The US immigrant visa process explained
To move to the United States, you must first apply for permission, detailing how long you want to stay and your reason for moving. Be aware that the American visa process is complicated and takes time. Your most likely method of getting a visa is to be sponsored, either by a family member or a US employer.
US visa processing time
US visa processing time and the required application steps depend on the country you currently reside in. If you are outside the US, you must undergo a medical exam. But, if you are already living there as a nonimmigrant, you will not.
If an American company wants to hire you, they will petition the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on your behalf. If approved, you can live in the US permanently and will receive a green card.
If you don't have an employer willing to sponsor you, you can ask a family member who is a US citizen to do so. They can petition for your stay by completing an I-130 form on your behalf. Priority is given to spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21. If approved, you will then begin processing in your home country.
How to apply for a work visa in USA
To apply for a work visa in the USA, gather the required documents, complete form DS-160 online, schedule a visa interview, pay the fee, attend an interview, and await processing. For detailed guidance, visit the official U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.
The essential documents you'll need to provide include:
- A valid passport with at least six months remaining
- Birth and marriage certificates
- Employment information
- Your CV
Remember to print the confirmation page, as you must present it during your interview.
The State Department's National Visa Center (NVC) will invite you to an interview once they have processed your application. Please note, depending on which type of visa you have applied for, your wait could be months or even years.
Before your interview, your local embassy will assign you tasks, including a medical exam for immunisations and fingerprints. During the interview, an embassy official will review your application and ask related questions.
Types of US visa
While an employer or family member sponsorship is your most likely way to gain a visa, there are other options:
- Self-petition visa: if you have remarkable achievements in the arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics, you can apply for a green card via an EB-1 form.
- Nonimmigrant work visa: a temporary visa that allows you to live and work in the US for a specified amount of time. Nonimmigrant visas are for people in specialised occupations that require at least a bachelor's degree or for those with extraordinary ability. Your employer can submit an I-129 form on your behalf.
- Visitor visa: there are two types of US visitor visa — Business (B1) and Tourism (B2). The maximum you can stay is capped at 180 days, but this is at the discretion of the consular officer who interviews you at the US embassy in your country. If you apply for a Tourism Visitor visa, you cannot undertake any form of work.
- Student visa: student visas are categorised as F (university, high school, conservatory, etc.) or M (vocational or non-academic institutions). Ask your school whether you qualify and the USA student visa application process.

What is a permanent resident card?
A permanent resident card, or a "Green Card," is an official document issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The USCIS distributes Green Cards to foreign nationals who have been granted lawful permanent stay in the United States. The card is usually green in colour, hence the nickname.
How does a Green Card work?
A Green Card is an identification document that grants expats moving to the United States the right to live and work there permanently. Known officially as a Permanent Resident Card, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issue Green Cards to foreign nationals who meet specific criteria.
Here's an overview of the process:
- Eligibility: there are various Green Issuance of Green Card categories to apply through, including family-sponsored, employment-sponsored and refugee/asylum status.
- Application approval: once approved by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the National Visa Center (NVC) receives your case for processing.
- Biometrics and background: USCIS will investigate your background to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria. You will then undergo a series of biometric services, including fingerprinting, a photograph and an interview.
- Issuance of Green Card: if your application is approved, USCIS will issue your Permanent Resident Card. Green Card holders must continue to reside in the US, abide by its laws, and renew their Green Cards before expiration.
- The "five-year rule" for citizenship: after five years of continuous residency, as a Green Card holder, you may be eligible to apply for US citizenship. However, if your spouse is a US citizen and you applied through marriage, you may be able to apply for citizenship within three years.
US immigration numbers by year

