You can learn about student visas at the 1st site below. You will need a large savings. A student visa is your best chance. If you want to get a temp.work visa, you must have an employer to sponsor your work visa...so you need to be highly skilled to get an employer. See 2nd site. It is simply not possible for a U.K. citizen to immigrate to the U.S. unless you have a relative to sponsor you or a very rare job skill and an employer sponsor. See 3rd site. Every week dozens of young Brits write in here with a similar question.Most want to go to New York...very impractical as it costs 4 times as much to live there as anywhere else in the U.S. Many young Americans write in wanting to work or immigrate to the U.K....mostly to London, of course! They face the same work and immigration problems. Do investigate a student visa.Thinking about moving to America in a few years, advice?
Minneapolis, its just like New York but smaller, less crowded, nicer ppl, less crime(except north mpls), beautiful sights, and mpls is a very happening place, very trendy and new aged, especially uptown mpls, and if you want to find a more scenic place to live go up north to Duluth, the north shore is one of the most beautiful places in the US
If you want to move here permanently, you should get started on the official paperwork right away. There is a quota on UK citizens allowed to relocate to the US and, evidently, the waiting list is very long. You would need a work permit, meaning you'd have to have a job with an employer willing to sponsor you for the permit. It would be easier if you have a unique skill that is ';in demand'; in the US and not easily filled by citizens here.





A student or visitor's visa are different, but they don't let you stay in US permanently.





The US State Department's website has info on immigration and visas.
