Getting into America....it is hard!
 

Ive always wanted to live in America, ive brought books and books about the visas and ways to immigrate. Everything is so overwhelming as there is so much to look at.

I would spend 10 years going through a visa programme if i new i would be living in America after, but it seems that unless your a CEO of a company or a brain surgeon they dont even want to consider you.

Can anyone tell me how they immigrated to USA without any family members already there.

And maybe any suggestions on how to get a job offer as everything seems so much harder than the other countries.

Any help would be amazing

Thanks

There are only so many ways to get a visa that will allow you to live and work in the US. Start here: http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Pulask...ork_in_the_USA. If nothing fits immediately, then you'd best figure out how to qualify yourself. Without a visa, it simply will not happen.

A = L1A visa - start working for a multinational company in the UK at a decent level of seniority, then after 1 year get yourself a transfer within the Company.

B = Marry a USC (or GC holder or L1 holder)

C = Have a special skill - if you don't already, then the top 2 are more sensible.

marry a USC, a greeny won't be much use, would take years to sponsor 'em over...

That's exactly how Willmore writes in the Three Word Story thread when she can't fit it into 3 words.
