Hello Carol --

Congratulations on completing your degree. I am new to the forum and a USC (my other half is British, now a LPR).

To the best of my knowledge, I believe that you must obtain sponsorship from an employer in order to come over. Others who are just finishing up a university or professional degree often seek a student visa by enrolling at a US university. More time in school, but many students find that they are better able to obtain job sponsorship when already stateside.

These forums are quite helpful, but I always recommend speaking to an immigration attorney to establish what the best course of action would be (if available at all). I suggest that you ring 2-4 attorneys based in the US. US solicitors generally give a free consultation or at least answer basic questions for free over the phone.

Very best of luck!
