Re: H-1B visas [*] Silicon Valley to fill engineering departments with top intl talent
Actually, the reason it's hard in the UK is not the bureaucracy but HR. British companies' HR flatly refuse to do it because"it's too hard". Only foreign companies' HR does not realise this, so your opportunities are savagely restricted.
I speak from strong personal experience here, as an Aussie who came in via this system.
Interestingly (...) I later discovered it's all bullshit. I moved to a startup hedge fund as non-founder trader #1 and the boss/founder threw me the paperwork and said "here, it's your bloody visa, you do the paperwork."
It's a single page of A4.
