You may want to try New Zealand as they had recently announced that they need skilled immigrants. For most of the developed countries, they are very tight on immigration.

I have tried NZ immigration and didn't succeed... even though it looks like it's easy, when you deal with the immigration officer, it's a different story. You'll have better chances if you've worked for big and well known corporations.

The US is probably easiest. There IS a heirarchy of simpler access. From easiest to hardest they are probably....

1.Refugees.
2. Hardship cases, like chinese, cubans, etc...
3. Traditional cultural hardship cases, jewish or latino.
4. Workers at big companies that have a supposed need.
5. Married to a person that is a legal immigrant or better.
6. Student on a proper visa.
7. Worker on a proper visa.
8. Sponsored.
9. Just wants to immigrate legally.
10. Some that just feel entitled.

As for those that say they "need skilled immgrants"? YEP, that $%^ is #7.

Is it easy for an American company to employ a Chinese from China? I mean, the employer needs to get a Visa for his Chinese employee to stay in USA? Is this procedure easy?

Thanks

These are some difficult questions you are asking steven. Not sure anyone on this forum will really be able to give you solid answers. Your name doesn't sound very chinese, so I do not know what country you might be from originally. Without talking to the government agencies, getting accurate information might be tough. One thing you can do, if you for whatever reason want to avoid that is find someway to get into contact with people here in America in ethnically homogenous areas, like China Town in San Francisco, California. There has to be some type of cultural resource website put out by folks in that area, as well as chinese individuals that may have good information even though they do not work for the government. It would also be a place where mandarin is spoken.

A site like this:

Chinatown San Francisco - The largest chinatown outside of Asia

AsI understand it, to be 100% bi legal, you have to have a clean record in china, be accepting, and have an interview with the chinese officials. America, interestingly enough, doesn't seem to have a problem, although I think THEY want to interview you ALSO. I guess getting the visa isn't that hard. ***MANY*** do it. I actually worked with a chinese national a couple years ago.

having lived in China, i personally know Chinese who have gone to usa

they did need a police clearance, none of them ever mentioned any interview with Chinese officials, all except students had to attend an interview at the usa consul or embassy. they were also required to verify the amount of money they had available

not all were allowed entry and no reason was given for denial

Thanks

The first part of the quote is probably the reason for the second part. The only time it is easy to get into the US legally is if you have the required funds to invest. I checked out applying, and was basically told 'don't bother, it would be a waste of your time.'

Whenever "global living" magazines and websites discuss this question (which is pretty often), they always seem to include both Uruguay and Ecuador among the top 5 "easiest countries for immigration". Interestingly, they also usually include both of them among the world's top 10/15 countries to live in, too.

Interesting.

I haven't been there, but I have to say, from everything I've read, that Quito would be my first choice, well ahead of Cuenca. For a start, the high altitude makes it far cooler (and when you're only a few miles from the equator, that's going to be really significant?). It also looks/sounds like one of South America's most interesting cities, one way and another ...

Thanks for the idea. Maybe, if I do go there, I can try both of them out. One thing I like about Cuenca is that it's closer to the coast. By the way, both cities have about the same elevation, but I hadn't thought about that in regards to temperature.

Depends on the situation. For example. my ex and her family (born in Cuba) went through a five year process just to legally get to the United States, and the only reason they were allowed to come is because an immediate family member already lived here.

I doubt the situation is as tough for everyone; but who knows.

Speaking from personal experience i can tell you that immigrating to the
USA "legally" is damn difficult and expensive.
No wonder most people just ignore the law and sneak in and hope for
the best.

The whole process has cost us and my wife's company about $21000 in Gov fees and attorney's costs up to date.
The worst part is although you are abiding by the law of the land, trying
to do everything the right way you are still treated like a POS by
officials every time you go for an interview.

So no, i don't think getting into the USA "legally" is easy at all..

Well, I DID list it towards the end. You could have done it for less money though. As for being treated like a POS? CONGRATS! They are ALREADY treating you like an American! Nice, huh!?

LOL, I don't expect them to greet you with open arms, they have to deal with so many BS stories etc. It's probably like dealing with any Gov agency though...
