The U.S. is one of the most difficult countries to get in to. In my experience, most folks end up here under force of circumstance rather than choice. This is because the system is niche based, and if you do not fit in to one of the narrow opportunities, there is really very little hope.

You've written nothing so far that would make me believe you have a significant chance of making it over here. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and all that.

Yeah thats what i was expecting to be honest :( thanks anyway.

anything is possible remember, it is true especially with our current economic problems it will probably be even more difficult to get it in, and also difficult to find a job, but its not impossible. if you really want to come over here then just get ready for a lot of grueling paperwork and difficulties. but dont think its not possible.

before you obtain your green card you should start thinking about where you want to move, because there is a wide variety of houses, prices, terrain, and people all over the u.s.

And on what basis do you suggest the OP self-petition for a green card? Choosing where you want to go beforehand is totally nonsensical when you have no basis to move here in the first place! US immigration is not just a matter of "grueling paperwork" -- there has to be some basis to the petition.

Ridiculous post IMVHO.

It does seem a bit jumping in at the deep end Kellyanne! However, you could perhaps try a career break/gap/extended holiday over in the States to see what life is like in America, there are lots of gap programmes that do different things like that - and who knows, you might even find it's not the place for you after all!
