Originally from uk. Expat in usa.
Default Moving to the USA

Hello,

I have read through the list of criterias that could help as a route to moving to the USA but would appreciate some input if possible? I think - I hope that actually I have a few options but not sure what would be best. Let me know what you think

Route 1: My mother re married to a US citizen and has been living in the US under a green card for at least 5 years (although she has been there 10) They both work, he in a restaurant, mum at home self employed, they own a house...for the time being.

Route 2: Husband does work for a company that has offices in the US - however, being field based in the UK and trasnferring to the US might be too much time away which neither of us want.

Route 3: Me, well....I have just trained in dog grooming, not the most aspirational job but I was recently made redundant from a large company and wanted to try something different, I would be more than happy to take this and set up in the States.

Problems: Own a house here probably in negative equity, so I would probably rent it out which means we do not have much money at all...10k maybe.

What do you more experienced think our chances would be?

Thanks
