Bullet:

Are you trying for an H1b? I had a job offer flying an Aztec for an aerial photography company in West Virginia in 1998. We tried to get an H1b but the biggest problem was the pay at $15,000pa and the State of WV said it should pay at least $27,000. Under the prevailing wage law, the company is bound to pay at least the minimum as determined by the State or it's no-go I'm afraid.

An effective way to prevent foreigners taking US jobs. There is no way that (or any) company would pay a US citizen the higher rate!
