Hi,

I have been in contact with a consultancy in New Jersey, and they have
offered to sponsor my H1 visa.
They have said that once I arrive in the US they will try and find me
work in my chosen area (Georgia).
They are going to pay the visa application and my flight out there,
however, they are asking me to pay thier independant lawyer for the
legal fees.
Is this normal, out of the ordinary etc?

Once I arrive in the US I have to apply for my social security number,
is it true that this can take upto 4 weeks?

I guess that I a bit nervous about the whole thing, as I will be
quitting my well paid job here in the UK and going into the unknown.

Anyhow, thanks in advance for any advice, information etc..
Regards
Col
