<p>I have wanted to live and work in the USA for longer than I can remember, unfortunately I have no desire to go to a different country. A lot of people have suggested to simply not go to the US, is this another way of saying my prospects are impossible? I’m not sure. Marriage seems to be the only viable option so far. The US appeals for a number of reasons, both personal and from a conservation/wildlife perspective, though to be honest that is irrelevant, I’m just looking to find out what all the options are in my current position. Is there perhaps a way of obtaining a green card during study? This would allow 5 years during study in which to become applicable for citizenship through naturalization, thus allowing for a state job application?
Thank you</p>
