Immigration to the USA?

Question

I live in england (uk), i have tryed for years to look for a way i could immigrate to the united states. Does anyone know anyway at all how i could immigrate over there as its really hard?

Also why do the states make it so hard to immigrate over there, i could undertand asian countrys (no racism intended) but why so hard for the people from the UK, we are ment be like brothers.

Answer 1

If you can get a job here, your employer will get a green card. Once you have the green card, you're on track for citizenship unless you commit a crime.

You could come over on a student visa, then get an American girl to marry you--mission accomplished.

Answer 2

Can't you get a job sponsor? I understand it is a timing game, you have to basically apply by April 2 this year to get one or they H1Bs will all be gone for the year.

I'd totally rewrite our immigration if I could. It is family based and once we gave amnesty to a few million in 1986 their family took up quite a lot of the available visas. I think we need to limit family preferences to spouse and minor children so we can let in others who might have more to offer.

Also, if you weren't in the EU it would be different, but if you had ability to come automatically so would all of they....

Sorry, and good luck!

Answer 3

If you're really so intent on coming here, marriage to a U.S. citizen would be a good bet, but remember that the main thing coming into consideration is how valuable you are to the American work force, and while remembering that, take into consideration the massive unemployment rate; we have too many workers, skilled and unskilled, so unless you have occupational skills that are deemed valuable to the progress of the nation's economy, then your chances are slim. Also, one of the main barriers is just a whole load of bureaucratic red-tape bullshit. Don't feel sorry for your self, because this country is in the progress of shipping a civil rights activist who has been of immense value to the progress of the Latino-American community back to El Salvador, where he will doubtlessly be murdered on the spot for defying the nation's leaders in speeches he's made.
On the other hand, you're in the U.K.. Besides dental coverage, I don't see why the Hell you'd want to move to the U.S. right now. Shoot, go to Canada, if anything!

Answer 4

The only way you can come to America is to fly to Mexico city,and see a fellow named Moses,you can't miss him he's a very large Black Dude! He hangs out in Crystals Bar and Canteena on Garcia Blvd, and Dias(10th)he can help you get across the border.

Answer 5

Why are we meant to be like brothers?

The american revolution happened a few years ago, that kind of severed ties to England a bit.

Nowadays we are quite involved with Latin America and the Caribbean.

Personally, I would like to immigrate to England. It is so disfunctional here.

Get a job with a skill, and they will cover your greencard for you. Either that or marry a US citizen.

Answer 6

It is not that hard. It is just slow because SO MANY PEOPLE WANT IT!

Amazing considering some of the same people feel free to hate America.

I think maybe there's more to this story.

Answer 7

Perhaps you're overqualified. The US government doesn't seem to be interested in anyone that can do more than menial tasks. Can you be a CEO? We sure could use some cheap CEOs.

Answer 8

marry some US citizen or get a job here. I heard there are some Green card lotto going on..maybe u can try that.

Answer 9

Maybe for the protection from terrorists. Security has gotten really tight.

Answer 10

DONT! One of my friends immigrated here from the UK by marrying a citzen. They screwed up his paperwork and now he is in a detention center for their mistake. I was born in the US and I am planning on getting out before its to late. It is becoming a police state nightmare just like England.
