Switzerland: Asylum or work-permits in Switzerland?:

Hello all, I permanently moved to Europe (currently near Schaffhausen CH), and I needed to ask the forum how is it easiest for a US Citizen to obtain a work-permit if one is not highly educated? Is der Schweiz any easier than Germany? Are there gainful jobs that the Swiss don't want which an American will likely be approved for? Here in Germany I have 4 job offers but its taking much too long for my new work-permit change to be approved or denied, and the Companies who want me will not wait that long. 4 weeks ago I applied for an Electriker arbeitserlaubnis and I have heard nothing. Are there certain Regions that often give Americans a better chance at a new work-permit than other Regions? Does anyone know any Americans (without permanent Residency) doing simpler type jobs with little or no work-permit problems anywhere in the EU? In what EU Country can a foreigner utilize Temp-Agencies or similar private Job Service offices? (Please don't laugh) but I even thought of applying for Asylum from the criminally oppressive, failed Us. Does anyone have any positive comments or advice on this? I was also born in France (but not of EU parents) and people who know & believe my personal situation have been trying to contact the Town Hall where I was born on my behalf, to no avail. **{is there a better internet forum to discuss these matters in?}** I would greatly appreciate anyone's positive advice (but please no sales pitches for services). Thanks!

Germany: Work-permits for U.S. Citizens?:

Hello all, I permanently moved to Europe (currently in Germany), and I needed to ask the forum how is it easiest for a US Citizen to obtain a work-permit if one is not highly educated? Are there jobs that Germans don't want which an American will likely be approved for? Here in Bodensee Region I have 4 job offers but its taking much too long for my new work-permit change to be approved or denied, and the Companies who want me will not wait that long. My current arbeitserlaubnis change (for a permanent Electriker position, through a private Zeit-Arbeit Agency) has been hung-up in Duisberg for 4 weeks with no sign of any answer. Until I learn the language better I intend to try simpler jobs which not many EU locals want but is this simply possible in Germany? Are there certain Regions that often give Americans a better chance at a new work-permit than other Regions? If not, what EU Countries give Americans a good chance at the Jobs which locals don't want? Does anyone know any Americans (without permanent Residency) doing simpler type jobs with little or no work-permit problems anywhere in the EU? In what EU Country can one utilize Temp-Agencies or similar private Job Service offices? Germany has a law that generally prohibits Temp-Agencies for foreigners. I would greatly appreciate anyone's advice (but please no sales pitches for services). Thanks!

Netherlands: Easy Work-permits around Amsterdam?:

Hello all, I permanently moved to Europe (currently in Germany), and I needed to ask the forum if it is any easier in Netherlands for a US Citizen to obtain a work-permit if one is not highly educated? Here in Germany I have 4 job offers but its taking much too long for my new work-permit change to be approved or denied and I think the Companies who want me will not wait. Until I learn the language better I intend to do simpler jobs which not many EU locals want but is this simply possible around Amsterdam? If not, what EU Countries should I try to settle in instead? Does anyone know any Americans doing simpler type jobs with little problems anywhere in the EU? In what EU Country can one utilize Temp-Agencies or similar private Job Service offices? Germany has a law that generally prohibits Temp-Agencies for foreigners. I would greatly appreciate anyone's advice (but please no sales pitches for services). Thanks!
