Originally posted by Timber Loftis: A colleague of mine works for a client of mine in France, and her work contract is up. She has explained that she cannot get anything EXCEPT contract work there because of these rules, and, accordingly she is seeking employment in the USA. She wants a job that is more than a year-to-year contract basis, but cannot get it in France. Oh, just FYI, she's an attorney.

Is that all jeez almost every job in my country is year to year contract work. It is hard to get anything but, even for citizens that is not the country but companies being cheap at not wanting to dish out employee benefits, so they pay a contractor more money but avoid benefits. As a Canadian you can't just go and work any job in the US unless there is a limited supply of workers. My field no problem easy to get a visa for work as in IT or engineering. You will unlikely get a job as a janitor in the US however if you are not a citizen. France probably has just as much opportunity but the rules vary slightly. Maybe there is no shortage of lawyers over there. Actually there is no shortage of them over here either.
