How do I get help to live in America and be an American citizen?

How can I live with my American friends? I live in the UK. ?

• So, I live in the UK and have done all of my life. All of my friends live in America, I have met them... Not just internet friends. I go over there every two or so months but it's costing me too much money for such small trips but I can't take too much time off work. I would like to find out is there any possible way they could sponsor me to move over or any way I can live there legally? I really want to be with my friends all the time and be able to work in America. I do not want to get married to an American citizen or study over there either. I simply just want to be with my friends. Thanks for any help given.

• Answer:

  -Your friends cannot sponsor you. -You don't want to study. -You don't want to marry a USC. You have two options: 1) If you have a bachelor's degree + 5 years work experience in the field of your degree then you could try to find an employer willing to sponsor you if you have a niche skill-set (H1B visa) 2) If you work for a company in the UK that has a branch in the U.S. and you are in a managerial position then you could look for a transfer (L1 visa). 3) If you have just graduated with a bachelor's, you could look into a J1 with BUNAC. Beyond that, you do not have any options as there is simply no visa available to do what you want to do and thus your chances of living here permanently are zero. *Note* with all of the above, you really won't have a choice of were you want to live, so if you only want to live where you friend's live then your chances become even smaller with such a small market pool.
