anyone know anything about the Visa system? i know the general gist is you can't get one unless you've got a job, and you can't get a job unless you're some sort of second coming because there's a policy that the job should go to an american if at all possible. or you can be a student. or marriage, green card lotteries etc. are there other ways?

i've spent too long today looking at Brooklyn apartments on craigslist. WANT.
