Question by Zatana100*: How do you manage relocating and visa requirements/employment?
I plan to relocate from the United Kingdom to Nevada, USA. I’ve been there before for scientific research and for family reasons. I applied for jobs from the UK but nothing promising so far. I am a secretary with admin and reception experience. The best chance is to apply when I am in Nevada.
The Problem: I am a tenant with my own furniture in the UK. I would have to explain to the employer, that I would have to return to the UK to terminate my tenancy. I would contact my UK landlord from Nevada to terminate the contract. So I only have to return for the shipping of my furniture. This may take 14 days only. I also contact the embassy for a permanent work / business visa. My current visa is still valid, but not for employment.
As I am single, I still have a chance to get married. My relative suggests, that’s the easiest way. As a matter of fact, I have a few connections in Nevada and could discuss this with them.
I’d be grateful for some advice and how you solved relocation problems with visa requirements and employment.

Answer by Frank
You cannot move to the US without a job and visa in place ..or a fiancee visa visa
visa are only issued in your home country …not in the US
the minimum requirement is a degree ,…but a
Master is preferred
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)applications next received on 1st April 2014
(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 tere is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©
