Haribo, learn fluent spanish before you go, or else you are dead in the water. Learn to fight the horrendous traffic and prepare to compete with 3rd world wage earners.

Re: Work In Miami


Also my wifes brother wanted to move here. With a job waiting for him and good assests and his sister here. It is like a 10 year process with immigration to get a green card to work. Undesireables do seem to get in quicker. Immigration lawyer said he could do it in less time so he paid 6K to get started. 4 years now and still working on it. They bought a house in florida and just use for vaction until they can get in legal.
