Im In England - Question about America

[TheButterflyEffect]

Hia, i'm new to these boards as i'm from England, I have CF and I stick to the UK forums =P

I'll try to keep this short:

Basically, i'm from England and my absolute dream is to live in America ... I asked a question about this on the UK forums and this forum was reccomended so I was hoping you guys would be able to help me!

I know the basic info, but i'm wondering what increases the chances of me becoming a American citizen (i.e. what increases the chance of me getting a green card in terms of occupation, qualifications etc.) as I am prepared to do whatever it takes. Also will my CF be a problem?

If anyone has any information on exactly how to go about living/moving to America then I would be so grateful!

Thank you!

EDIT: 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.

I'm useless to you... The only thing I wanted to say is if you move here, you have to be real careful about health insurance. I know the UK has a universal system. We big fat do not, and... quite frankly, if you, a parent, or spouse, does not have a good job, you're screwed.

Just a warning. Heh.

We'll I am not sure on how you get your green card, or citizenship but I know if you were to move here and you have a green card you will be able to get SSI/Disability.

I have a friend that is from England, but now lives here with her dad. Both of them only have there green card and she recieves ssi and disability benefits. She too has CF. I'll try and get her to come on here, shes prolly more of help then I am.

Do yourself a favor, and don't come here. My fiance was part of a skilled, educated, professional, white family. The dad was a very skilled mechanic with Ford. The son was a master body smith. The daughter (my fiance) finished dental school. They went about the immigration process properly and legally. They even had a "sponsor" already here, where that person takes on full responsibility for them in every way. It took them something like 13 years to be allowed to come over here.


MEANWHILE, we have several MILLION illegals crossing the border every year. The government doesn't care (by action, not words), and we have recently had one state legalize them to have driver licenses, even if they are fully illegal. Considering you have CF, you are much better off under the English health care system. If you come here, you better hope you are either beyond poor to get on medicaid/medicare (and go beyond what is needed to prove as much, including anyone who lives in your house), or be a dependent or married to someone who has amazing private health insurance.

There are pluses and minuses to every country, and I love my country, and it's original ideals. But generally, in many ways (especially considering your needs), we are ***** now, completely confused, and in general disarray. You are much better off staying there. If and when my mother dies (my last real glue holding me here), I plan on getting dual citizenship in either Canada or England, and moving to either of those two.

Here is how our current medicare works: *IF* you are lucky enough to get onto it (because our system is so taxed, and unless you are blatantly qualified, or illegal/brown/crazy destitute, etc), expect to have a ton of fun dealing with care. As a quick example, I went with the best new package deal out there, without a "donut hole"...Whats a donut hole? It means after you go past X amount of coverage $$ wise, you have to pay 100% of the costs. Then after Y amount (usually like 2500-3000 dollars) the coverage kicks back in, but of course there are still gray areas.

As an example: Anything inhalation medication wise for me, falls under regular medicare, and they only pay like 70%...Pulmozyme alone has a retail cost (monthly supply) of nearly 3000 dollars per month. Do the math. What, 700 bucks just for one medication? Then you have the problems justifying anything out of the "normal", that most old people wouldn't use. Because the system overall is meant to benefit old people, not so much disabled people. Oh and in case I didn't mention it, what race are you? In case you are caucasian, get ready for zero priority, regardless what qualifications you bring to the table.


You would be much better off bronzing up real good in a Caribbean island with fake tanning lotion for a month or two, then getting a ride to Cuba, then finding something that kind of floats, and can kind of get you close to Florida, and then if you are picked up, play on the heartstrings of the bleeding heart citizens, maybe mention some current politician running for the presidency, you would be better off to mention a prominent democrat, maybe Hillary Clinton or Obama. Cry on camera, and dramatically reach out to them asking why you can't be an American and chase the dream...


I'm sure this response will be critiqued, and i'll be called all kinds of things, but I know I speak the truth. Trust me, stay in England. In the long run, you will be better off. If you want to know what it's like to experience the American experience (for the most part), just get fat, and watch our lame tv shows/movies we export to the rest of the world, and listen to crap like the newest Britney Spears/P. Diddy CD's...There, you are now one of us (but with better healthcare!)

As a quick example, I went with the best new package deal out there, without a "donut hole"...Whats a donut hole? It means after you go past X amount of coverage $$ wise, you have to pay 100% of the costs. Then after Y amount (usually like 2500-3000 dollars) the coverage kicks back in, but of course there are still gray areas.

As an example: Anything inhalation medication wise for me, falls under regular medicare, and they only pay like 70%...Pulmozyme alone has a retail cost (monthly supply) of nearly 3000 dollars per month. Do the math. What, 700 bucks just for one medication? Then you have the problems justifying anything out of the "normal", that most old people wouldn't use. Because the system overall is meant to benefit old people, not so much disabled people. Oh and in case I didn't mention it, what race are you? In case you are caucasian, get ready for zero priority, regardless what qualifications you bring to the table.


You would be much better off bronzing up real good in a Caribbean island with fake tanning lotion for a month or two, then getting a ride to Cuba, then finding something that kind of floats, and can kind of get you close to Florida, and then if you are picked up, play on the heartstrings of the bleeding heart citizens, maybe mention some current politician running for the presidency, you would be better off to mention a prominent democrat, maybe Hillary Clinton or Obama. Cry on camera, and dramatically reach out to them asking why you can't be an American and chase the dream...


I'm sure this response will be critiqued, and i'll be called all kinds of things, but I know I speak the truth. Trust me, stay in England. In the long run, you will be better off. If you want to know what it's like to experience the American experience (for the most part), just get fat, and watch our lame tv shows/movies we export to the rest of the world, and listen to crap like the newest Britney Spears/P. Diddy CD's...There, you are now one of us (but with better healthcare!)
