US resident

Hi! I've checked online but the answer is not very clear... I would like to know if a European citizen could become a US resident without any degree or a job. I make some money online and I get paid on PayPal. I hope to make enough money to be able to move to the US next year. Could I become a resident if I am financially independent but without a degree or an "official" job? 42.114.193.66 (talk) 17:56, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WIKIPEDIA DOES NOT GIVE LEGAL OPINIONS

Wikipedia contains articles on many legal topics; however, no warranty whatsoever is made that any of the articles are accurate. There is absolutely no assurance that any statement contained in an article touching on legal matters is true, correct or precise. Law varies from place to place and it evolves over time—sometimes quite quickly. Even if a statement made about the law is accurate, it may only be accurate in the jurisdiction of the person posting the information; as well, the law may have changed, been modified or overturned by subsequent development since the entry was made on Wikipedia.

The legal information provided on Wikipedia is, at best, of a general nature and cannot substitute for the advice of a licensed professional, i.e., by a competent authority with specialised knowledge who can apply it to the particular circumstances of your case. Please contact a local bar association, law society or similar association of jurists in your legal jurisdiction to obtain a referral to a competent legal professional if you do not have other means of contacting an attorney-at-law, lawyer, civil law notary, barrister or solicitor.

We don't give legal advice here. This site does, sort of. See what they have to say. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:22, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see DV-Program, also called Diversity Immigrant Visa or GreenCard. For this Year, the application period has extended until 22 November due technical issues. Apply at https://www.dvlottery.state.gov and see instructions first. In general states around the world look for the best qualified people. No one wants a social burden. It is up to the individual to apply for Visa or citizenship where he or she feels most comfortable. States who are unable to provide a minimum of respect of freedom, welfare, respect and human rights, keep their citizens in the country by imprisonment, limiting free speech, stealing confident, exclude from education and information. This exactly is are way for producing future social burden. Do not support making money for any rogue state. When being a vicim, fill the I-589 form to apply for asylum. --Hans Haase (有问题吗) 20:31, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a major simplification. I think it's true that you don't need an "official" job, but not having one will complicate your immigration, especially if your income is unpredictable. You really should consult a professional before making any plans. ApLundell (talk) 22:44, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
