How can I live in the USA without having to marry a US citizen?|176469

I_m a UK citizen, born and lived in London all my life and I hate it here. My dream is to live in The USA one day, but how do I apply to live there without having to marry a US citizen? I have qualifications and am willing to work of course. I_ve heard that the USA does not welcome UK citizens for green cards etc...

You have as good a chance of moving the the U.S. as U,S. citizen has of moving to the U.K. It is very difficult either way. Moving to a new place seldom makes an unhappy person happy...and it is heck of a lot of work. As a Citizen of the U.K., you have the opportunity to choose many other places to immigrate to that would be much easier than U.S. Every county has its imperfections...we just don_t seem to see them easily...we tend to idealize other places. Anyway...if you want to apply to immigrate, you can do it just like everyone else does...through the Diversity Lottery. See site below for immigration info. By the way, _COLIN_ is very misinformed. If a foreigner marries an American, that person still needs to g through the immigration application process...narriage just does not do it. Then, if they divorce before 2 yers , the immigrant is automatically, andpromptly deported...these reg are inplace to prevent the very thing he is suggestng.

i don_t know try a passport or something or look more into the Internet there has to be something

Easy solution.
Its the states---right?
OK
Draw up a pre nuptial agreement.
Marry on Monday, and divorce on Tuesday.
he gets his agreed dollars, you get what you want.
Its called business

get a work visa, my friend came here from lithiuania and has been here 2 years now, he loves just go get a work visa.

I dont know about now, but many years ago (1993) ,my ex_s uncle wanted to come over. He was allowed to visit, but could not live here. He worked for a company that wanted to open an office here, would have created many jobs, and yes he was turned down and basically told the US had its quota of british at that time. My ex mother in law came over many many years ago, from England and had to be sponsored. The best thing to do now is to go online and look for a legitimate immigration site to get info. Good luck.

get a job there first, then go from there. The usa does welcome uk citizens, but since 9/11 it_s nigh on impossible to get a green card.

I_ve never heard about America not welcoming UK citizens.
