Hi there,

I am a UK citizen, currently in the US under the vwp. I'm here visiting my boyfriend who I met online in Sept 2007, he's a US citizen.

I'm wanting to take some work over here asap, preferably this year, we intend on marrying eventually, but want to spend more time together first. I'm confused as to how I can go about this.

The H2B quota is already full for this year and next, I was wondering if i'm able to apply as an EB-3 immigrant if I can find an employer willing to co-operate?

Can someone please help me find a solution, it's costing a fortune travelling back and forward, and we just want to be with each other.

Thanks
Jeni
 
Do you have any professional or unique skills? If not then gaining any employment will be difficult. EB-3 has a two year wait. And you must have a PERM application processed from Dept. of Labor (DOL) - that on its own takes about two - four months.

If you are seeing other people work in unskilled types of work that are from different countries, they usually are either working under the table or they got their green card through other circumstances (relative, marriage etc.)

There is a website called britshexpats.com or something like that. You might want to check it out.

Even with a degree or a skill it's a long wait. The H-1B visas were all used up last week so that's out of the question short term.
