Would this experience be any different for an American trying to work in Canada, or somewhere in Europe? I haven't tried it, and honestly don't know. But the tone of your comment is a little aggrieved, as if a non-US citizen should of course find it easy to get his dream job in the U.S. My Dad recently sold a house in Canada, and he can't get the money out of the country for six months. Why? Because he's not Canadian. The rules in Canada were written to benefit Canadians, not well-off guys from the U.S. who want to be able to move money easily. It's the same with jobs. If your dream job is in the U.S. you can always try to immigrate, I suppose. At that point a lot of these issues would go away (and I am sure that's not much easier a road).
