Hello. I need some serious advise as all my attempt to get any info about what I need to know has failed.

I'm currently working to build flight time. I have FAA Commecial Multi with Instrument, AGI, FCC and BSc in Aviation in the US. I have a US work permit that expires next February which doesn't have re-entry previlidges.

I'd like to stay in US and work. The only way I can stay here beyond February 2008 is if an US employer sponsors me for an H-1B work pemit which have unlimited re-entry previledges to US. This kind of work permit requires that the job is salary based with full benifits.

Once I get the work permit I will have to continue to work for the same employer for up to 5 years untill I get a Green Card, which is fine with me.

Every regionals I talked to said they won't even take my resume unless I'm a US resident, but I'm not able to apply for residency unless I get sponsored for a work permit first by an US employer. Of course evey regional airline is totally capable of sponcering me, but I'm not able to get a hold of the right kind of inside man for that. At this point I'll take a job with any regonals in a heart beat to fly anything.

If I have to go back home than my flying carries is over as I won't be able to get a medical. Getting ICAO medical is a pain and if your eye is not 20/20 without correctie leses they only pass you if your eye is not worse than a certain level. Mine is worse than what they allow, but with FAA I can get my medical easy as FAA issues you a Class A as long as you can see 20/20 with corrective lenses.

Any one got any advise/ideas to what are my best options?
