Hi all,

I am from Azerbaijan. Im having great trouble finding info/real experiences about moving to America, so perhaps you can help.

I plan to enter usa and to try find a job which will sponsor me for a H1 visa so I can stay and work for a year or two.

Has anyone any experiences with this?

* How difficult is it to convince a potential employer to sponsor you?
* How long would they have to wait before I could start work if they agreed to sponsor me?
* Is there anything I can do to speed the process up so that if an employer says yes, some of the wheels have already been put in motion and it seems like less of a hassle to them?
* Any success stories?
* Any horror stories?

BTW, I have a B.A degree in Applied Mathematics and would be looking for something in I.T and math and physics tutor.

Thanks all
