I guess the assumption here is that you want an immigration sponsor...unless you're looking for a venture capatialist to sponsor your development (unlikely to happen)?\n\nYou have to locate a company that is willing to hire you and deal with the visa issues.  These issues will vary from country to country, and the company's willingness to handle them will depend on several factors, foremost being how good you are (and you'll have to prove it).

I suggest you try mailing information about the work you do to U.S. and Canadian contractors.  There are websites galore on the internet for almost every contractor there is in the U.S.  Yahoo Answers isn't a very good place to be asking someone to get you work because they don't know you.\n\nCheck out http://www.builderspace.com.  This website will give you links to some of the major contractors in U.S. and you can even choose the speciality (i.e. mechanical vs. carpentry).

Step 1) you must find a job with a company who will 'sponsor' an H1B visa for you\nStep 2) your new employer (sponsor company) then files your H1B application\nStep 3) your visa application is approved by the US Immigration Bureau\nStep 4) you can start work for your new employer (H1B sponsor company) in the USA.

Bear in mind that the basis for an H1B is that you are highly skilled, not necessarily highly schooled. \n\nYou will need to find a reputable company that is interested enough in your qualifications that they will petition for you to come to the US to work for them.  You cannot apply for an H1B visa on your own.\n\nSee the following USCIS site for further information:\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/h1b.htm#apply

You can get that form Home Office, UK Visa, and several immigration law firms web sites.  It could be a tricky business, so I advise you to hire a lawyer.  \nGood luck.

Well it depends on you situation.. Where you currently reside and your educational / family background.\nFor example you can be a student, apply to university in the States, apply for a job, apply for a work permit (H1-B) VISA and maybe your employer can sponsor you for a green card. Other possibilities include getting sponsored by a family member who already has a green card, or through politicaly asylum (if you are a refugee of your country for example), or if you marry a U.S. citizen. \nI can't go into much more detail not knowing your particular situation but a great site is http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/greencard/greencardFULL.html \nand has information for various ways for obtaining the green card.

In general, visas are more readily granted for people in fields that are not already over-crowded with Americans.  Since so many software engineers are already unemployed in America (I live near Silicon Valley and am currently unemployed. I see who is in the unemployment office looking panic-stricken.), I doubt this is a good time to pursue your ambition.  Try developing something on the internet where you are, and then making contact with your best customers or your business associates.  If they believe you have a unique skill, they will sponsor you.

Sure you can obtain jobs in the United States, not only as a web designer. Not much criteria needed as long as you have the tools or background that will qualify you to be on board. \n\nAll you need is look for companies that are willing to sponsor you're working permit, i.e., H1-B visa. Usually private companies sponsor international applicants. Companies like Nokia, Sprint-Nextel, Intel, IBM, LCC, etc. are examples of companies that would be able to provide sponsorship. \n\nHowever, there are companies that doesn't provide sponsorships. These companies (private companies) whose nature of business is having contracts with the U.S. federal government, mostly in the Washington, DC area. Generally, they require U.S. citizenship and security clearance to apply. Companies that perform government contracting or consulting are Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, etc.\n\nIf you're still interested in learning the requirements or papers that you might want to consider the following websites:\n\nDepartment of Homeland Security: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/\n\nDepartment of State:\nhttp://www.state.gov/\n\nDepartment of Labor:\nhttp://www.dol.gov/\n\nMore information on obtaining a working visa:\nhttp://usimmigration.visapro.com/work-vi...\n\nGood Luck.

Along with sources like craigslist.com you may want to check out core77.com It is a great web community for designers and has a place to post your portfolio. If you work at home you must be diligent and go after the work. A website will not guarantee you work, only you can do that. Pound the pavement and look for opportunities. Setting up a network is the best suggestion I have. A lot of people (not all) looking for work to be done on those bidding sites are looking for the cheapest work and could care less about the quality. You will end up making a lot less and have even less to show for it in your portfolio.\ngood luck,\nMax-\nhttp://www.impactda.com

If you have an approved I-797 form, you can make an appointment for visa interview at the US Embassy to apply for your H1-B visa.  Here is the embassy's page which explains the application process:\nhttp://dubai.usconsulate.gov/dubai/gvi.html

Go to CEDIA 's website, I think it is CEDIA.Org, they might have some help for you.  Second, go to your local builders, electricians, interior designers, architects, basically people in the building trades who deal with customers everyday that need your services.  Let them know you are available.  Lastly, join a local service organization, such as a home builders association.  That way you will network with others that can give you leads.  Do good honest work, charge a fair price, and your business will grow.

Sorry, I don't know of any companies looking to sponsor someone. \n\nThe best thing for you to do would be to contact The Department of Immigration and ask them what your options are.\n\nTheir website is http://www.immi.gov.au/index.htm\n\nOther sites you might want to look at are:\n\nhttp://www.migrationexpert.com/content/Skilled_Visa_Australia.asp\n\nhttp://www.austembjak.or.id/\n\nhttp://www.australianaustralia.com/page/Work_permits_457/307\n\nGood luck :)

I agree with #1... go to \n\nhttp://www.hotjobs.com\n\nhttp://www.monster.com\n\nand search for jobs there.  Keep in mind that if you get one of the jobs you'll be an "H1 slave" and probably be paid less than some of your peers.  \n\nI also suggest you try the Immigration Diversity Lottery run by the US government.  The 2007 lottery has begun so get your application in soon.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/residency/divvisa.htm
