>Actually I have two cities in mind: New York, NY or Paterson, NJ. Also as a VFP developer for 5 years I think can find a job on my field of expertise.

Yuck!! Get ready for a culture shock. I don't know much about finding a job once you get here, but I can't imagine finding anything more opposite of a Caribbean island than the NY area.

I do know that, while demand for jobs is down across the board in the US, Atlanta is not feeling that crunch at all. Still lots of demand here.
