Answer 3 :
Any good job should do good, as long as you have a good working experience (a vast and qualified one is better). Also, it should help a lot if your English is good. But do visit http://www.travel.state.gov/ for official information about immigration to the U.S. To find out about specific kind of employment visa and requirements, go to http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=84096138f898d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=4f719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD Also visit http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis to read more information about different types of employment visas. Try visiting http://www.immigrationportal.com/ It is a great website where you can read others' stories about immigration to the U.S. You can post questions there and they will answer to you. It is a good place for you to ask questions and get advice, but remember that it is not an official website and that they are not lawyers. Besides, it's worth knowing others' stories of success, right???? Good luck!
Answer 4 :
Whatever path you choose you will need experience in your field before you can look for work here. Accountancy may be problematic as you will need to deal with different laws here and would have to study for certification here. If you find work with a multi national company though you might be able to get yourself transferred to the USA. A Master's or PhD certainly won't hurt your case as to get a work visa here you need to be better qualified and more skilled than anyone that can be hired locally. Start off by looking at recruitment pages for American colleges and large accounting firms, you will find out just what kind of qualifications and certification you need. Again if you want to teach here you may need to study the American way of doing things. It's not about finding the best job for emigrating, it's about finding a job where you can excel and make yourself more employable. Good Luck Edit to add. I stumbled over this website today. I think it would be well worth you taking a look. http://www.aicpa.org/
