Notice:	Hi All, Do you happen to know someone who (1) Studied Linguistics (2) Is not a US citizen (3) got an H1-B visa for work in consulting If so, please send me an email! The long and short of it is: After studying Linguistics for 6 years at two top tier schools (BA + MA) I decided to take a break and pursue the fast cash of the consulting industry. (Bad timing with the crisis, I know). Now I'm trying to apply for the visa but my lawyer insists that I have 0% chance of getting it--because of the Linguistics degrees... Any evidence of the contrary would help me keep my job!
