I am British and living in France, I would like to move to the USA with my family, is it very difficult?

Answer 1

Not really, though it can be time consuming.
But you can come here, & go thru process anyway.

Or, like the mexican illegals...come here anyway, and be
2nd class and get all kinds of services without paying for it or being consistantly unfair to the 'legit' citizens.

I hope you choose the former, as you & your family will be better for it.

Answer 2

Unless you have pots and pots of money, are a refugee or win the diversity lottery, you will need a sponsor. Sponsors can be either family or work-related.

Family sponsorship can take a long, long time unless you are the spouse, fiancee, or underage child of a US citizen. There's no waiting list for these types-except for the paperwork processing time- but for siblings, adult children and parents the wait can be years.

Employment visas are generally faster, depending on what you do for a living. For most jobs, your potential employer will need to prove first that there is not an abundant supply of local people who do what you do. (labour certification.) That is done at the state level. Once a job is certified the employer can apply for you to come over. Depending on the state, the application for labour certification and immigration can be filed at the same time.

Upon arrival, you can apply to have your temporary worker status adjusted to permanent resident status. You can file that for yourself, but not until you get here.

Answer 3

It is easier for Europeans to move into the US. Much easier if you have a profession (skilled or educated). America needs more professionals and less ( poor uneducated and unskilled workers) from Central and South America. Many immigrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia come to this country with a skilled trade or education. But 90% of Mexicans and unskilled workers are coming in to the US- not contributing to the "greater" good of this country. I know many immigrants who move back to their countries once they make enough money to live well in their home land. You are more then welcomed into this country. There is a less restriction for Europeans to immigrate to this country then any other groups of people. Educated and skilled.

Answer 4

Nothing is difficult, but I don't know how much you know about the U.S. culture, I mean the catty things between U.S. and Europe, especially Great Britain.

There are things you might need to tolerance (usually people's prejudice and stubbornness), other than that, developing your living environment should not be a problem, it just takes sometime.

Best of luck!

Answer 5

It is not difficult... bring your family by plane and the households in a ship, oh.. and get a place to live first

Answer 6

No difficult because George Bush is a good friend of Tony Blair.

Answer 7

Just go to Mexico, and walk across the Border in Texas, as an
illegal immigrant, you will get all sorts of rights.

Answer 8

Unless you have relatives and/or a job set up it can take you 12 years after applying for immigration.

Answer 9

Are you crazy? Leave France to move to USA?Crazy!!!

Answer 10

U don't need to come here.
Europe is much more civilized, America is full of arrogant people these days
