Absolute barstewards of the first order. US Immigration has (or at least, had) a firm policy of employing retarded, overweight, ultra-nationalist halfwits with the table manners of Mr Creosote.
Dallas isn't the worst though. I have to reserve that honour for the good people of Miami International airport. With them, a couple of swamp crocodiles and a room with a lockable door I could have made the world a much better place.

I think its because the dollar:GBP exchange rate is strongly in favour of contractors from the UK (and the agents have sussed this out). It turns out to be cheaper to ship people in than to hire local talent.
The same thing happened in 00/01 when the exchange rate was at similar levels: I was part of a team of 6 shipped out to Dallas for 6 months in 2000. Even allowing for transport costs, we were 25-40% cheaper than equivalent level local staff.
As we do to Bangalore, so Dallas does to England.

As I said, I now get six or seven a day, whereas I've never had more than six or seven a year before that!

I reckon its just jobserve - they'e probably just changed their search criteria or something.
I don't search on location, there aren't enough relevent jobs for me to bother.
There have always been Euro jobs on JS and for some time there have been some aussie jobs (always posted around midnight, strangely!).
Now there seems to be a spate of US jobs. Perhaps they have started to market themselves there.

Why the change? Have the yanks suddenly decided that Brits are better value than Indians? Or have visa/green card restrictions been relaxed for us?

The Offshore chappie sat next to me is returning to India at the end of this month - assures me that the next place he is heading off to is the US.
