Basically, you can get a work visa but you'll have to be sponsored by a company (which puts you in a position where it would be difficult to quit if they were jerks). Also, that would put your family in the position of being on your visa, so they wouldn't have rights to work. (your kid couldn't even work at McDonalds legally) The best route is to get a green card, but that isn't very straight forward either. So, in a nutshell, it's a trick. You might spend sometime on http://www.ins.gov and figure out what would work best for you. They're pretty slow and unfriendly -- it turns out most of the people they work for can't vote against them ;) --Ted
