TN or H1 visa for my job???

oh no, no one means to ruin your dream ! Dremani is right, your degree is something impressive and sought after in the US. Just find a job thats on the TN list or as I previously said, keep trying for someone to sponsor you for the exact job you want under H1. It IS definitely possible.

Moving to the US requires some effort hehe

I am currently looking at California only since my fiancee most likely will be moving there for a research position with one of the biotech firms.

I guess I just have to look around for more options, but I am really looking to stay in the biotech/pharma field, which only has research positions listed under NAFTA (research is just not for me ). I do have several yrs of experience under my belt but still not sufficient to apply for manager roles. Anyway, i really appreciate all the feedbacks. I guess I will either have to change career or seduce a CEO so he/she will be willing to sponsor me. LOL

An H1 is readily available now for imediate start, so don't let possible negative view of H1 stop you from at least trying.
