I am 25 and currently live in England. My closest (and only) friends live in the states. I travel to them for a few weeks each year but I would like to move out there and be with them - as the travelling is getting to be a bit much and very expensive.
I did not do well in school and have been working in a customer service job for the same clothing company for 5 years. I don’t have any commitments here and can just pack up and leave at anytime, really.
My friends are moving out in a few months and have said I can move in and live with them (they’ve been begging me to move to the states for years). So I will have somewhere to live when I get there.
I will be visiting them again in April for 3 weeks. 1 week in Colorado and 2 weeks in Nebraska. Nebraska is the state I would be moving to.
How could I make this possible? Would it be best to do a working visa or is there another visa type I should apply for?
No way. You’re not going to qualify for any immigrant visa.
Your best bet outside of finding a US citizen spouse is the Diversity Lottery, if you even meet the requirements for that. And the chances of winning are so small, it’s not wordt getting your hopes up.
UK doesn’t qualify for diversity lottery
It did for DV2025 and probably will again next year
Probably not next year, it will likely exceed the threshold.
Really? Some Brits will exceed 50k migration to the US? Are they that “desperate”?
Yes
