Hi all, I an new to this forum.
Basically i am a 21 year old student in my final year of University studying Accountancy and Finance.(from the UK)
I am looking to complete my chartership(chartered accountant) in England/Uk before going to America.

I am looking for some advice and what i need to do, is it worth applying for this green card now etc?


Can anyone shed any light on this?

If it helps it would be basically 2 of us going, myself and my girlfriend(fiance(wife to be haha).

Any informaton is truly appreciated :)

It will take you 5 years...if your lucky!

You cant just 'apply'f or a green card. The US is the hardest country in the world to get into. I know it sounds harsh but its easier to just hear it....You have VERY little chance of ever getting there. Your best bet it to work for a UK company and maybe in 5-10 years, you will get transferred over there. Provided you are an extremely talented high flier

This is called doing your homework. Networking, knocking on doors, pounding pavement, asking questions ... As fledgling accountant you will probably have to earn your spurs with a UK firm for a couple of years first.

For starters - go through some of the old threads using the search function. This will answer most of your questions. I will gladly try to answer others.
