What is the best why to move me and children to america?

Question

I would like to move me and my children to america to make a fresh start. Any advice on the best way to go about it.

I live in the uk.

I have relatives and friends in the uk when i search on line can get a bit confusing thats why asking the question children are 12 and two 5 year olds.

I used to be a civil servant for the MOD and have also got secretarial skills and shop management skills. Have also met someone who is american but did not want to rush in to it.

Answer 1

Our oldest son lives & works in London UK and has lived with work VISA in Europe like 5 years. He found the love of his life, a girl half Polish and half Irish but it's doubtful if he/they will ever come home to the USA permanently bec they prefer Europe and she is closer to her family, relatives and friends...

Unfortunately I believe the only legal way you and your children could move permanently to the USA is with the proper VISA from the US Embassy, and without special skills or unless you married an American citizen your chances of staying in the USA permanently, finding a full-time job etc diminish greatly.

Then again, here is your opportunity to challenge yourself to acquring a skill/trade that the USA indcates is in short supply.

Answer 2

Best wishes Jo Jo. You obviously have all you need, what with your children etc, so I would sell everything here and buy new in America. It'll save hauling all your things with you. Just take a few toys, games, and colouring books for the children on the flight...

Answer 3

Depends on how old are your children. Where you are coming from. Who do you know in America. How many people you are bringing over.
Are they old enough for school or college. If so they could come on a student visa.
Do you have a degree and work experience to get a work visa
Do you know someone here that you can have the children go visit on a vacation visa and then apply for permanent status.

There wasnt enough information here to answer the question properly.

Answer 4

You'll either have to marry an American citizen, be a millionaire, or have a job of high ranking quality, (Eg: Brain surgeon, heart specialist, etc) something that they want. Don't even think of going over for a holiday and staying, my girlfriend knows somebody who did this, had a job and everything, but because a police car hit her during a chase she couldn't give them her details and she got deported - she can NEVER return there.

Answer 5

Y!A is more about sarcasm and having fun than getting real answers... though you may get one or two. I unfortunately don't know the proper process to apply for citizenship but I'm sure you can find out by calling the US embassy in your country. Or probably just by typing it into a Google search.

Call up the US embassy in London and have a chat with them about your options. Forget trying to get reliable information online.

Contact the American consulate office near you.

Answer 10

First step get passports, then go to the US embassy to get visas.
Do not move to the US and live illegally, it is not worth it.
Do you have family or friends there? Perhaps they can help you, they can tell you how they moved.
