Default Should I move to the USA?

I was thinking about moving to USA when I'm older but I'm not sure to be honest, I was thinking Florida either orlando or tampa area but like I said nothing has been decided. My field is IT which means the US to my knowledge would be a good idea, and I agree with a lot of stuff the US does although, I think they can get out hand sometimes. I wish they would make changes on some things such as gun control could be tighter for example . To me personally I just want freedom in which there is plenty of jobs and there is plenty of nice people so I can settle down away from all this political correctness and rules in which governments in the UK seem to like to force upon innocent people with or without reason.

Maybe you could join the NRA?

Good plan! There's lots of IT jobs in Tampa and Orlando, by all accounts they are the tech-hubs of the future.

Obama kills innocent babies, with his death panels, so don't have any children if you come.

If you want to change the USA before you've moved here then I think you have answered your own question.

Default Re: Should I move to the USA?

I really think you need to take a least 2 or 3 vacations to Florida before deciding if you want to move there. 3 aught to be enough. Probably best to find a home and buy it before worrying about what visa you will need to move there, those things usually fall in to place.
Also, make sure you stock up on crisps, Bovril, and 'real' chocolate, as life is intolerable here without those essential items. Don't forget your electrical items (they always work well with step-up transformers), and bring your bed! They don't sell beds in Florida, or indeed the whole US. Bed sizes differ here, so pack a couple of extra mattress protectors.

If you need any more help then ask away. If there is anything we can't answer then feel free to refer to the stickies as a last resort.

SHOULD you move to the USA? Probably. CAN you move? Doubtful.

So as not to be rude like some others here, read the Wiki at the top of the USA page and see for which, if any of the visas you may be able to apply. Unless you're going to look for an American spouse, then your chances are slim to none.

I would also examine your motives VERY closely, because the reasons you've given are extremely naive at best.

If only. To cite just one example:
... four states — Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming and Vermont — allow concealed carry without any permit ....
