(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was planning to move to the states (and work for a friend that lives in DC - yes washington dc) couple of years ago but with the economy and all I put it on hold. And cant really reach my old friend any longer so dunno whats up. But guess asking americans here could give some help...

How impossible is it to get a green card now these days?
And how hard is it finding work now in the US? The economy is better yes but still people are out of work. And also, is it possible to work as a night guard or do I need some kind of education/being american citizen? Let me know, still think about it all the time. Really wanna live in the states for a year or so, to take part of local traditions, learn how it is over there, try all the food and also work more on my english and get try to get rid of most of my big swedish accent when I talk /facepalm

Would like to live somewhere around tornado activity aswell, always been interested in mother nature and mostly tornados and thunderstorms. So that would be a + to live close to the tornado valley :angel:

Other then that, my working history is in the logistics. Warehouse/fork lift driving. And also security guard in Finland (watchmen or what u call it). No criminal record.

Any info is appreciated Smile

One word - IMPOSSIBLE , the US are way too strict UNLESS you work for a company who has US contacts & can transfer you

If no job then expect alot of rejections & many years & at LEAST 10,000Usd.

My familys gone through it so that's personal experience

impossible unless your line of work is something that america is short of or you already work for a company and get sent there

Get a Holiday visa , then go to Vegas and marry an American hooker (It might cost you a few $$$ extra). Congratulations! You may now claim your green card.

The government stopped people doing that a long time ago, You now have to stay with your wife for 5years minimum, then you may claim for your green card but you still CANNOT get divorced otherwise the green card will be revoked i think it has to last 8years before you can actually divorce
