well, im sort of looking to do that right now, but i'm trying to find the cheapest way, it seems like with most companies you are paying for more then the visa, for example BUNAC, where you pay for job listings etc, but i don't need that..any heads up on the cheapest route?

I'm not sure since I have never applied for one, but I think the least expensive way to just get the visa is directly through the American Embassy.

I've included the link to the embassy in London, I think there is another one in the UK...Cardiff maybe? I'm getting a little bit better at my UK geography, but not that good to know which one is easier. You have some things going for you...females from the UK...probably are quicker to go through the system...profiling sometimes has it's benefits.

In any case, you don't have a LOT of time to get one in time to get a summer job...most are starting within the next 4-6 weeks if not sooner. Good luck and keep us informed.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out for sure. Yeh, im expecting it to take around that much time, my term/semester doesn't finish until then anyway so i can't really get going until then. I'll still have three months to work though so hopefully theres something out there for that amount of time! Thanks again for everyone's help, ill keep u informed!
