Just my 2 cents. I can care less where you live. The 3 things that are important to me as an employer, in the order I care.

1. You are capable of doing the job and deliver when you promise or communicate when that isn't possible.

2. You have reliable infrastructure to do the job. Whether that is Internet, Phone or other means, you must be reliably reachable and capable of producing and talking daily. Without that it is hard for me to work with you as part of the team.

3. I can pay you and not have any government hassle because frankly I am just not big enough to deal with craziness.

If those things are doable I am generally good. I have friends in India who loose power on a relatively regular basis but I can work with them because they are reliable in their schedule and capabilities. Frankly, I think it is stupid of US companies or any country to think they have a lock on the best and brightest, just because you are from a war torn country doesn't make you less capable or intelligent than anyone else.

Good luck and I wish you the best.
