Believe me being married to a US citizen doesn't make the situation much better, Yes you can eventually get a green card and live and work in the US. I have spent the best part of ten months jumping through hoops and red tape. and its not been an easy process. but I'm almost there now, just the formal embassy interview to go.
so if all else fails, and you realy want to work in the US, you could always search love at AOL for a nice cute american wife
