Hi guys,

I have recently decided to move to the USA I will be living with a relative so I dont need accom and I also have a job lined up in a family business over there I was wondering what documents will I need to be there legally? will I have to get a visa? and if so how much do they cost? Im not sure wether to just get a flight over and try to sort it out while im there or sort all of this before I go Im booking my ticket for the end of May so I dont have much time any help you could offer would be great?

Thanks

First off where are you from and do you want to live in the US permanently?

Family can sponsor you to move there or you can apply for a temporary visa as a student or worker.

The site below is the official government website which will have more, and up to date, information

Okay thanks a million I am from ireland and I do have family living over there who would sponsor me I have been going through all these sites yesterday and this morning and its not really giving me any answers! I would be looking to be there for at least 6 months I have never been there before so I cant really say I would be there permanently just yet but the chance would be great I would like to stay as long as possible there's nothing here for me anymore

thanks a million for the link I am going to have a look now!!

Also, take a look into the greencard lottery, every year the us give away green cards to enable diversity in the us. If you have a irish passport, i think they set aside a certain number especially for ireland. It will allow you to live and work there legally.
Without a green card or work visa, if you are caught working or you overstay, there are penelties that will make your future in america very difficult.
