I'm Brazilian and I would love to spend some time in Alaska, but although they say the accept foreigners none of the companies want to help you with the red tape work,and I'm not a student anymore. I just want a cross cultural experience and without the help of the employers it is pratically impossible to get a temporary work visa. Can anyone help me?

Anyone else out there have any insights?; ▶ Reply to This
