ORIGINAL: Real0ne I swiped this from another forum Hello all, Correct me if I am wrong, but gaining permanent residence in the USA for an average person who has no family in the USA (like most Europeans like me for instance), is impossible. The only three ways I see to gain permanent residence for people with no family in USA: 1. Win green card lottery (unlikely) 2. Marry an American citizen (Fraudulent and illegal, not an option for most sane people) 3. Get sponsored by an American employer (H1B) : Almost impossible if you are not some kind of genius with a skill that cannot be replicated by any american citizen. Even then its hard and might take years, not to forget convincing the company to spend thousands of dollars doing the lengthy process while they could save tons of $$$ simply employing an American. Oh and the fact the economy is such even Americans dont get jobs so why the hell would a US company go through the trouble of hiring some foreigner ? The only three ways I see to gain permanent residence for people with no family in USA: 1. Win green card lottery (unlikely) My former and continuing (part time partner) now has his green card, his wife does too and they didn't enter a lottery. Took years and perseverance. 2. Marry an American citizen (Fraudulent and illegal, not an option for most sane people) A friend married a foreign national and she now works for the US Post office oh, and has a green card to boot. 3. Get sponsored by an American employer (H1B) : Almost impossible if you are not some kind of genius with a skill that cannot be replicated by any american citizen.

Oh and the fact the economy is such even Americans dont get jobs so why the hell would a US company go through the trouble of hiring some foreigner ? That happens many 1000's of times as employers are well advised to sponsor those who do in fact qualify. So it is not almost impossible and you don't need to be any kind of genius. You have many interesting thoughts here Real. This was not one of them.
