my name is Moustafa Barakat , i am male 26 years old , from Egypt , i am single , i have many skills and i have a good mind also, i work as a graphic designer , and as a fashion designer , and i obtained a bachelor in arts and printmaking , and also a pre master degree , i have many awards in arts , and i appeared in many Egyptian and German newspapers and magazines about my arts .
but Egypt now is a country where its government only take care and look after their needs as a persons , and only after making money , the international situation now is that Egyptians have no pride inside or outside Egypt .
of course some people will tell me , if you have a good mind so why don't you travel outside Egypt and make your future , i tried to go to America , but they refused to let me enter because i was having my art works and my certificates with me , and that makes them mad because i had a tourism visa , and about immigration it's very hard to get it in Egypt , so what can i do?

I'd recommend trying to sell your art work over the internet. Get someone to help you set up a website or look for a group of international artists that you can join in their website.

I'm not saying don't come here legally, but for what you do, you won't believe the competition when you get here. I have worked in places that have bulletien boards, and advertisements like what you do are taken down they're not considered worthy.
My suggestion: EBAY!! I've seen amatuer works of art go for 750-1500 US DOLLARS!! Check it out, see what people buy and go from there!
Whatever you do, if you can afford your masters there, get it there, you have no idea how expensive that is here!
I really don't remember say, if you want to open an art shop, how many there are left, that went out in the 70's.
However, once you get your masters, you many qualify for jobs openings that can't be filled by Americans that have nothing to do with what you studied, they see the masters first and the content second - I've seen it!
The few print shops, commercial, big ones, that I've worked at only primarily hire from within, you'd start at $6.50 USD.
My suggestion is to work where the home office is in America and get transferred.

Why is it so hard for you to take no for an answer?. You cant get everything you want all of the time. Why don't you just try entering another country. It sounds like your main concern is to get out of Egypt not necessarily to get into America. Maybe just go with your second choice of countries to move to.

Find an American Girl and marry her. Don't break any laws to make you an undesirable candidate for citizenship.
Get a Medical Degree, there is a great need for good Drs and Nurses. And you will get a green card easier.
Good Luck!

If you can't make your future in Egypt, you won't make it elsewhere. Believe me, it's a competetive market for your industry out there. The grass isn't always greener and you can't expect to go to another country with no guaranteed income and sponge off their benefits. You need a profession first, not just a skill.

Canada is good choice.
They are not only accepting immigration but encouraging young people and families to go there. They have a aging society and are seeking immigration.
Go to the Canadian embassy in your country and get all the paperwork, its much easier to go there then here. My brother in law moved there from Mexico and he loves it....Hope this helps!

I'm not claiming to an expert, but can you make some contacts via inter-net. Create a website with your art work so it can be seen. From that perhaps you can make contacts to get a working visa.

Try moving to another country first. England, Australia, Japan, and then come to America.

Canada is a good enter point to get to North America, but they are being picky these days.

Why is it that America is the place everyone wants to come to? I don't get it. Maybe I need to post a question: Why does every person want to come to the U. S.? It really baffles me.
