective from current IEEE members. I suggest you get yourselves familiar with the IEEE position on H1 visa. Also you should not emphasize too much how miserable *you* are feeling, this institution is serious about protecting american workers...
