...and it's need to hire a foreign national... That reminds me to a funny story. A few friends of mine used to be in an (internationally) rather popular rock band in the 90's (if you're over 30, it is quite possible that you've heard of them). They have stopped playing together since then but now, after many years, they decided to do one last world tour. Given that they're all British citizens, they had to get a US working visa for the concerts in the US. To get the visa, they had to actually prove that the fans wouldn't be exactly satisfied with the performance of a similarly named tribute band (formed by US citizens). I know that this is required to keep foreign "commodity musicians" from playing in bars and restaurants but sill quite funny, considering their (former) popularity. (In the end, they managed to get their visa.)
