Just make sure to say in your interview (which has obviously passed) or when you have a chance to not contact your current company as a reference. They usually understand and don't have a problem when they know what is up.

) for now, i just want 100% guarantee tht i will get a work visa...thanx for the advice guys

Can you apply for citizenship yet? I know it's a hard process but it will make life so much easier. It's a pain in CA, don't ask me personally, my family has been here since the mayflower, but i do have alot of friends. I do know that it isn't that hard to stay in the country though after your visa has expired, i don't know how to do it.
But not being constatnly bounced around is a great thing, so even if the money isn't there, or isn't better, i think you will be happier, assuming you want to stay here.

work visa comes first before i can apply for a green card or citizenship 
and to get the work visa, the company hiring me has to spend $6-7K to hire a lawyer to handle all the legal stuff... i'm pissed cos most companies know tht, so they lowball me on salary, but say tht the lawyer fee will make up for the rest 
so yeah, i'm really poor

I don't know how it works, but i might be able to put you in touch with some savy people when it comes to that sort of stuff. I know a bunch of people who got around things. It helps when you work for someone who is foreign though.
