Re: Job in USA

I found your case really amazing JJ... one thing is to be nationalist, but in this times people have to be practical and hire the person that can do the job. Imagine if the american companies will hire only american citizens? most will habe to close ;-D

I think that's a great difference between USA and Europe. Here everybody is an immigrant... only the Indian Tribes are really "native american", and ironically they are living in their own reservations not in the cities...

Speaking of immigration to USA, I read today in the papers that there is new boom in immigration , a lot bigger than the great immigration wave of 1910. Now there are 35 million immigrants living here... twice and a half more than in the 1910s

I will look for some URLs about this in Google News...

Re: Job in USA

@GUS,

well, I can tell you from where I live that the economy is going crazy. That is in Silicon Valley, house prices go up every week and there is no shortage of jobs. And of course with the exception of that stupid Germann guy, nobody even thinks where you are coming from, even as a Citizen. In contrast to Germany where they want to exactly know your religion so that they can ripp you off with "Religion Tax" despite the fact that the churches are very wealthy. Hmmm, or ripping you off with "Radio TV Tax" what a joke and nobody complains.

Anyway, the true citizens are the indians and everybody else is an immigrant and "auslaender". A US passport doesn't make you a "citizen". I could go on but I better not. And of course we have some Germans working here too, like Mr. Rumsfeld, his aunts are in Bremen. Here goes the German influence again, not for the better in my opinion.
Maybe Stoiber & Co. are related to him

Cheers and Happy Hollidays

JJ

Re: Job in USA

Hi *,

Try to contact some of your friends in USA, and process ur H1B through known Consultant, or just contact RajKumar(he has given some site, he can help u).

Yes, if you do not have good credit history in USA, you need to pay lots of amount towards deposits... like if you want to rent an apartment, you need to put atleast 1 or 2 months deposit and 1 month advance, and for Electricity, Gas, or for any rentals you need to put/give deposit.. Of course everyone has to cross this situation.

How can you build your Credit History in USA...: Do not give ur SSN(Social Security Number) to anyone, unless it is required... many shops will offer credit cards and they say we give 5% or some percent discount if u buy some from their shops.. don't go for that, and don't give ur address or contact details anywhere, if u do that, u have to face lots of phone calls from marketing people. If u give ur SSN number to anyone they run ur credit report which hits ur credit history..

IT IS VERY BAD ON UR CREDIT HISTORY IF U GIVE UR SSN TO EVERYONE..

of course many people will do this mistake... but FYI only i am telling... To build ur credit history, take Secured Credit Card from banks(u need to deposit required credit amount as deposit in bank, that is ur credit limit), u need to pay ur credit card bills in-time... Hope mostly u need a car.. buy a car(end of month or July or August month end u can get very good offers from car dealers, so prefer to buy at month end) and take loan from DCU or some other banks.. initially u may have to pay atleast 11.8 % interest on ur loan amount.. Pay the installments as per their schedules... I would suggest u not to clear total amount in a year(OK), after 1 yr clear it fast.. it helps to improve ur credit rating... As i mentioned earlier, do not give ur SSN to anyone except ur bank, ur employer, or for apartment rental(if required) people, Mobile phone connection... Try to collect ur Credit rating from Germany (from Schufa.. or somewhere, it may help u) and also collect ur Stadtwerke letters, that u never paid late and always cleared the dues intime.. if u want the sample letter, just send an email @ vsrikanth9@yahoo.com , i can send u the format... even if u want more details or having particular questions, please send an email.. but don't ask about the consulting firms.. since here millions of consulting firms r there, don't know who is good or bad...!!!

U may find some H1B sponsors at www.h1bsponsors.com


best of luck,
Srikanth

Re: Job in USA

the tips were great, thanks for the contribution!
I still don't have a car, but I will probably wait until july/august as you sugested
Meanwhile I rented an apartment near a metro station so for now I'm not desperate to buy a car. Cars are really cheap in USA, but then you have to consider parking, insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc... that usually cost you more than the car! And you also have to consider the time spent in the traffic and taking out the snow before using it
At least the "benzin" is not expensive here: $2,30 pergallon (ca. 55 EuroCents per liter)
I know people that survived a long time without a car, they just used public transportation and rented a car sometimes
I'm living in north Virginia, near Washington DC and I really don't have anything to complain, maybe is not the SiliconValley but they are also many IT companies and high tech IT services. And more important here is a lot more easier to get a decent job/living than in my country
