The job I'm on now (not LMC) at one point had 2 foreign nationals (out of about 11 developers). But lot of companies in the US like to keep foreigners under a kind of indentured servitude while they (glatially) get your Green Card paperwork in order. One of my coworkers was working here 10 years before he finally got his. During that time, if you don't do what they want you to, they theoreticaly can lay you off and inform the INS that you don't have a job (and thus must be deported). Its not a situation I'd reccomend. LMC is probably one of the few development companies that can't risk possible lawsuits by operating that way. -- T.E.D. http://www.telepath.com/~dennison/Ted/TED.html Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
