Moving to USA..

[Clarkey123]

.. Okay, i really have set my intentions on moving out to florida, from england, to be with a girl, who used to go to the same school but moved. I just wanna know, like, everything i need to do to make it happen.

Anybody ever done this ?
Can you tell me what you did ?

Im 16 at the minute, but i intend to finish school, and probably wait until im 18 to do it. If not sooner.

If someone has already done it they might not have done it like you would. There are lots of different ways. You have plenty of time to prepare and research before you reach adult status (18 years old).

This site seems to have a pretty good summary of what you'll need to do.

Without looking at the links Rockboy posted, you most likely would need a "sponsor" to get you over here, that way they can accept a visa for you. I don't believe you can now just "up and move" over here, not like they used to allow years ago.

For me, when I moved over here it was under the assumption that I was to marry my then pen pal within 90 days of moving over. With that, we were able to get my visa approved, and I then was allowed to stay here, but it was "conditionally" for two years, when that time was over, we then had to prove that were were still married. Once the "interrogation" was done, I was then given a green card which is valid for 10 years, that ten years is well over, I'm now going through my second green card..........Not wanting to become a US citizen!

Check out the U.S. Embassy in London and their visa services at http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/index.html

You'll have to call them anyway since they meet with visa applicants by appointment only.

Take a vacation to Mexico. Sneak accross the border into Arizona or Texas. Catch bus to Florida. Once in Florida, if questioned, just respond "Me no speak English". Try not to look Arabic.

If you follow Oink's advice make sure you get a dark tanning before attempting.
