Hi Everyone

My husband and I would love to immigrate to LA.

But ofcourse we know it is going to be a difficult procedure. Does anyone know of agencies that can help us look for work there?

My husband is an accountant at a CA firm and I am a secretary for a GM of a listed furniture store.

Please advice?

Thank you

Perhaps you should first contact the nearest US Emabssy for information regarding the immigration process. You will need a visa.

If you use an agent he will cost you money and there is no guarantee of success.If turned down he will ask for yet more funds for another application.

I strongly suggest you do not waste money on an agency. The decision to grant you a visa is not made by the agency and essential you could be wasting your money. I would seriously reach out to the US Embassy or Consulate in your region and/or review the information found on these websites.

US Department of State - http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html
US Citizenship and Immigration Services - http://www.uscis.gov/

Good luck.