There was a significant dip during the COVID-19 pandemic, but with borders reopening, numbers have risen again.
(Sources: USA Facts, census.gov)
How long is the Green Card process?
The Green Card process takes anywhere between seven and thirty-three months to complete. Wait times depend on your application method, suitability, location of the processing office, demand, unforeseen delays and more.
How much does it cost to apply for a Green Card?
The cost to apply for a Green Card depends on your application method and current processing stage. Some mandatory payments include petitions, applications, support, medical examinations and administration fees.
Please reference the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website for the latest information on fees and the application process.
What is the Green Card Lottery?
The Green Card Lottery, officially known as the American Diversity Immigrant Visa program, hands out up to 55,000 permanent visas annually — but gaining one of these visas depends on luck! Millions apply, so the likelihood of winning is not favourable.
To qualify, you must live in a country with a low emigration rate to the US and have graduated high school or have specific work experience. Entry is free, but if you win, there will be a fee to pay in person at your US Embassy. The list of countries that cannot enter the green card lottery changes yearly based on current immigration levels.
Does Alaska pay you to live there?
As of 2025, the Alaskan government pay eligible residents living in the state $1,702 (£1,257) annually via the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD). You must reside in Alaska for a full calendar year and leave for no more than a total of 180 days.
In 1976, former governor Jay Hammond introduced the PFD to give the Alaskan people a social wealth fund paid for by oil revenues. The widely popular dividend has helped a large cross-section of the population, including mothers with young children and Native American women.
Renting vs. buying a property in the US
Once you've decided on a city or town to move to, you'll need to determine whether buying or renting a home is best. Leasing a property in the States lets you acclimatise to your new surroundings without committing to a large purchase like a house. After all, you might have a change of heart and want to return to your home country or try a different area. Research local hotels and Airbnb rentals to find a temporary place to stay while house hunting.
Another option is hiring a realtor who can use their extensive knowledge of the local area. It can be costly, but it's a welcome relief to have a helping hand on arrival.
Typically, the documents you'll need to provide to rent a property in the US include:
- Personal information such as your name, date of birth, etc.
- Your Social Security number (SSN)
- Your driver's licence number
- Employment details, including proof of income such as a payslip or an employment offer that states your salary
- References
Renting property in America
Before arriving, research your chosen area. Consider prices, how long your work commute will be, schools, crime rates, parks and local amenities. Search online using popular letting sites such as Zillow, Avail, Apartments and Craigslist. But avoid closing on a home based on images and text alone, as there will likely be discoveries when you see it in person. Then, line up as many viewings as possible, leaving enough time to travel between appointments.
Another option is hiring a realtor who can use their extensive knowledge of the local area. It can be costly, but it's a welcome relief to have a helping hand on arrival. Once you've picked a suitable home for you and your family, there's usually a written application you can fill in online.
Before moving in, you must sign a lease (also known as a contract). Typically, leases last for a year and cover your responsibilities as a tenant, such as paying for utilities and whether or not you can have pets. It will also include your landlord's contact details and their duties, like repairing appliances. Read your lease carefully and ask for your own copy. Pay close attention to when your rent is due and how much the security deposit is.
Once you move in, set up utilities in your name, such as electricity, water, gas, internet, and cable. Websites like Powerswitch and Make the Switch can help you determine your cheapest options.
Buying a house in the States
Start by working out your budget and researching US states with the lowest property taxes to ensure you have enough to afford a mortgage. Then, check your credit score on sites like Experian or Credit Karma to determine your likelihood of being accepted. Such valuable resources can suggest adjustments to increase your credit score, improving the mortgage rates banks offer.
Next, apply for a pre-approved mortgage at your bank or local credit union. Doing so gives you a clear idea of what you can afford and your interest rates. Then, search for a licensed real estate agent who can help you find properties within your budget, negotiate offers and guide you through the process.
Once you find a home you love and the seller accepts your offer, hire a professional to assess the property's condition and conduct a title search to ensure there are no ownership issues. If applying for a mortgage, you must make a downpayment (deposit) of 3% to 20% of the house price.
Before closing on a deal, you'll pay various fees, including a down payment, closing costs, and any other expenses associated with the purchase. So, ensure you have enough in the bank to cover these, too!

