Re: emgrating to USA advice wanted please


Hi all, i am thinking of relocating to the US, thanks to a change in
job which allows to live pretty much anywhere on the planet..

I am a UK citizen, 31 years old, with a long term partner and 2
children, though unmarried. I work in the offshore industry off the
African coast. I will continue to be paid in UK Sterling wherever i
live, hence the US is very attractive right now.

How will my circumstances stand regarding US immigration, particularly
citizenship and residency visas. My partner would like to be able to
work so a Green Card would be desirable, and perhaps in the future
working in the US Oil Indstry would be desirable, so a green card for
myself at some point also.

I realise that i wont be working within the US, however i will be
bringing a very good wage (�£60k+) to the economy, and will be
paying US taxes whist there - not to mention the amount of air travel
i do to the benefit of US airlines.

Can anyone advise what my overall situaton would be please?

Unless the job is with a US Employer who is willing to sponsor you to
live and work in the US, the US is the exception to that statement.

As I would have thought would most other countries.
