I know the banking group i work for has branches in america everywhere and i'm thinking of moving to America but have absolutly no idea how to go about it. I've gone on uscis but it makes no sense. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

L-1 visa
The United States L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa which allows companies operating both in the US and abroad to transfer certain classes of employee from its foreign operations to the USA operations for up to seven years. The employee must have worked for a subsidiary, parent, affiliate or branch office of your US company outside of the US for at least one year out of the last three years.
Companies operating in the US can apply to the relevant BCIS service center for an L1 visa to transfer someone to the US from their overseas operations. Employees in this category will, initially, be granted an L-1 visa for up to three years.
There are two types of employees who may be sponsored for USA L1 visas:
* Managers/Executives
The legal definition of management and executive roles for these purposes is quite strict, and a detailed description of the duties attached to the position will be required. In particular, the executive or manager should have supervisory responsibility for professional staff and/or for a key function, department or subdivision of the employer. Such personnel are issued an L1A visa, initially for a three year period extendible in two year increments to a maximum of seven years.
* Specialized Knowledge Staff
This category covers those with knowledge of the company's products/services, research, systems, proprietary techniques, management, or procedures. Staff in this category are issued an L1B visa, initially for three years extendible to a maximum of five years.
On completing the maximum allowable period in L-1 status, the employee must be employed outside the United States for a minimum of one year before a new application is made for L or H status.

Seriously? Why would you want to live in Bush country? Well, he is prettier than Camilla.
I can't help you out, have you asked your branch mgr if there is any transfer programs, I had a friend that moved to London through his company a couple years ago, it was quite expensive though

If you all hate America so much, why don't you stay in Britian? So, do you want to bash on America and then come here and make a living off of our backs? If this answer is a little sharp, it is because Liberals in this country are trying to give you foreigners more of a voice than those of us born here, and they have made us angry at you.
Peace.