How to open a US bank account when emigrating to America
To open a US bank account, visit a few banks close to your new home, if they have brick-and-mortar locations, and do some online research. Popular national banks include JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citibank.
Checking account: for everyday transactions such as buying groceries and paying bills. Services you can access with this type of account include ATM withdrawals, account transfers, and more.
Savings account: for storing funds to use at a later date. These accounts have higher interest rates than checking accounts, so you can earn more on top of the money you've saved.
You'll need to provide identification such as proof of immigration (visa, green card, etc.), a valid passport and a Social Security number if you have one. Some US banks, such as HSBC and Barclays, operate worldwide. They can help you set up a US account if you already bank with them.
What to do with money when moving to the USA
There are a few options available to transfer your money from outside the US into your new bank account:
- Bank wire transfer: this is where one bank directly transfers money to another bank. The process is secure but could involve high fees.
- Online money transfer: platforms such as PayPal, Wise and Revolut allow you to send money online and often have lower fees than traditional banks.
- Money order or cashier's check: choose this method if you would sooner send your new US bank physical paperwork. It is also typically cheaper!
A land of boundless opportunities: working and getting a job in the United States
With more than nine million vacancies across the US, it's no wonder it's considered one of the best countries to live and work. As an expat looking to settle in the US and get sponsorship from an employer, your best chance of securing a job is an in-demand role.
As long as you have finished high school, there are plenty of high-paying jobs for drivers, technicians, and, with a bit of experience, management roles. There's also good news for those with qualifications. As well as being more likely to receive sponsorship from a US employer, there is always demand for nurses, sales reps and general managers.
Start by researching the US's biggest industries, such as healthcare, education and tourism, and searching for in-demand roles that fit your skills.
How to get a US Social Security number
You need a Social Security number (SSN) to secure a job in the US. If you have a working visa, you can apply for a Social Security card once you arrive in America by going to your local Social Security office — with 12,000 in the country, there's sure to be one nearby! Find the address of your closest office using the Social Security Office Locator.
Take with you a completed SS-5-FS form and the following original documents:
- Proof of birth (birth certificate)
- Immigration status (visa, green card or employer authorisation document)
- Proof of identity (passport)
- Proof of employment (contract offer or HR certificate)
- An I-94 arrival record form
Top tip: take your original documents plus photocopies to speed up the process.
Tips for job hunting in America
Start by researching the US's biggest industries, such as healthcare, education and tourism, and searching for in-demand roles that fit your skills. Utilise job listing websites like Indeed and Monster and connect with potential employers on LinkedIn, a social media platform for professionals. Other job-hunting options include:
- Attending networking events and career fairs
- Checking your desired employer's website for vacancies
- Registering with recruitment agencies
- Cold emailing companies directly with your CV (it's called a resume in the States!)
To stand out from other candidates, tailor your CV to the American job market, write a well-crafted cover letter and highlight your achievements and relevant experience during interviews. Finally, finding employment in the United States requires persistence and resilience — keep searching and sending out applications, and you'll land your dream job in no time.

Top 10 jobs in demand in the USA
The top 10 jobs in demand jobs in the USA are registered nurses, truck drivers, shift managers, delivery drivers, owner-operator drivers, sales representatives, restaurant managers, dental assistants, direct support professionals, and assistant general managers, according to Indeed's 2025 figures.
However, the American job market is constantly evolving due to changing demographics, technology and societal needs.
How much annual leave do you get in America?
Unlike most countries, US workers are not entitled to paid annual leave. It's at your employer's discretion how many days off you receive. Over three-quarters of companies typically give their employees ten paid days off annually after a year of service. Plus, you can request unpaid time off if needed.
American history timeline
1600s
In 1607, the Jamestown Colony (near present-day Williamsburg, Virginia) became North America's first permanent English settlement. And in 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers joined the settlers, arriving on the Mayflower.
1700s
Increasing unrest over English control led to the American War of Independence (1775–1783). After freeing themselves from British governance, the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.
1800s
Simmering tensions between northern (the Union) and southern (the Confederacy) states triggered the American Civil War (1861–1865). Fighting ceased in 1865, resulting in the abolition of slavery in the USA.
1900s
With two world wars, the Great Depression, JFK's assassination, a moon landing, the signing of the Civil Rights Act, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 20th century was a busy time for the States!
American culture: values, traditions and more!
Depending on the country you're moving from, life in the US might be a bit of a culture shock. Perhaps less so if you're used to living in the UK, Canada or Australia, but there remain significant differences:
- Guns are legal: each state has its own laws on who can and cannot possess a firearm. But, across the country, it's relatively easy to obtain one. Some states, such as Alaska, Idaho and Ohio, have an open carry rule, meaning anyone over 21 can have a gun on their person without a license.
- Get used to the imperial system: while most countries have switched to metric measurements, e.g. metres, kilograms, etc., the US still uses imperial units. Expect to see speed limit signs in miles, maximum baggage amounts in pounds, and heights measured in feet and inches.
- Check your plugs: in the USA, electrical items have one of two plug types, A and B. Plug type A has two flat parallel pins, while plug type B has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin. You can temporarily use plug converters, but using them for an extended period is unsafe. We recommend replacing your appliances on arrival.
- Americans love the Stars and Stripes: expect to see the US flag raised outside homes, police stations, public buildings and even barber shops! Important holidays include the 4th of July, which celebrates the USA's independence from the British Empire in 1776. Plus, Thanksgiving, which traditionally marked the end of the harvest, but is now more focused on family.
- Embrace multiculturalism: the home of the free and the brave has welcomed immigrants for centuries. As such, the country has a diverse population, which includes people from virtually every corner of the globe. Expect to find a wide range of cultures expressed in everything, from how people talk and dress to music and food.
Top 10 surprising facts about the United States of America

- Although still separated by a distance of 6,604 km, Hawaii is moving closer to Japan at a rate of more than 4 centimetres per year due to tectonic plate shifting.

