Hey Guys
I'm a 3rd year architecture student from Bangalore India. As a part of our curriculum we are required to do an internship in our 7th semester/term. I am looking to work outside of India in a reputed firm.
1)Do suggest some good architects in the US or otherwise.
2)And also, Broadly what skills are required to get a job in one of these firms.
3)Is it difficult to get a work visa for the states? I already have a tourist visa.
Well I was thinking like NY, LA-ish? And i am mainly looking for a medium sized firm-- not to large or too small. Where i wont be dwarfed by the numbers and will learn a lot.
yes. recently work visas have been extremely hard to come by. last year they cut the number down drastically and even people that have been here working for years have been getting screwed. huge debacle as they screwed up and it wasn't even first come first serve. had to be reduced to a lottery.

Do you have any idea in which city you would want to work, or what kind of "reputed" firm you would want to work for?
