    Your only 3 chances are

    1 Get a company to sponsor you, unlikely in the present economic climate.

    2 Gain a green card through the lottery system, not sure Australia is high on the allocation list for those.

    3 Marry a US citizen and undergo a change of status, just been through this on myself and it took about a year to complete.

    If you have work there mate might be best to stay for the meantime.

    Lived in Victoria when i was a kid and went to Melbourne for a visit on 05, not sure why you want to come here:biggrin_2556:

    That's the American policy for Cubans who flee from Cuba. If a Cuban refugee makes it to the shore and actually touches ("dry foot") dry beach...they will be allowed to live in the US.....If they are still in the water ("wet foot") when ICE is there to "greet" them.....they are sent back to Cuba....

    In your case, I'm sure you had to jump through some hoops to get here.....
    Ironically, people like you and the OP....People with a viable skill that would benefit America....Have a tougher time than the illegals who "jump the fence"....

    I guess Day workers are more valuable than people with skills.....:biggrin_2556:
