Thanks guys for all the replies, you've been so helpful!
Also sorry haven't been able to reply in a while, problems with the internet and such!
Arrghh, i'm very frustrated atm, I don't kknow what to do, what the next step is etc. I'm finishing college in about 6 months and have NO idea what to do when I leave.
I spoke to Connexions (which is a career advice place in England - not very helpful though!) they told me trying to get into America was one of the hardest things and that it costs thousands to simply apply! (my friend corrected this and said it was £500/$500 to apply) I found a website that had a lot of info on getting into America and it pretty much made me realise just how hard it is. I have family in America though: i've only ever met one of them once though =S there all like my Mum's nans and paps, aunties and cousins etc. My dad also has cousins, aunts, uncles etc. out there so i'm thinking perhaps this will help?
Another thing suggested to me was sponsoring? ... though on the website it said even grandparents etc. weren't allowed to sponsor. My parents told me to maybe write to Richard Branson or someone like that and ask if they could sponsor me to go over to America to live (it's a long shot I know) so I was wondering would this help me getting a green card (if I had someone to sponsor me?)
I'm pretty confident that once getting a green card, the move to America will be pretty easy. I've decided I want to go to Pennsylvania so I s'pose it's a good thing that i've made that decision! so yer the only problem is getting the green card ...
If anyone can give me any more advice on all that ^^^ (sorry for the lengthy post!) I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading my babble xx
