Hi,
I am from South Africa, and would like to emigrate to America.
Just a bit about myself.
I do not have any formal tertiary qualifications, but have 6 and a half years experience in programming. I started doing Cobol, moved to lotus notes and have for the last 4 years been doing web development in vb and lately C#, as well as database designing/development in SQL Server.
I am currently getting (converted to $$) just under $21000 per annum. I live "fairly" comfortable in South Africa on this salary, but the holes are starting to show. Is it realistic for me to expect to emigrate to America, and get more than that? And will I be able to live on such a salary, supporting me and my wife, and planning kids in the near to medium future?
What are my chances of getting a job in America, without any formal tertiary qualifications? And where/how should I begin to look for this potential job? Are there any recruitment agencies that are (specifically) looking for international employees?
I would appreciate any advice or information that anyone can give.
Thanks for the help.
Henk.
