Best way to become US CITIZEN

[America2015]

Hi Guys,

I am a UK citizen, married with 2 kids. House owner, both good working jobs- i have family in the us and its always been my dream to relocate there.

I am looking at jobs over in the US, but bit unsure how everything works, so please is someone could advice me would appreciate it.

If i get a working visa,

How does my family come with me?

will my husband be allowing to work? and kids study? both under 10 years old

What happens after the visa expires?

my long term aspiration is to become a US Citizen as i believe it would offer a better future for my kids, in terms of opportunities.

i have family over there (cousins) is there any way they could help.


Thank you for reading this

The easiest pathway to US citizenship is through marriage to a US citizen. Permanent residency in a year, US citizenship three years later.

Temporary work visas are available for skilled professionals, they allow spouses & kids to come along (and go to school but not work). These temporary work visas do not, on their own, lead to US permanent residency or US citizenship

Permanent work visas are available for foreign workers to fill positions that US employers can prove they can't fill at the prevailing wage. They grant permanent residency to the worker & their spouse+kids, which allows them to apply for US citizenship in 5 years

Cousins are of no help unless they can help you network with employers to obtain a permanent work visa. Skilled workers on temporary work visas get themselves permanent residency the same way, by using their limited time in the United States to network with prospective employers as well as prospective spouses (who may be US citizens or may be foreign workers who themselves obtain a permanent work visa)
