Yes I did come here on one but until Florence and I married I was little more than a bond servant. The company paid the immigration lawyer and in actual fact I was one of twenty people who possessed the particular skills and the other nineteen would not have worked for the offered salary. But when you are madly in love and need to be together you tend to do things you might not do otherwise.
Most of the time there were people here with the required skills but they would not work for the offered salaries. So employers could advertise the position and not get any takers because they simply were not offering a decent wage.
