My name's Matt and I'm one day hoping to move to Los Angeles for my writing/entertainment aspirations. I am wondering if anyone can offer advice on how they did it, i.e. move to the US without a work visa/greencard, and then were able to find work once there, get contacts and be able to stay legally. I often hear about musicians and actors, etc, heading to LA to seek work and do auditions and I always wonder 'how' they are doing it without proper visa's etc. Any advice via email would be greatly appreciated, cos this is my dream and I just want a chance to get there.

I would like to introduce an opportunity for Australian young people willing to explore the Italian culture living in a family in Italy. I run a friendly, tiny au pair agency in Turin, North of Italy, that places females/males (less requested) in Italian families any time of the year, for long and short stay (summer). The au pair arrangement is excellent if the person is prepared to fit into the life-style of a family and make herself useful. Being an au pair is an extremely good way of gaining more knowledge of the country, its culture and language.The au pair is expected to help looking after the children and with the various household duties in the family. She/he will receive an application form to fill out and email me back with the required documents, in case they decided to apply. As soon as I have more information about the applicant, I will be able to match her with the right family and she will have all the details of them, such as salary, working hours and so on. There are many professional families in Italy looking for a lovely English speaking au pair expected to take care of the children, playing and living with them. They are ready to welcome her, also if she does not speak Italian. No agency fee is requested (only the families pay). The au pair will be charged for the cost of the travel and of the language course, if she wishes to follow one.

As the Public Relations coordinator for Agora Gallery, I would like to announce our upcoming Collective Contemporary art exhibition which may be of interest to you. The exhibition will showcase the paintings of Janelle Fenwick, an artist living and working in New Zealand. Agora Gallery, located at 530 W. 25th St. in Chelsea, is pleased to present Collective Exhibition: Contemporary Art at its Best. The exhibition presents art from an international spectrum of artists, featuring fantastic and mathematical surrealism, dream-inspired art, and abstractions that are both atmospheric and sculptural, possessing an instinctive force and allure of timelessness. Painting in an abstract style, Janelle Fenwick creates the sensation of being in the present moment of the painting through her bold colors and thick, painterly style. Her work ranges from abstract and airy, with beautiful use of negative space, to brooding and dark with intense color combinations. With intriguing wit and subtle dynamism, Fenwick’s paintings lure the viewer inside each canvas, telling us a timeless story through pure color. Click here to view Fenwick's art: http://www.agora-gallery.com/ArtistInvite/Janelle_Fenwick.aspx. The Collective Exhibition: Contemporary Art at its Best will be on display August 12 through September 1, 2006. Reception takes place August 17, 2006, from 6-8 PM at Agora Gallery, 530 West 25th Street in Chelsea, New York.

Hi my name is Suze. My husband and I applied for the 'Green Card Lottery' and have been short listed to the select few who now have to go through the process of having medical exams, police checks and going for the ever daunting interview at the American Consulate in Sydney (Ours is set for the 28th June 2006). We are trying very desperately to make this happen for us as it has been our dream to live and work in the U.S. We have some money to take with us, but we are going in blind folded, unsure what to expect - to the interview and then onto America if we are accepted. We either need to have enough money to financially support ourselves once we are over there for 4 months or need a sponsor. My hubby is a Construction Project Manager at present in Melb and we would love to here from anyone willing to sponsor him so we can go into this interview with proof that he can get a job or has a job in The States once we are approved. If anyone can help, please email me, Im desperate to hear from you. We are not concerned at all where we go in America. Please email me also if you have been through the Green Card Lottery process and you can give me some in-sight on what to expect, like how much money they actually want us to have, what they ask you etc etc. Thanks so much.

Hi, I'm a 22 yr old aussie girl from Frankston, Vic. I moved to the US a few months ago with my 5yr old son to marry my now husband. While I love being here and love my husband, I find it very lonely sitting home while he's at work, not knowing anyone, not being good at making friends. What I'd really love is to find any other aussies local, but I'm doubting that as I live in Texarkana, AR/TX, and I haven't heard of any aussies ever around here. But I would definetly love to chat to someone via email or whatever, who's in a similiar situation. I miss feeling "normal" like I do in Aus, but I'm slowly getting used to the different "lingo" around here and different names for things etc. Anyways, I'd love to hear from anyone, local or not. :)
