Moving from England to the US

[luckyluke]

I am a British Citizen, so... Can i Live, Work, Own Property in USA by just going there? or are there other requirements?

Also how long would i have to live in USA before being entitled to US citizenship?

do you think its smarter to get dual US-UK citizenship?

Hello,

As far as I know, you need a work visa to come and work in the states, and the employer has to be willing to sponsor your visa, which can be tricky. I guess the easy alternative is to marry an American!:)

In all seriousness it is very difficult to get a US visa. Also, you can maintain dual citizenship so your kids can choose where they want to live when they grow up.

I understand the desire to get out of England, but starting off can be hard in the states also, specially in New York. I'd say that Florida is a good starting place.

Good luck!
