UK-US Dual Citizenship, Immigration, etc. (possible teacher) Posted on: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 18:03:29 +0000


I am a 23-year-old mathematics student (studying, residing and claiming
citizenship of our green and pleasant land). I will graduate next summer
with a good degree; I am interested in becoming a (maths) teacher.

Could anyone give me a synopsis on how one goes about emigrating to the
US. Specifically to live and work (as a teacher (incidentally, will such
a job be thought of highly, in that it would help my cause?); or for
postgraduate study, if I can afford it and am good enough!).
I've been reading websites and they just seem filled with legalese and
application-form numbers. From what I understand, US citizenship takes a
while and you need a green card first. Since I have 'til at least June
2005, would contacting the US Embassy to get the ball rolling be a good
idea? Also, because you have to pay for everything in the States, does
anyone know if our teacher training satisfies as adequate qualification
over there? With regard again to money, I've also read about needing
sponsorship: I'm guessing private schools aren't in the position to do
so; and as for public schools, well, governments aren't known for giving
money away!
I'm also interested in dual citizenship: I am English, not American; I
just want to live there ;) Would a green card and a visa be enough,
instead of the bother of dual citizenship (and how does one go about
that, too)?

At the moment this is currently just an idea. I haven't made a
decision (as I don't have enough information yet), but it's high up
there on the list...

Thank you for your help :)
