    We sponsored a nice gentlemen from bulgaria. He had to prove that he was not taking a job away from a U.S. Citizen. It took about two years, cost us and him lots of money. He needed special help from lawyers...

    I would suggest contacting a law firm in the U.S. that specializes in this type of work.

    Good luck.

    Mikeeee

    Now that I think about it, I would contact two or three and get multiple opinions!

    Wouldn't you be able to go to Canada without that much of a hassle? If so, you may want to consider going that way. You will still be able to drive over the road and hopefully have a much easier time getting over here.

    Do you know what you're getting yourself into? The industry here is nothing like the European industry, and, for the double whammy - whatever experience you've spent driving with (I'm assuming it's also E+C or EC for Ireland) - isn't going to be credited to you here.
