Default What can i Do??

Hello

So i want to move to the USA. I have a British Aunt who lives and workes in Boston (married to an American citizen). I would be able to stay with her for as long as i need.

Now im 21, no degree but i have A-Levels. Now i would be interested in doing a degree but i have been told i would find it very hard to get financial aid (my parents would not be able to support me).

A second option is to simply find a job but this would mean getting a working visa which is a near impossibility without a degree.

Am i overlooking something or is there no way im going to be able to do this?

Cheers

See which visa category you fit into and go from there. From what you've posted so far, looks like student is about your only way, if you can find the funds.

Thanks for the link

Looks like student is the only way to go.

I would love to do a degree and i could stay with my aunt. I have no idea how much fees are and i dont think i can get financial aid abroad?

be careful when looking at fees as well - you would not be eligible for 'in state' rates and would need to find the international student figures which you might want to be sitting down when you read them!
