If you decide to become a citizen of the United States of America, you can take one of the legal immigration routes to this rich and rather hospitable country.
Instructions
Step 1
A girl can try to move to live in the United States on a special bride visa. To do this, learn spoken English well, get to know your future groom using special sites. The groom must be a full citizen of the United States. It is he who subsequently submits the petition to the Department of Homeland Security. In the future, the groom will have to prove that your relationship is not fictitious: provide joint photographs, letters, telephone bills, testimonies of friends and acquaintances. Prepare a package of documents: a valid international passport, 6 photographs, a birth certificate (apostille), a certificate from the police about the absence of a criminal past. Come to the interview and pay the consular fee - $ 100. Then wait for permission to enter the country.
Step 2
Another way to legally get the opportunity to move to the United States is a work visa. An American employer submits a petition to hire a foreign worker and invite him to the country. In this case, he kind of becomes your sponsor. Then you get an immigrant visa and permission to live in America.
Step 3
A good opportunity for immigration is opening a business in the United States. Typically, businessmen come to the United States on a visitor visa and then apply for an L-1 visa. In this case, you must already have a registered company in Russia, which must be associated with the activities of your organization in the United States. Starting a business in America is very expensive, as you will be immediately required to pay an insurance premium. The L-1 visa is valid for up to three years, and then you can apply for an official residence permit - a green card.
Step 4
You can also become a US citizen by obtaining refugee status. If you can prove that you are being oppressed in your homeland for religious, political or national reasons, then you can apply for asylum in this country, and then become its official resident.
