Aussie wanting to work and live in the USA?
Answer:
Aw great, now the next waive of immigration is going to be beautiful blondes from down under that actually speak english and like to "mate". The liberals have an answer for this, NO! You are way over qualified and would probably vote republican, therefore, go to Mexico. It's close to California, and I hear a lot of people are leaving, so there is no housing shortage.
any affiliation with a copy cat Al Queda?
Wish i could help you i love Aussies traveled there four or five times... depends on where you live in California it can be very expensive you may have to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet.. good luck mate hope you make it over here..
Hi Missy
The green card working visa takes too long to apply, about a year, they only issue so many and then you have to apply again the next year, A student Visa may be the way to go. You can always go for a 3 month visit on a Tourist I94 Visa Waiver.
What I would do is visit for 3 months and decide if you really want to live here and which state, make contacts, friends, network to get some idea of a career path.
Go back home and apply for either a Student Visa to progress with your career path or Business Visa to open up a Business ($50K required in a US bank account) Some professions (doctors, Nurses, Scientists, Engineers etc) are needed here so you can apply for a working Visa if you are in a Needed Profession. The working visa process takes a long time at least 6 months to 1 1/2 years, so be prepared to wait. (they only allow so many per year)
Another alternative that has worked for some people that I know is to meet someone, marry them, live together for 2 years and prove it with joint bills, banks, rent, tv, gas, water ,electric etc and apply for a spousal Visa. If you can't find someone, there are people that will be in your circle of friends network that will know someone that will marry you for a fee, usually $5000. pay half to start the process and the rest after the final interview where you have to satisfy immigration that you really are man and wife and have been living together for 2 years.
That may sound drastic to some but if you are a normal person with no special skills, they won't give you a working visa/ green card for any long period of time. If you really love the USA and want to stay you will do almost anything to reside here.
If you ever overstay in USA never fly out, get rid of your Visa Waiver and go by road to Mexico and fly directly home or to Europe from Mexico; when you re enter USA on a return ticket with enough funds for your stay weeks later you will be classed as a new visitor and get a 3 month Visa Waiver I94

Nope. It's a piece of cake. Simply fly to Mexico and sneak into the U.S. via the northern Mexico border. We don't bother anyone who comes into our soverign nation that way. Also, you seem to be English speaking. That might pose a problem. Do you sell drugs or have a gang affiliation? Answering 'yes' to any of those two questions might offset any problems that might arise from you being English speaking.
your in London so hop along to the USA Embassy they will tell you all you want to know
