Hello all

I am looking in to relocating to Chicago from the UK. I have done lots of research on visas etc and it would appear that my options are limited to getting an employment based immigration visa or getting a visa via the diversity lottery (my wife is Irish).

I am a tax professional and I have 10 years experience of working in tax and more recently a few years experience of international tax. I have an accouting degree and I have two professional qualifications in tax (I am a chartered tax advisor). My experience and qualifications mean I should qualify for an employment based visa however my biggest challenge will be finding an employer who will be willing to sponsor me.

I have contacted a few recruitment agents to discuss this with them and I notice that all of the big accountancy firms are advertising for international tax experience. I am planning on applying for these jobs but not sure if they will sponsor me for a visa.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice they can offer which would be helpful. Would be great to hear from someone who has made a similar move.

Kind regards

Andrew
