You're one of those people who believe in American dream?:)It's very common for us who live outside the USA to believe in it.Think about what you have now.Do you have a stable good job that other people don't have?Maybe it's not worth the risk?Think about your family,friends and what you can create here.Now we have global economy, you can fail in any part of the world and you can succeed in any part of the world too.

Jobs are really scarce here right now and many people are out of work. So many of our jobs are outsourced as it is to you people and there is very little work to be found here. Actually, since you aren't American, you probably stand a better chance of getting a job here than anyone that is a citizen. You should talk to your boss.

I know but it is true. I can't even laugh about it Cynthiann because it is so very maddening. If you only knew what our country does for foreign people that they would NEVER do for us. Heck she could get a loan and start a business at a ridiculously low interest rate over here. I was born and raised here and I couldn't get a loan for a business! oh don't even get me going on this one.

Since your current job is U.S based company, why don't you take a try to talk to your boss requesting for you to be assigned in the U.S branch of the company. There is no harm in trying, but if you want other job in U.S you need a working US visa.

I think that you should go online and check the requirements and see if you qualify

i also want to work there if given a chance..but it's ok for me to work at any country with high pay on jobs related to IT..
and as for you, you may look for direct employers..they usually shoulder all your expenses in going to U.S..others would look for agencies that has job vacancies of companies in U.S..but i don't know if there are agencies in india too..

i would say even though your ambition may be to work in america. but the current situation in usa is not that good. even several american citizens are unemployed and the unemployment rate in usa is at the highest. so it would be difficult to find a job now. i would recommend you to wait for the american economy to recover then you can try for a job there. and on a humorous note there are only two ways to go to america man one is through aeroplane and the other is through ship.lol

You should look it up online, you will more then likely need a work visa, there are a few countries that don't need them, Australia is one of them. But you will need to also prove when you come that you have enough money to survive here until you find a job.
But as I said check online. I am only going by what my friend had to do when she came here to Canada to work from Australia.
