I can think of a few options:

1: Do you have a spare million in the bank to invest in the USA
2: Are either of you US citizens
3: If no to 2 get divorced and each find a US citizens to marry
4: Are you students maybe a job in Disneyland or a summer camp
5: Do either of you have a specialized job may be get a company to sponsor you

Well there's a start but something tells me this is an alias to wake the board/bored up!

If not welcome to BE OP

You get this thing called a M O R G A G E

If you're planning on using his employment transfer for a visa then I'm guessing he would have to be transferred with the same employer. As he needs his employer to get the visa I think you've answered your own question really.

You find a house - You get this thing called a M O R T G A G E- and then you usually live in it and then you come onto this forum and complain about everything in America and how much better off you were in Leicester.

I'll be honest with you, if your you and your husband have not got a mortgage on your current house then I'm guessing he isn't paid a fortune. If he isn't paid a fortune it's because either 1: His job is not exactly rocket science and is not a highly paid profession. 2: It is a highly paid profession but your husbands firm think they have a right mug and are paying him peanuts 3: As a couple you suck with money. Whichever scenario it may be you are very unlikely to be getting a transfer to his company's US division and therefore not going to get a visa either.

Dont go there agin, you are going to hate coming back the next time when you realise that you're never likely to live there.

Are they planning on living at Disney? Maybe they can get jobs as Minnie and Mickey, although getting a Visa based on that may be a problem.
