America

[DraiodoirX]

ok, im a student taking a year out, and planning another anyway im thinking about going to live in america for year tops, but was told that i would not get a visa with no qualification/degree, but i was also told that this rule only applied if your looking to live there indefinately, while im only looking to live there for a year, or there abouts, if anyone knows the facts on this or where i can get the facts, any help is really appreciated...

The US embassy website http://www.usembassy.org.uk/ukembabt.html has loads of info.

What are you going to do in America in that year? If you have enough money to last you the year, then you probably can get a visa. When you arrive in the US you won't get admitted for the whole year, but will be able to apply to stay on, provided you can continue to prove that you can support yourself and apply before your aithorised stay runs out.

You will NOT be able to work in the US. If you give the slightest hint you are going to, you are unlikely to get the visa, and even if you do could be turned away when you arrive.


You may find there is an exchange scheme that would suit you - try www.bunac.org for some examples
