Get a degree in Computer Science or win the lottery :cool:

job
Try London, you don't need a visa.
|
Go to College, study business, go to University, study business, or finance, or accounting.
Go to London, work for an international firm; profit. Maybe transfer to America or somewhere exotic in the world. |
I have no GCSE's and can't count how many times I've been glad I have'nt needed them either!
Some work experience would go a long way too Jimbo! ;) |

I know I'm probably being pesimistic (speling?) here but I came over here on a H1B, basically maybe you could go for a visit to where u think you would like to station youself over here, then find a company thats willing to sponsor you, yep I did a'levels and a HND (turned into a bachelors over here) 3 yrs in college. But just make sure you are making the right choice, I miss home so much right now (cardiff) but going through the AOS right now. but crimbo I'm looking forward to the green green grass of home,
I know it prob didn't help much, but maybe take a look at where u wanna go first and make sure its the right choice then do everything in your power to get there, Take Care |

Originally posted by Jimbo6103 ..... I really want to go to America, but how do I go about it? (i) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (ii) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. IT, scientific or medical training. (iii) You have an employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (ii), above. (iv) get a greencard in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland are not eligible) (v) You own a business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no greencard) (vi) You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US$1m in assets to bring with you. It is not easy to get even a recruitment agent to take you seriously if you are not already in the US, but if you are getting a visa under (ii) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. It's a chicken and egg situation. If you want to come to live in the US then, as a British citizen, the only realistic options you have are (ii) or (iii) in my list above. I hope this helps, but from what you have said there is very little hope that you will be able to get a visa to work in the US. Not only that, but from 2004 there is going to be a two thirds reduction in the number of visas issued under (ii) above, and a restriction in the number of visas issued under (iii) above, to about 50% of the number of visas currently issued per annum of that type. |
