I had my H1B visa and ready to work in USA. Resigned my job. My US employer asked me not to board the flight since the job situation was very bad. That was beginning of 2001. I tried for other jobs and got a UK work permit by mid 2001. But that also went bust very shortly due to UK dot com crash. I must have been the only person with two countries work permits and without a job. Local companies refused to hire me once they saw my passport.
