Going about: Moving From England to America ? What is needed?

What would be needed for somebody who wanted to move to America from England. Isn't there some kind of lottery?! What else must you do if ou want to move to US?

Answer:
You can get a visa if you have skills (there are special visas to make up shortage skills, or to get highly skilled people into the country). Or if you marry an American you can fill out some forms. (most likely cost you about 300 pounds, more if you need help filling them in)


You can always do something like Camp America or become a nanny to get a temporary work permit. You can also get a student visa if you enroll in a community college (or a real university, but community college is much cheaper).

if you agree to invest over 500,000 dollars, you can get another kind of visa.

It's much easier to do things the other way round. America has a limit on Brits coming to the US on a regular visa.
yes, you will need some money. best if you have it without depending on the lottery.
Just the necessities...however, you will be delighted that we do have something that most people in England do not have...TOOTHPASTE!
I'll say work on your accent as well. Americans are rather xenophobic against all other cultures. Try to imitate them and mimetize if possible.

Why not moving to Canada rather? It's closer to Brit culture and have free health care...
Just go to Mexico and jump the border....our army is in IRAQ and our Government is insane and does not care.

U must learn to speak english......what language do they speak in England anyway? LOL
Stay on the right side of....pretty much everything. Watch out for traffic coming from the opposite direction as it would in England :-)
probably a visa, a green card & some $$
As soon as you get over there you will need some sort of weapon to protect yourself, preferable a gun : P
Unfortunately, England has too many people coming here to be in the diversity lottery (Northern Ireland is in but the rest of the UK is out.)

However, there are work based visas, study based visas, etc.

Take a look at USCIS.gov
Check with the embassy. I'm sure they have a website. They also have a telephone. Please remember that if all else fails, every cruise ship has stowaways. Americans are much more fond of a British accent than the British are of an American accent. Americans consider a British accent of any sort at all high-class. Before you go, consider that health care in America is unbelievably expensive and the government is no help.
A really big boat or plane.
