where in usa should i move to?

Question

im from uk so does that make a difference?

Answer 1

You're from the UK, why in Gods name would you want to move to the USA? Land of the Free, home of the wierd.
Where you can own a gun and get married before you can drink an alcoholic drink. Where a cat up a tree makes prime time news and where patriotism and war are favoured above all else? Do you really want to live there? The UK isn't perfect but it's home. How can you want to be somewhere else?

Answer 2

There are a whole host of 'reasons' for Why living outside the US would possibly restrict your choices in where to live in the US.

1: Do you have any form of American citizenship?

2: Do you have any form of qualifications that they might need and thus allow you access?

3: Do you live with the understanding that 'you can just move there'?

If your answer is 'No' to 1 & 2, then what is it that gives you the idea that you can simply 'just move there'?

''Just In Case'' that you are unaware of it, if you live in the UK and are in fact a citizen / subject, then you have a right to go and move to any of the other member countries (I've now lost count of just how many there are!) within the EU.

The new language might be a barrier to certain areas of a life there, but then I've encountered similar problems in the US too.


With the lack of additional information here that might be helpfull in giving you a more informative answer, I think it might be a good idea if you were to stay put ~ for the time being.

Sash.

Answer 3

First of all why move there from the UK for gods sake? it's not all land of milk and honey or anything, believe me i know i almost did it, fortunately after being ripped off by a money hungry ***** i woke up and realised i was better off here in the good old UK. but if you're intent on going for it, first of all you have to have a valid reason for going there that will satisfy the rigid immigration control. Basically there are three ways of legal entry, marry a US citizen, have a job of work there to go to (that cannot be filled by a US citizen) or be able to invest in a business there that will employ at least 10 US citizens.
Once these requirements are satisfied then comes the trickier bit, first you have to fill in all the paperwork, then you may or may not get a visa depending on how they feel that day. once you have a visa and have entered the country, you have to have financial stability, ie be able to support yourself to 125% of the poverty level in the state in which you wish to live, each year for ten years, in the state of texas for instance this means you have to have assets equalling $25,000 per year to a total of 10 years = $250,000 minimum, you can apply for a green card for citizenship after two years, but will not be entitled to any benefits for ten years, you will also have to be able to pay any medical bills that may present themselves to you, i know you can get insurance for this but even that isnt cheap, a friend of mine from michigan pays $600 a month for basic medical insurance. then there are the costs of opticians, dentists all that to find as well, oh boy its fun, to give you an example, i have epilepsy, here in the UK i get all my treatment and drugs free, in the US for one months supply of one type of meds a lone i had to pay a $20 fee to see the doctor $15 for the prescription and then $300 for the pills themselves, go figure huh?. Also while the cost of living may appear lower there, it isnt, the price you see on the shelf in our shops is what you pay, in the stores in the US you see a price on the shelf and think great i'll have that, then you get to the till and they add purchase tax onto each item you buy, and the % varies from state to state, some you pay more some less, basically remember the old axiom, the grass is always greener on the other side............................ until you get there

Answer 4

It makes a lot of difference to know a) how old you are; b) do you plan to work if you have a work permit, etc; c) Are you loaded with pound sterlings?

West Coast(California) great but VERY VERY expensive and now with the Mexicans taking over there, it is difficult to find a job or anything else.. The East coast is very expensive and jobs hard to find also..

I can not advise anymore because I do not know the answers to the questions above

Answer 5

If you move to Portland you better have webbed feet. It rains there all the time. California has many climates. Just check all the various cities on the web and they will tell you all about themselves and the type of weather they have. Take your pick. You can have desert, mountains, lakes, rivers, snow, heat, oceans, etc. A lot to choose from.

Answer 6

Try somewhere that the weather is similar to the UK. If you are not used to the extreme cold/hot, you won't like the location.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Try www.findyourspot.com it asks several questions, probably takes 10-15 mnutes and then it will give several suggestions of cities you might enjoy along with info on the various cities. My husband and I took it separately and came up with a few matches. We moved a year ago and love our town. : )

Answer 8

Move to Pahrump, Nevada. Its a great town with over 300, 000 people and hot girls!!

Answer 9

Kansas if you like the changing of the seasons and cowboys

Answer 10

San Fran would be a good place for ya
