rthibeau Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 you might want to wait until after the November election to see if you really want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenchcrack Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 If you plan to do it legal, plan on about 10 years. If you can't wait, learn Spanish and come in the back door. You can mow lawns, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 You need to talk to a US consulate in Canada. They are *paid* to answer such questions and their answers should be more up to date than anecdotal ones. In general there is some lag in the system so if you are wanting to move here start the process as early as possible! Do you have a skill where a company would spot you for an H1 visa? Have you though of marrying into the states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Some of our neighbors are having to go back to Canada after almost twelve years because he doesn't have a job. He just invest in America. He develops raw land into subdivisions. That is he puts up the money for others to do that. He lends money to small time developers that up until a few months ago were the type that would build ten to twenty houses. He also has rental house but not what the government considers a job. Pays his taxes, all of them, supports little league and goes to church, pays all his own medical bills but is not deemed worthy to stay here any longer. Has to go back to Canada and apply for citizenship. Seems he has no job title that is necessary for the USA right now. Go figure, I guess he can't ride a mower. That is one of the prices of 9/11.

Thomas Dean Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well Vladimir Marenus, the nice thing about the USA is you can leave! So, just guessing, I would believe you are not serious since you are still here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas de Marr Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I can leave all I want, aye. I just can't get into anywhere. I've tried both Canada and the UK, and neither will accept me because I am not 'a skilled worker'. Essentially, I was told to complete my Nursing degree, which would qualify me for a skilled workman's visa, and then go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
