I think being in the country and having obtained your own green card or other
kind of work visa would help alot. The immigration laws in this country are
as confusing to citizens as it is to people outside (maybe more) and is
probably not waters h.r. people want to wade if they can find equally
qualified candidates locally (actually that might be a law?). So I think
seeing the foreign address and lack of visa can almost immediately put you in
the no file, even if you are the perfect candidate. When there are several
100 people applying for each position, employers can afford to be picky.

I once hired a summer intern from England-- his professor was best friend's
with a staff member. And the kid was a great intern. But getting him here and
all the paperwork done was such a headache and expensive - we had to consult
a lawyer to see if we were doing it right-  that a candidate would have to be
able to make trash turn into money for me to seriously consider delving into
those waters again.

But on the same account, I think it's the same thing for people here looking
to move to other cities.
