A mate of mine works for deutche bank in London and looked at going across and working in New York. The only way he could do it was if he was sponsored. In his position not a problem but he reckons that they have this extremely prohibitive thing with prepaying tax. They base your tax bill on your last two years income and you have to pay that up front or something similar. I found it very hard to believe but he was adamant about it.

Best thing would be to talk to the Embassy in Canberra.... Probably would not call them today....probably a little busy.....
