I want to live in the USA! is an often expressed wish from many, especially those from countries that are economically challenged, feel oppressed or just want a new start.

The U.S. remains one of the most attractive destinations. The Lawful Permanent Resident status ( or Green Card ) is the Holy grail sought by most immigrants. Immigrating to the United States is a complex procedure with no guarantee of success. Here you should find information that should make the process easier for you and enable you to make informed decisions.

OK, wait a minute:
You have heard all the good things about the USA. But is it all true? For example:
