Start here: http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Pulask...ork_in_the_USA.

If you fall into any of these categories, then the next step is finding a US employer to sponsor you... or a USC to marry! However, depending on the position you hold with your current employer, find out if they have a US branch!

Hi

We get a post like yours everyday or so, and, sadly, the response we give is usually the same and usually quite negative.

Go through the VISA link on the wiki and see what you might qualify for. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET INTO THE US LEGALLY. There not a great number of visas available in the first place, and the restrictions placed on them are quite onerous. It is no joke when people suggest just marrying an American.

Until you can figure out what visa you will work on, finding a job on a website or hunting for an apartment is a waste of time.

Actually I went there on vacation and hated it. But I fell in love with Naples, FL. Now there I would not mind living.

Nothing's wrong with you, per se. I quite like the picture. It looks like you're in the snowy plains of North Dakota.

I just like being disturbed by the monkey. Masochist, I guess.
Also, I kept confusing your boyhood pic with PaddingtonGreen's snap.
