thanks for your reply, I think I'll have to see a lawyer see what they recommend (half of the time they don't even know what's going on)... My wife is a US citizen and she'd be coming with me if I was to get the job, I guess that'd probably be reason enough for them to let me back in... in any case, I wouldn't have a problem flying back every 5 months or so.. all these immigration stuff is complicated
