I fully agree with this comment about "people's grass.....except we don't want "heat" .
We have spent may happy times ( months or full seasons ) in the US & love the place & it's folk .
We don't want to move to or within Europe.

North Carolina seems well thought of, but some of the locals can be a bit odd.

I must point out that visiting the US (even for extended periods, I did it for 2-3 months at a time before moving) isn't the same as living here, working here and trying to scratch together enough money to get by out here. Doubly so if you don't have a working US spouse as your route to get in. Take it from someone who does genuinely like living here, it was not always that way, and I did suffer from extreme culture shock and homesickness for about 3 years after I moved and reality set in. That took a few years to manifest as well. Something as insignificant as my mother selling her house was what kicked it off and my work situation at the time didn't help.

Now, I got over it, but it is a reality of moving anywhere that this kind of thing can happen.

Unfortunately, at this time at least, it doesn't look like you meet any requirements to be able to obtain a visa for the US at this time though, unless you have some more info you could share.

Seriously though, if you really do want to move, have you considered researching if Canada is an option?



You can get Rosetta stone for much less than the cost of a visa to the US (for example). Learning a new language need not be a bar to emigration.
