Re: wanting to move to usa enquiry about visas
The joke was that you CAN get a visa to the US if you have $1 million to invest. Simply arriving with 40K GBP wouldn't work. The show's producers conveniently left out reality.... but that's the point of soaps innit?

She also wouldn't have been able to buy a one-way ticket to the US without a visa. If she did the airline wouldn't let her board.

Re: wanting to move to usa enquiry about visas
It'd be funny if television programmes had to publish a credibility rating. The soaps and talkies would be near bottom, watchdog-style shows would be near the middle, and documentaries above that, but I still think it'd be hard to get near 100%. The UK documentaries get far closer than any of the US shows I've watched, though.

Why are you so keen to leave the UK? Many expats would give there right arm to return. It's a case of the grass is always greener etc etc etc.
to Vegas so she can start a new live in the US.

Many expats think it's the best thing they have done. The expats I know, very few have returned or wish to.

I thought you'd already given up on the USA as impossible... from one of your posts in the NZ forum:
we did try to get into the USA
but had no luck there as was almost impossible. We are looking for a better life for our grown up children and have heard new zealand is the place to be.
I don't know what to make of this one... sincere or troll?
Bird family, you have no chance of getting to the USA. What happened to Canada and NZ?
