"thank u sally have u ever been therw or " My daughter and her husband went there in January. Although he has a job waiting for him he still hasn't received his Green Card so he can't work and it could be another six months. My daughter has an Academic visa so he can remain there as her "dependent spouse" until he can start work. | |||

"If you go to work in the USA you might do better to find work before you go and visit on a work visa for a fixed period. You can't just buy a one way ticket and hope for the best on a tourist visa because you'll likely be stopped at the airport. The USA has two very common languages one of these is Spanish if you're not fluent in Spanish you will struggle to get work. If you want to do it properly you need enough money to survive at least a year in one place without working. Apply for a Green card and once you have that you can apply for a social security number in your state. The American health care system is terrible and over priced. A simple visit to the A&E (Emergency Room) can cost thousands of dollars. UK qualifications don't really mean that much to most Americans. " Not true it depends on the insurance plan you choose. I am a pharmacist in the UK average salary is up to 60k . Here I make 130k with my insurance on anything is covered. 500 dollar deductible. Out of pocket expense weekly is 42 usd. It's how you choose what insurance you want. | |||

"im currently living in uk want to start a fresh live in usa these the jobs i could do tree surgeon bus driver /coach lorry driver i want to know where beat oppurtunities are can some one point me in the right direction please thank you " Forget the usa unless you have £1 million in savings where you can start a business with 6 employees minimum. I had a friend relocate to Canada over 20 years back as a tree surgeon but he had a road accident across there and is no longer with us. If you can find a company who has offices in USA you could apply to work for them and then request relocation, as long as you do not have any convictions/police record. You cannot even enroll in the green card lottery when you live in the UK | |||

Many Americans self medicate because they can't afford care. " Earlier you said it would be difficult to get a job without Spanish language skills. Incorrect, I just checked the main agency site for Salem OR, of 6,197 job ads, just 652 openings even mention Spanish. Away from the West Coast, Florida and the border states there is even less demand for Spanish. As for healthcare, to say that the system is terrible is also an ill-informed generalism. Since 2010 the Federal Assistance programme and Medicaid can (I stress can) provide cover for the poorest Americans even with underlying health issues. Even someone on the equivalent of the UK mean salary of £31k per annum would have most of the premia paid by the government. Sadly, and here I don't disagree, the vast majority of "Americans" without any cover are undocumented aliens, and for obvious reasons. My family has experienced healthcare in the US - and yes, we were insured - and I can only say the healthcare there is first class: no wait times, same day assessments, and extensive checks that we couldn't believe. My son has a condition which underwent a full day long assessment which lasted 10 minutes here. When I was ill with unexplained sweats, I was seen the same afternoon and underwent 2 hours of every test imaginable. Many of the healthcare plans cover the ever burgeoning substance abuse problems and also include social care costs. My premium was $440/month admittedly with the deductible covered by my employer. Roughly the same as you'd pay in National Insurance (excluding employer contribution), the premia are tax deductible in a country with lower income tax and I'd argue lower cost of living especially housing. As for things like cancer: 5 year survival rates in the US are 10-50% better (depending on type of cancer) than the UK pre-covid, and 4 of the top 5 cancer treatment centers worldwide are in the US. The world's leading authority on autism is based in Salem and at OHSU in Portland. Sweeping statements are so easy to make. Oh and by the way, my wife works in the NHS. | |||

"You dont need $1million, you can open a business for around $60-100k and get a visa, also none of the visas require 6 employees, the EB-5 which requires a $500-900k investment requires you create 10 fulltime jobs for American residents, the E2 visa which is the one I state above requires your business plan has room to hire at least 1 American worker as you initially grow and then more as you keep expanding. Its very possible to move to the usa on a legitimate visa" But the visa you are referring to confers no right of residency beyond the life of the business. So if your business fails you could easily be forced to leave the US. Similarly there is no guarantee of continuing residency for your children. | |||

Yes that is true, but providing the business is in operation and growing there are a number of avenues you can look into to convert into a GC 1. EB1C as you have proven your success 2. EB2NIW same reason as above 3. EB-5 You've hit $1m in revenue and hired 10 employees 4. Have a spouse convince and employer to sponsor them for eb2/eb3 as they get a work permit from the day you enter the USA and employers are much more likely to sponsor if you're already there. 5. Kids get an Esucation visa while still in Uni - then if in country for more than 5 years and prior to thier 16th birthday they qualify for the DACA exemption | |||

"Look if you really want to move to a country that is true capitalist, offers tremendous amount of opportunities with work hard and earn hard , US is the right choice. With US dollar is now almost in parity with GBP, many people are thinking about it. Many people crib about medical system in US, but when you have a right insurance, either from your pocket or through your employer, you are sorted. Unlike NI, top end medical insurance premium cost is fixed, it does not increase as you earn more. So if you make 100k or Millions, your and top end medical insurance cost you the same. Salary: Sky is the limit with low tax, so you save more. Stock options and bonuses runs into multi 100ks or in Millions, unlike UK where these are in lower side of 3 or 4 digits. PAYE worker make more money in US even after paying medical insurance and taxes than average UK worker. Second, If you live in Tax efficient states, you save more, especially Texas or Florida. Best Uni: Although they are expensive, but nothing can beat Harvards, MITs, Whartons, Stanfords and Yales of the world True Multicultural: don’t have to explain this Kids: if they are born in US, they are US citizen, Unlike UK, they don’t have to wait for their Parents to get ILR which normally takes 5 yrs time. Weather: You have lots of choices, but be careful with Tornadoes and Hurricanes Food: Umm, delicious - especially when you are looking for variety and range. Don’t think everyone gobbles up fat and cheese all the time. Social security: None, you eat what you kill unlike UK, you won’t find much support if you are jobless Crime: It’s high, but pick a place with low crime rate just like what you do in UK when you buy it rent a house. " you are correct if you concentrate on your loved ones and not the general" socialistic " behavior you can achieve anything you goals require. | |||
