UK citizen wants to work in the USA...what profession should I go inn?
Hi I would like to move to US for a lengthy period of time eventually residing there :) however I know this is very difficult to do :/.......Anyway I always had the idea that I would go in to teaching and when I graduate I can go straight over as it is classed as a profession, I now realised it is a lot more complicated than it sounds..... What professions are wanted out there..what field should I go in to, I don't mind putting the effort/studying in if it means I can get to my dream. btw. although I've got a degree (in Sports Studies) im not the brightest so please don't put nursing and doctors thanks for reading

Sorry, but we DO need doctors (GPs and OB-GYNs) especially; engineers, computer programmers, etc. The rest we grow ourselves. Just sayin'

Let's run down your qualifications and reasoning one more time: 1. You think it would be good to live in the USA 2. You have no expertise in any area outside of sports. 3. You think that being a teacher will get you here, but you don't know what you would teach, or have any particular passion for a subject or a technical skill. 4. You admit to not being the brightest of minds. Geez - You'd fit right in. Good luck!

How about you get into a profession that's slowly shipping its workers overseas to the UK. Then you can go right back where you came from and quit doing your part to over-inflate the population in my country...... prick.....

Nursing is absolutely in demand........or any other Degree in the medical field requiring a bachelor's for that matter.

Pick a visa There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US: (1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen. (2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas) (3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas) (4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship. (5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas) (6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas) (7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years? (8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation (9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you. The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) .. But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©
