I have done before, but never done a big one and not climbed one for a while since I've been doing street trees!- Mr Fowler

No worries, apologies if I seem frustrated. I understand the sentiment behind what you're saying, it will be so much effort for someone to employ me I have to make it so easy as they can't say no! Its pretty complex the whole visa thing and the irony is at least half of the places I have been...- Mr Fowler

Yeah its not very interesting at all mate! A H2B might not be possible anyhow because of various points, depends on the employers business really. My partner is super clever and is getting a H1B visa which her employer is sorting for her with the help of a lawyer. But you're right, it is...- Mr Fowler

And in reference to being on time every day, not being on the phone etc - these things are a given. I shouldn't have to say this in a first email to a prospective employer to impress them - they are the basic requirements of being an employee!- Mr Fowler

In that picture I am pulling an 880 up into the tree. I have never used an 880 with one hand and don't think I could if I wanted to. I'm slightly confused as to how or why you came to that conclusion?! Also, thank you for your advice - I have sent a resume to 10 people now with a covering email...- Mr Fowler

Basically, whoever wants to employ me will have to petition the US government for a visa. More than likely they would be applying for this visa which would be temporary (for one year, but could be extended to 3)... http://www.h1base.com/content/h2bvisa/- Mr Fowler

Aye, was a fair sized horse chestnut! I'm only 5ft 6 though so I'm making it look bigger...- Mr Fowler

Not heard anything back as yet. Unsure as to how likely visa sponsorship is going to be! Thought I'd include a picture of me about to attempt using an 880 on spikes...- Mr Fowler

Sounds like a good dude. I've never climbed a palm tree - believe it or not there aren't many over here.- Mr Fowler

Ah kool. If you could just let him know I emailed, that would be great - I wouldn't ask you to vouch for my work ability etc without ever knowing me, but thank you! I'm guessing if you were there for 7 years it must be an okay place to work? Also, I have emailed my resume to Decorus, thanks for...- Mr Fowler

Davey Tree, Arborwell, So Cal Tree Care, New Way, Treeco, Bishops Tree Care, San Diego Tree Care, California Tree Services. It costs money to petition the government for a visa and I imagine there's a fair bit of paperwork involved. I think only the larger companies would consider it, but I've...- Mr Fowler

I have sent out 8 resumes / job applications today with covering letters explaining about visa sponsorship. At least half of the places I sent them to were currently hiring / looking for staff so hopefully I'll get something...- Mr Fowler

Relocating from UK to San Diego area
I'm on £11 an hour as I'm working for a large UK firm. It's not a great wage for where I am located (I live in one of the more expensive parts of the U.K.). I don't contract climb as I'm probably not quick enough really and I enjoy just going to work, working hard and then forgetting about work...- Mr Fowler

Sound advice. I will remove the innuendos because I think I would crack pretty easily if I was interrogated. The cat has done some terrible things to other animals so I imagine it could be rightfully detained.- Mr Fowler
