Move to the USA

Maybe some of the US Based Mylotters could better explain for you how things are over there at present for a new arrival..You'd want to consider a bunch of things if you were considering Moving,for example,your entitlement to work,are Jobs available in your kind of work,or Is there an employer prepared to hire you where you're planning to go? What is your migrant status? Can you get a Green Card,or go there as a Student? There would be a lot to arrange to make a succesful move to the US..good luck with your plans..

I have heard about a Green Card Lottery. I wonder if your nationality are allowed to enter it. I met an Irish lady that lived and worked in the USA because she had got in through the Green Card Lottery. My nationality are not allowed to apply. I know a lady that got a four year work visa for Australia. Then she can see if she likes living and working there or not. At the end of her work visa's validity she would have a high chance of getting approved for permanent residency. She is a nurse and that profession is on the skills shortage list. So maybe you could try to get a work visa to try out what it is like to live in America. Australia have a points system. You should find how easy it is to get permanent residency for America. I have traveled to the USA but I wouldn't want to live there permanently. Good luck.

I don't really know much about immigration into the US. I do know that colleges cost a lot of money, especially if you want to get into a good one. There are grants and scholarships, but even really great students that are from the US have problems paying for college with the grants and scholarships, so I am not sure how well a foreign student would be able to pay for these expenses. If you are really serious about it, though, then I would definitely suggest looking into it and finding out what is available and the prices, etc.

I think you should go if you want and have the possibility to do it. I haven't been in the USA but I think is a great country. I see you can well English and the more you know about this country the better for you. I think you should follow your dream.

My thoughts are that everyone wrongly believes that the USA is this great place to make it and have your dreams come true. The USA is just like anywhere else. You gotta bust your butt to get anywhere and even then most of the time it isn't good enough. The chances are if you move there you will be lucky if you get a low paying burger flipping job, even if you have degree after degree. I left the USA for the same reasons so many seem to be trying to go there. It isn't worth it. The USA is not this incredible wonderland that helps everyone and they all end up doing great. It worries too much about everyone else to care about it's own people. My advice stay where you are until you are very well off and then maybe visit the USA to see if it is for you. More often than not it ends up not being the case.

I've always wanted to live in America too. I even considered going to film school in California or New York, but it's just too expensive. There's also the visa to think about and all that. Still, I love American culture and I would still like to visit there someday.

I would suggest that you come here as a student and see how you like it. Figure out what you want to study and then find a college and see how much it will cost. IF you like it then I beleive you have to go back home after you graduate and apply to come here as a non resident and apply for citizenship (which can take a few years). Follow your dream.
