Immigration to America for many Russians is synonymous with prosperity and happiness, which is why an impressive part of the Russian-speaking population annually attacks the US Embassy in the hope of obtaining a green card or visa. You can legally immigrate to America only after going through a series of bureaucratic procedures.
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to move to live in the United States of America, it is imperative that you learn English well, since it is in English that, having moved to America, you will communicate with local residents, with the authorities, with your employers.
Step 2
At the moment, there are all kinds of English language training courses, and in a fairly short time, if you wish, you can master this language, communicate and understand your interlocutor, as if it were Russian.
Step 3
Care should be taken to obtain an international driving license if you intend to own your own vehicle and use it in the states. It is best to get a driver's license while still in Russia.
Step 4
Before leaving for America, you must go through a medical commission to make sure you are in good health, especially for a visa.
Step 5
Your next step will be to determine the type of immigration - direct or indirect. For Direct Immigration, a visa may be issued to you at the United States Embassy if you participate in a special existing family reunification program or you won the Green Card Lottery.
Step 6
If you win the lottery, you will have to go through an interview at the US Embassy to obtain a visa. Its purpose is to make sure that you have the required level of education or work experience, that you have the funds in the amount necessary for a normal existence. In addition, you must have an invitation from a state employer.
Step 7
With indirect immigration, there are different options for its implementation. When issuing a bride visa, the woman must get married within the validity period of the visa. It also happens that after the expiration of the contract, the employer offers the foreign hired worker to stay in America. If a person agrees to such an offer, then he goes through specialized procedures to obtain the status of a resident with permanent residence for employment.
Step 8
The family in this case also has the right to live in the United States of America. There are options for immigration in case of need to obtain political asylum or in case of religious persecution.
