Working in Detroit?
(OP)
Hi, I would like to live and work in the US, However it is difficult to get an immediate working VISA. I heard some stories where people had a student VISA and managed to work with it for some years. Is that possible?
It was also suggested to go with a temporary VISA until I find a job, and the company would arrange for my VISA. How possible is this?
Your help is much appreciated! Thank you

RE: Working in Detroit?
We have hired some foreign folk that got their Phd here on student visas, and then we get the H1B visa when we recruit them.
However, we are too busy laying off folks to bother with new H1B applications now. We just laid of one H1B who now has a few weeks to find a new job, willing to sponsor his H1B, or he gets shipped off back to China.
I'd be careful coming here without employment authorization to make a living in advance (preferably an actual job too or $ savings...) - getting hired and geting the H1B visa etc. can take a while.
Plus there doesn't appear to be a general shortage of engineers - more specific niches or even more often they can pay H1B folks less (by classifying them as a lower employee grade than they really are) and then treating them like indentured servants.

RE: Working in Detroit?
But our company is hesitant to hire engineers withour permanent visas for the simple reason that if we help someone get a green card, there's nothing stopping them from up and leaving once they get it. And we've had that happen. We lose a trained employee after we've went to the expense of sponsoring them.

From the study conducted by the U.S Bureau it seems that employment is going up again.

Something positive at last.
RE: Working in Detroit?
The questions were:
Are you legally authorized to work in the United States? ______________
Will you now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status (like H-1B, EAD, TN, L-1, E, etc.)? __________
I answered Yes and No.
That ended all other form of contact. Not sure how to take that but you might try to find a position with them as apparently they have staff to assist in such endeavors.

You mean, everybody skilled and/or educated has left the area (some may consider it an opportunity)?
