For those of you who work at US offices with international branches or other international firms with US branches, is it a common thing to move between branches? I'm currently working in Korea, and trying to look for ways to relocate myself back to the US within two years. I know that the economy is bad and the competition for a H1B visa is worse, so am thinking about getting into an Asian or European branch first, and then moving back to the states.

I have both undergrad and graduate degrees from well known US schools, and have little trouble communicating in English. Don't know if this is a plus or not getting a job outside of US while I don't speak any third language. I hope I can work for three years or so in a different country and eventually apply for a US visa and make my way back. I know it's much less of a hassle to get a working visa for other countries, but do people ever make it to a US branch? For me, this is the most sensible way to land myself in the states, since I'm not thinking about getting another degree. How easy/difficult is this usually? Also any suggestions on better alternatives will be greatly appreciated.
