Where To Start???

14 years ago
Hi all,

I'm completely new to this and could use some help/advice...

I've wanted to move to the USA for many years now and think I've finally plucked up the courage to do something about it.

I'm not really sure what is required of me; I have been onto the US Embassy website and there are many forms and lots of information and I just don't know where to start.

I live in the UK presently and don't qualify to enter the Green Card Lottery program.

There doesn't seem to be many, if any, ways of securing a job prior to leaving, and I really don't like the idea of marrying an american for the sake of gaining access!

Any help would be much appreciated.

It would also be great if there's anyone in the USA (or other countries) wanting to chat/make friends.

Thanks in advance

Toni
