What degree can I come to US with?
Hi everyone.
I want to move to the USA, however I don't have a degree. I have been working for a Education Recruitment Agency (providing supply and permanent teachers to schools) as a payroll and safeguarding administrator for 3 years. I would love to stay in the same line of work - or very similar at a higher level. I have 2 children ages 6 and 3 and a partner. What degree level would give me a chance of a move to the US? I am looking at accounting degrees.
Any advice is welcome π Thanks

You would probably need a Masters degree, remember that the US system is very different from the UK one. Perhaps the question would be better off in the US immigration forum?

We have several excellent US forums...
USA - British Expats
At the top of the page you will see a link for the US Immigration Forum. It would be best if you reposted your questions about immigration to the US in there. Before you do I suggest you read through the link Mike gave you...Pulaski's Ways. If you fit into any of the categories listed...you may have a chance of moving to the US.
Why don't you join us in the General or Trailer Park forums to find out more about life in the US? I look forward to seeing you there.

A business in the US looking for an "accountant" would expect a Certified Public Accountant qualification, which is obtained after obtaining an accounting degree.

The USA is somewhere I have always wanted to live. I love the people and the lifestyles and place, a beautiful country. The town I live in has nothing to offer my children growing up, I want the best I can get for them. I will have a look at agencies with offices in the US. How likely is the company to transfer you though? Thanks for the help

Getting an accounting degree won't make you eligible for accounting jobs, you would only be eligible for bookkeeping work, and, I guarantee that no employer is going to stump up $5,000-$8,000 for visa and legal fees to hire a foreign bookkeeper when there are plenty of suitably qualified candidates already in the US and ready to start work in 14 days (typical notice period in the US).

So I wonder if a move within the UK might achieve what you're after? Good luck with whatever you decide though.

You will also face health insurance costs which will be $600-$2,000/mth for a family of four, plus medical costs not covered by insurance, which could be zero if you don't use any medical services, but if say you broke a leg in the first week of January, and the total bill is $50,000, if you had the $2,000/mth insurance you might have to pay the first $1,000-$1,500, but with the $600/mth insurance you might have to pay the first $8,000 dollars (the "pay first" amount is annual, so any use of medical services later in the year would be almost entirely covered). FWIW the cheaper insurance is likely the best deal if you're in good health, but you have to be prepared to pay the first $x,000 if you get sick.
