Can anyone help us?
We need to be put on the right track fed up with getting nowhere fast,we want to have a business in Kissimmee,and live there can anyone tell us how and where do we start from we are being told all different things THANKS

The US is in a recession at the moment in case you didn't know that. That means that lots of mom and pop operations are closing down due to lack of buying power by consumers. This is particularly true in Florida where fewer people will be visiting the Disney resorts due to limited cash flow. Good luck.

Haven't you had this dicussion already?

Basically if you want to start a business you will need a lot of money - I think people suggest $500,000 - as well as money to live on.

But even if you have this, the bigger problem is you will not be permanent residents and the visa that allows you do this would not give you a path to this, your children would have to leave once they reach 21 unless they can get their own visas.

You've already been given advice...why open another thread?

i know i have been given advice but we are in limbo who do we contact etc thanks to all

You are not in limbo at all.

You cannot move to the USA.

The USA doesn't want you. There is no-one to contact

You think you're in limbo.............
The USA thinks you're never moving ever.

That's not limbo, that's the blunt harsh reality. You're NEVER moving to the USA based on what you've told us.

I've got more chance of being an astronaut that you landing a visa to live in Kissimmee........




So stop pissing in the wind with this and either look at another country or get on with your lives.




sorry to break it to you like that, but the softly softly approach isn't obviously working.

Ok ..I am the Florida Man ... its pretty easy really ...

1. do you have around $200K for the business ..
and another $200k for incidental, house , cars etc...

2. go to Florida find a business you are interested in

3, get attorney, accountant etc

4. Do your due dilligence

5. Make you offer subject to visa. money goes into escrow

6. file business plan and visa application with consulate

7. Interview and Consulate decision

I know i am driving you all mad we did think of france but no ok thanks

Well if you'd wanted to be helpful you could at least have forwarded the link to the NASA job application form...

Besides....you also will need another 300k for cummuting from "Orland" to your new business in Kissimmee.

Well at least you won't need a visa.

Give up the dream of the US its not going to happen,try Portugal.

How much cash do you have? As Ray has pointed out, you'd need money to buy the business and money to buy house/cars/furniture/appliances. How will you pay for health insurance for yourselves and 4 kids? Do you have enough money to send kids to American colleges?

Since you're not listening to anyone here, pay for a consultation from the London lawyer that Ray recommended.

That willl cost around 400 pounds
