Hi Mick...welcome to BE.

It's very difficult to move to the US unless you are an American or married to one...but if you read through the link Bob provided you'll get the general idea.

In light of what you've already said I suggest you post any questions you have about visa to visit the US in the US Immigration and Visas forum. You will get lot of good advice from the regulars who post in there. General questions about life in the US should be posted in the US Forum. The Trailer Park is for general chit chat.

Please take time to take a look in the BE Wiki...it's a great source for information. Also please read through any stickied threads that may be posted at the top of each forum's index page.

If you require any assistance finding your way around BE's many forums we have a team of concierges who will act as your tour guide...they will be pleased to help you. The concierge for the US forums is Kaffy Mintcake...please contact her if you need pointing in the right direction.

Any problems or concerns should be addressed to a mod or admin. The mods for the US Immigration forums are Meauxna, Noorah101, Bob and MsElui.

Please give me a shout if I can be of further help.

You're very welcome.

Depends what the caution was for, but might not be a problem, it might, the DUI shouldn't be...but your friend, unless you're planning on marrying said person isn't really much use, unless able to sponsor you for a job which falls in the category already listed in the wiki.

It's terribly difficult, so good luck with your endeavours and perhaps if not able to find a permanent move, you'll be able to find something such as being a student here to give you a taste of living in the US
