If your dream is to live and work in the USA, it may be easier than you think.
You can obtain a green card, with permanent residency in a few months.
This is available to almost everyone and is the best value permanent immigration programme in the world.
The USA needs workers and this is how you can move to start a new life.
This US Government approved scheme allows people to move to the USA with a Green card, which gives permanent residency, a job and medical insurance.
As permanent residents, children will be eligible to enter the school system, and then college fees will be at US citizen rates.
These are less than you might think for state colleges. Huge savings all round.
Yes, a move with a job provided and medical insurance after 30 days. You don’t need to stay in that role forever and before too long can change job if you want. If moving as a family, only one adult needs to work for the sponsor and the other can apply for any suitable role just like any other legal US resident. Or set up their own business.
This is a pathway to US citizenship, as you can apply for a US passport after a few years of living in the USA.
Where can we live?
We currently have arrangements with four different sponsors, in four states.
Allentown, Pennsylvania The historical city of Allentown was founded in 1762 and has many cultural attractions. The area is also known for industry and manufacturing. You can drive to New York city in under two hours but have a lower cost of living.
Columbus, Ohio Columbus is the state capital and the 14th most populous city in the USA. It has a strong and diverse economy and the state alone has a GBP of over $695 billion. It has two well-known public universities with several top-rated grad school programmes
Indianapolis, Indiana The state capital and the 29th largest metropolitan economy in the US. Includes FedEx’s national hub with 35 facilities in the city. There are two public university campuses, 17 degree-granting schools, including IU School of Medicine, the largest medical school in the country.
San Bernadino, California Less than two hours from central Los Angeles, San Bernadino offers a relatively affordable cost of living compared to other cities in California. It is surrounded by natural beauty including state parks and the towering San Bernadino mountains.The public schools in San Bernardino are considered above average.
We know that the California option will be particularly popular and with limited spaces, you will need to act fast for this one.
If this is of interest, do not delay!
Key requirements
- No minimum asset requirement
- No specific educational requirement
- No work experience required
- No complex language requirement. Only basic English needed
- Willing to work for sponsor
- Police clearance report required
- Medical check report required
While you need to work for the sponsor for a while, it does not need to be forever. As mentioned earlier, if moving with a partner, only one of you needs to take up this role.
Many jobs are in warehouses or similar, packing goods, so suitable for just about anyone.
It’s a great entry position and many roles have flexible hours, or shift work. Think of them as jobs to get you started and settled in your new life in the USA.
What does it cost?
For a family of three, two parents and a child, the total fees are $55,500. That is for a Green Card for everyone.
If you are single and want to move on your own, the cost would be $49,500.
Of the total, $20,000 is payable on initial application, with the remainder as you go through the application process.
This really is the best value permanent immigration programme in the world, with the lowest costs.
Can I get a US passport?
This scheme is about providing you with permanent residency but after a few years of living and working in the USA you can apply for a US passport.
A green card holder has the permanent right to live and work in the US, to access schooling and more.
We also have an investment scheme that leads to a US passport more quickly but at higher cost. See THIS ARTICLE to find out more about that option.
