Looking for an agent that can help Indian in KSA get a US work visa by texas rose
I have an Indian friend that is currently working in the KSA, but would like to get a work visa for the US. Does anyone have a recommendation for an agent that can help? He already has a job offer in the US.

Thank you, Mannyd! He doesn't have a degree, so he has to apply for an H2B visa. The problem is that India isn't listed on the list of countries that the US is accepting H2B visas from. Supposedly an agent can get one, though. Read More

Taking pets by wamleh1
Hi All, I love this blog. It's answered a lot of questions for us. We are moving sometime in the next year to Jubail (wife,3 kids) and want to take our two cats. Has anyone done this? Do you know the regulations? Thanks in advance.
