A Green Card for the USA - why would I want one, at the moment at least?

well to start off I would say jobs are not alot here in te U.S.A. right now and money is hard to get for alot of people right now. A far as people welcome here there is alot liveing here right now that are from other places. I know alot of people here need help who have lived here all their life and know some who came here live better than those who have always been here. So to think on these things all depends on why they come here and what purpose. To get a start one needs to have something to start with.

Hi Astonysh,

Most of the European countries would suffered very
badly due to this current economic crisis and also millions
of peoples are unemployed or underemployed, so they are struggling
for the life and many of them live the life without job and without
money, so the life is really miserable, in that condition why we need
to have the Green Card for USA, better to be here at least in our own
country to have some jobs to have the beautiful life with more supports
from all of our friends in our own country.

Have a nice day.

Hi Tony, as usual the box above has just summed everything up so perfectly, apart from not noting that you are not in your own country but a foreign country.
If you read the politics section I'm sure you'll know that the US is about to become either a communitst state or a military state so possibly best avoided but if its the former then the religious bit won't matter as it will all be banned anyway. Maybe there's one of those schemes going there, I can't remeber the name, is it positive quota or something. They could make one up for Englishmen living in Germany and then you'll be guaranteed a job. Or was it positive discrimiation, Let me know as it will bug me until I think of the right word.

LOL. Those advertisements anger the Americans as well. Jobs are scarce here and for an agency to offer the jobs to foreigners, well that doesn't endow foreigners to Americans. I think they are running the advertisements to sucker people to spend the money to travel here, buy houses here, and then to get "stuck" here searching for a job. The world's economy is in trouble, so don't let people make money off of your aggravation. Once you get here you won't have an income and that would be very aggravating. If you want a job here look for it yourself and get your own green card without going through a "middle" man.

Of late I know exactly what you are saying. We are in the same situation here that you are there, just a couple of years short of your age. The Michigan area is very hard hit and many are living with family and holding their breath as to what will happen next. I see no problem that you are an atheist. I think this time in our world is an opportunity to step outside of what we have always believed about making a living and look at the opportunities that no one is talking about. I have a nephew that is graduating from college this year as an IT. He has a very meager job at the time in the IT area but spends a lot of time helping others with what he knows and for some reason he always has enough. He does not charge those he helps but it always seems to work out. I have had two relatives get jobs just recently where their jobs are much better than the ones that were lost. The new jobs are just amazingly better and they would have never been able to step into these positions if they had not lost their original jobs. We are still waiting for our income to increase, thinking positive, and doing all that can be done to ensure a good ending. Life is certainly uncertain anywhere but I am certain that we can all make a positive difference in the middle of it all. I wish you well on a job that your years of experience can surely give a company somewhere more than what they could dream of. After all there is no substitute for experience.

If your in IT yeah theres a stronger chance to get a job here, much better than most americans, I say go for it.

Even with the stark economy this country is still one of the better countries to be in. We have an unemployed rate of 9.8% and i am not going to lie, it is going to get worse before it gets better. But guess what, it is going to get better no matter what people say. Many are just scare because they don't know what the future holds for them.
There are still opportunities available in this country, it may not be as much as before but there are still jobs out there in different communities.
People also need to get innovative and create jobs for them selves, don't wait on someone to offer you a job. This will definitely help the economy grow.
These overseas agencies need to stop advertising for individuals to apply for green card to work in the USA. The little work here is to supply its citizens for survival.

I don't think it's actually the government that advertises these things. I think the ad is just hoping to encounter a few people who click on it, and it will actually be a thing where you pay for help or something. Or it's a scam.

I like where I live, so I don't really see the point in moving, but some people might move because of the industry they work in, their family, or a new relationship.

I can tell you that this is almost certainly not the American government advertising and, like most ads on Mylot, is probably spam.

But I can assure you that being an atheist or a foreigner shouldn't be an issue..

I think they should hold off for now. And why indeed. Maybe our economy may stop the dash of illegals... heres hopin!
