I'm Seriously Contemplating Moving To The USA

[eejit101]

Figured i should post something "origional"

What im thinking is after the end of the summer season here in Blackpool (which is busy and fun) im gonna move there. Not sure where exactly, but i know ill land in MN and go visit our lovely forum admin bloke. From there its a case of finding a job, and accomodation.

Obviously I would want to travel round a bit, so id definatly go down to LA, LV, and NYC, any maybe Chicago (preferably when the Braves are there). Everyone on here is more than welcome to arrnange visitions from your favourite welsh person! (me, jsut incase)

So, what i was wondering is.....

Does anyone know what Id need in order to do this?

I know i need a passport, duh. I know i need a bit of money saved before i come.

Job wise, i can always look when i get there, ill have my croupier license sorted by then so casino work would be fun. Im awesome running a bar, im british too so that shud help. Id do anything as long as its fun...

Do i need a VISA, or insurance, or what?

Anyone know?

If so, let me know!

Post links if they are helpful, or advice, or anything.

I have a British friend who was an Au Pair in the States for a few years, I'll ask him what you'll need the next time I talk to him and let you know.

And if you come visit Klink and I in OK (if you're stateside by then we'll invite you to our wedding!), we'll give you all the Double Stuf oreos you want!

As a side note, how many people on here would be able to/interested in attending our wedding? It won't happen until at least next summer, maybe sometime in 2011 depending on some various complicated financial things.

Ill come if its close enough!

If I had the money Tay I would def. go. I would love that.

There are several progams that the U.S government has in place for people of a another country to be able to come over and start your own business, maybe a gas station will work out good, but it wont be fun i think. You can also come in on a student visa which could get you in for 4 years or more, depending on the school and what your doing, and during that time you could be applying for permanent citizenship, or maybe marry in while your here. A charming lad like yourself should have no trouble at all!

Eejit we really have enough problems here without one more Brit coming over. I hear Austrailia is really nice you would fit right in there, you already have the accent...........LOL

You can stay at my cabin at 6000 feet for 7 months free rent.
No bills to pay. Just water my garden.

You will have to grow a beard to fit in.

I can hook you up with my best friend Simon.
He has a house in Plumas county (empty 5 months a year) and
a bed and breakfast in Nelson British Columbia.
You could stay for free there too. You just have to clean and do repairs,
cause he's a slob. But he has lots of money.

I don't know if this will help you but take a look at this.

•Inform the tax authorities that you are leaving.

Don't worry about this one Eejit.
You got to have money first, for them to care.

Start in Canada and work your way down (I hear Canada will take anyone these days).

We'd definitely love to have you! It'd be awesome! Woo Lori at my bachelorette party! lol.

Don't do it. The economy in this country is in the toilet and will probably be there for a long time. Stay where you are, in a country that has decent culture as well. You'd be better off moving to Malta than here.

lol, the UK is about to hit the Stone Age

(better than GloBug, who is hitting the stoner age)

(disclaimer - that was a joke, couldnt resist, no harm intended, i love GloBug and would have his children)

[eejit101]

lol u will be deported like the illegals. then wont even allow u in past customs. they will make u take a flight back to blackpool. just get one and u will have no problems. also if u didnt have a accent then maybe u could get away with finding a job but its a dead give away. lol

[navuta]

Wish u luck<>.
At the tables also.!
