My UK family and I would like to move to Boston. I'm a hard-working webapp dev. How do I get there?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you are not liking the sound of this, you can save yourself hours of homework reading the DHS website (formerly INS), and go here:

This is for an immigration lawyer. Believe me, you will probably need one. In the end, it will save you time and money.
Your other alternative, as I said, is to move to Canada. Frankly, I think it is the better move. Once in Canada, you can visit the U.S. for up to 6 months, though it will not be legal for you to work there. (The nature of your business may be such that you could work from the U.S. while maintaining a Canadian address for work. This may or may not be legal). British citizens can live and work in Canada with very minimal effort. At least there, you would be nearer your goal. I urge you to consider this, even as a temporary step.

M$If you intend to apply for citizenship, the H-1B is one of the few visa categories recognized as dual intent, meaning you may apply and receive a green card, even while having the visa.
Your best bet might be to apply for a job in the UK at companies that you know have offices in Boston. Once you have the job, you can always apply for a transfer.

M$I live in Boston and moved here about a year ago. A great resource is to use the website theladders.com to begin your senior level job search. It is a subscription service but well worth it. As you begin to apply and look for careers here you can then better look at your visa/HB1 needs. Another option to pursue simultaneously is to network for careers on sites like LinkedIN and Spoke in order to build your Boston netowork of professionals in hopes of learning about job opps that way. Finally, it would also be a good idea to look for US based employers with operations in the UK looking for talent they can bring over. Within all of these you should lead with your ability to "bring" a new book of business to a US firm based in Boston that you would be able to manage - a skill and ROI benefit that will set you apart from the rest of the job seeking crowd.
best regards.

M$You may even be able to find a job on craigslist as well. The economy here is rough as you probably know. So try to save as much money as possible before coming here. Hope this helps.
Good luck