Don't miss the Paper House in Rockport, Massachusetts, built from glued-together old newspapers, Texas's Beer Can House, made from aluminium cans and green bottles, and the Corn Palace in South Dakota, an a-maize-ing attraction constructed entirely from grain.
- The US is a nation of pet lovers — there are now more dogs than children under 18 years old.

What is a 3299 form?
A 3299 form helps the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) determine that the items you are importing comply with American customs laws and regulations. Similar to the UK's Transfer of Residence (ToR1) form, it's a legal requirement when shipping unaccompanied used personal goods not for resale that arrive at a different time than you. Or if you are moving to the US permanently. Typical goods include household furniture, clothing and sports equipment.
It's sometimes called the Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles.
A CBP form 3299 is easier to complete than it might seem at first. There are seven sections, three of which you can leave blank:
- Part 1: the importer's basic information, including name, DOB, arrival date and their address in the States.
- Part 2: statement of eligibility for free entry of articles, indicating whether the imported goods are used or for sale.
- Part 3: for U.S. Army personnel and evacuees only, leave blank.
- Part 4: a detailed list of everything you're importing, describing all effects, including their respective value.
- Part 5: carrier's certificate and release order, leave blank.
- Part 6: certification for persons seeking free entry, put an "X" next to "B" as the importer.
- Part 7: CBP use only, leave blank.
Failure to complete your CBP 3299 form accurately could lead to fines, delays, or even confiscation of your goods. Please visit the official U.S. Customs and Border Protection website for the most up-to-date information.

FAQs about moving to America
Animals entering the US are subject to regulation by USDA APHIS and other federal agencies. Generally, your pet must be microchipped, vaccinated and fit to travel. However, there may be additional requirements depending on the state you're moving to and the animal you wish to take with you.
For more information, including specific conditions for dogs, cats, birds and ferrets, please reference the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
While moving to the USA without a job is possible, you must meet specific criteria and have sufficient funds available for your stay to be eligible.
However, employer sponsorship is the easiest way to get a visa to live in the US. Other options include being sponsored by a family member or spouse. Fast-growing job roles in the US include nurses, wind turbine technicians, security analysts, software developers and statisticians.
Moving to the United States is relatively straightforward, but depending on your circumstances, it can take time, so patience is vital! For example, if an employer in the US sponsors you for an in-demand role, your visa application might get fast-tracked. However, there's a significant demand for entry to the US, so you could be waiting months or years.
Another option is applying for the Diversity Visa Program (also known as the Green Card Lottery). While the odds of winning are low, your chances are better if you arrive from a country with low immigration and have completed high school or have suitable work experience.
The US has expats from hundreds of countries living in all 50 states of this diverse and welcoming country. But, the highest concentration of immigrants is on the east and west coasts: Washington D.C. and New York, and San Francisco and Los Angeles.
When moving to USA, it's important to understand the legal requirements and practical aspects of relocation. Familiarise yourself with the American immigration process and how to obtain the necessary visas or permits. Research health insurance policies, financial systems, and educational opportunities to ensure a smooth transition. And be aware of the country's diverse cultural landscape and open to embracing the unique experiences that come with living in the United States.
The USA visa processing time varies depending on the type of visa and the specific circumstances of each application. Other factors impacting the wait include the volume of applications in process at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), staffing allocations and policy changes.
To apply for a work visa in USA, find a visa suitable to your requirements, then contact your nearest American embassy or apply online via the United States Government website.

Pay particular attention to your application fees, which cost several hundred dollars and are non-refundable.
The Green Card Lottery, officially known as the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery, is a US government program that provides a chance for individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States to obtain permanent residency or a green card. Participants must enter the lottery during the specified registration period, and winners are selected through a random computer-generated drawing.
Choosing the best city in America for expats depends on individual preferences, career opportunities, and lifestyle. Cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles offer diverse cultural experiences and job prospects but have a higher cost of living. Alternatively, cities like Chicago and Dallas provide a vibrant cultural scene and are more affordable.

Some visa categories may require additional documentation.

The amount of annual leave you get in America varies widely based on the employer, industry and employment contract. Unlike some countries that mandate a set number of vacation days, the US has no federal law requiring employers to provide paid vacation. Typically, employees negotiate their leave terms as part of their employment agreement, and the average vacation time can range from 10 to 20 days per year, often increasing with years of service.
The top 4 universities in the United States are Stanford University, Mass. Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard University and Princeton University.
Common types of American health insurance plans include Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO), and Point of Service (POS) plans.
