Hi,
	I am trying to get as much information as possible so I can
move permanently from Australia to the USA. I am posting anonymously
(hopefully) because I do not want other people from my company to know
of my plans (what plans?) to leave, for various political reasons.

My current plan around May (or sooner if possible!) is:

Fly to the USA
Marry my fiancee
Get a job in the professional computing industry, somewhere in the USA
Move to wherever my job is
Live happily ever after

***
Fly to the USA - I need a visa. My fiancee tells me that I can get a
fiancee's visa , and I'll have to marry within a certain time. I have
been reading alt.visa.us , but all the codes are confusing... what is
an H1, J1, etc... ? How about a fiancee's visa?


***
Marry - Yes, I am doing this for love.


***
Get a Job - My fiancee is an American citizen. Does this mean I can
get a job? How long before I can become a permanent resident? A (dual)
citizen? Has anyone made up a table for easy reference? :)

And something that will be on my mind for the next few months, should
I start canvassing for jobs now, or is it a waste of time? Should I
read misc.jobs* and send resumes off? Before I'm even a resident?


***
Move to wherever my job is - I may be paranoid here, but do I have to
stay in the one place for a while, or can i go anywhere I please in
the USA?


***
Live happily ever after - This is the easy part.



If you reply to me by email, don't expect a quick reply. This
anonymous mail server seems to be "lagged" somewhere between Finland
and Australia.
