well if you want to move, think about the rest of the EU, possibly Oz or Canada because the US is one of the hardest places to get to unless you marry a USC, which still isn't all that easy....unless you have a needed work skill like a nurse, or something handy that'll get you sponsored...you'll need a degree though, or a lot of experience to make up for lack of degree, so your probable best bet is find a uni in the US and get a degree here and rack up the debt

thought you said you CAN move to America, if you can you've obviously done your research right?

OK, I'll be a little kinder:

Either get a job that will get you a visa (very hard to get. You will need a specific skill) or marry an American.

You really can't just move here because you want to. It is a very difficult (and pricey) process, requiring real commitment.

If you want to come out for a taster, I would suggest either a Student visa or a J-1 Exhange visa. If you are a student or a recent graduate, you can participate: http://www.bunac.org/ or http://www.ciee.org/

At least if you are here you can make contact for either marriage or a job.

Good Luck.

No one in the US lives 'normally'. It's not that kind of place

And no, you can't - sorry.

I know exactly what you meant! See my answer above: the US is not a 'normal' place...

Now go and do your (re-)search
