to All You Americans...

I'm hoping this question can be answered
really quickly. Me and my hubby want to
move to america (specifically california)
in the next 5 years.
Now we know it is really hard to get a
green card to live there permenantly as
you have to provide a use.
Well the thing is I am going to re-train
as a midwife but my friend told me they
don't have them in america and pregnant
women are seen by their doctor. Is this
true?
If so I am thinking of re-training as a
nurse instead so at least I will provide a
use! Lol
anyone know specific laws for california
as a regards to people wanting to move
there from the uk?
This would be really helpful. Thanks

We have midwives over here!!
Since this war is going on, it may be a
little hard and take awhile to get a
greencard. I would go ahead and try to
get one soon if your seriously planning on
moving here. Just in case. U never kno
since there is a war

Getting a green card has less to do with
the 'war' and more to do with new
regulations since .September 11th.
We do have midwives here. There are
probably different requirements than you
would have in .England though.
Why did you choose .California? Depending
on where you live in .Ca, it can be kind
of icky and over-populated. However, it
is a major destination for .Brits to live.
I think they are drawn to the sun? There
are some good .English .Pubs i've been to
there ;)

I betcha it would be much easier with
immigration and I think the midwife
situation is similar!

Beckster, just come to .Wisconsin! It's

cheaper to live here!!

My hubby works in computing so hopefully
he can transfer over to usa as he has a
friend who lives in california and he said
there are quite alot of i.T jobs there.
I will do my midwifery then but I may just
have to take another course when I get
over there so that it qualifies.

I think that you might be better off
becoming an rn. There is always a big
demand for nurses.....

Sep 11th and war have virtually nothing to
do with getting a greencard. I'm an
immigration attorney. Laws got a lot
tougher around 1996 and then again in 2001
(april of 2001 so before sep, 2001).

California is the dirty state! And it's
so expensive! My friend moved there to
try and live, and she moved back east b/c
she said cost of living is really high.

Canada's better!!! Lol
we have free medical care, and if you come
to quebec we have daycare for 7$/day.
And the schooling is much closer to uk
schooling than in the states. Lol
ok well now you have all the options-lol
and it helps you'll know people when you
come over.
