Dear Candyce, It is getting a Green card so you can legally work in the US for even a day that is the problem! For to have all the experience and knowledge that I do does not matter to your Embassy staff, they want every detail about you. Even when I won at Chelsea, I was asked the question could you build me this; yes I could if the powers to be would let me, work legally!
But they will not, even when you mention you were in charge of the National Maritime Museum and the Queens House, the Old Royal Observatory and the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, they are not interested.Try to speak to your Embassy staff about putting a Jekyll Garden back together, and they look at you like you are talking a different language!
Kindest Regards.
Neil.
