Hi,

I just arrived in Boston 2 months ago, leaving France to experience life in another country. You can follow my adventures at http://tripteam.free.fr. Sorry, it is in french only, if demand I may begin an english version.

See you soon

Louis

Has it been complicated to get a visa to the US?

All the best,

Julien

Profile updated;)

About the visa, I've got a J-1 visa for 6 months, and my company is getting me a 3 years H-1b visa. So no, it is not difficult if a company is sponsoring you. The procedures and the amount of forms to fill in is quite impressive but it is easy.
Otherwise, when you are not sponsored, it is clear that US Immigration services will be far more picky about who you are, what you want to do on US soil etc. I would say that I don't think it is possible to get a work visa without being sponsored by a US company.
