So, i suggest legal or nothing. And btw, New York and the US ain't necessarily better than Italy.

I love Sicily and wouldn't mind living in Tuscany or Firenze!

What? It's another planet. So different between USA and Italy...
but if you like, next time come here in Sardinia!

I have an american friend who was able to help me in marrying. But then she explained me better about the need of a couple of years waiting to get the visa. sigh....

Do you know girls who can marry good people like me, just for visa...? Where could I get info??

Default Living in the United States

You are not giving anyone enough information about your desire to come to the U.S. to live. Why New York City? Do you have relatives here, and will they sponsor you? I am a resident of NYC for 55 years so I know New York. It is an expensive city to live, and or work in. Housing is not considered affordable by any standards. What do you really want to know, and if you are serious you are always free to contact the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in your Country for legal information.

Matts, I saw you posted in NYC, California and Florida--perhaps elsewhere. If you put all the information you received together, you'll find you have some good answers.

The fact of the matter is some of the posters (elsewhere, not NYC) have teased you, but in all seriousness, the right way is the legal way: a visa, a job, a sponsor. No wives, or tricks. That is my best and final advice.

Good luck!

So, I'd like to live in the States, from I was kid I'm attracted of the US. I love it for many reasons in general. I'd like to live in the south, as Florida or maybe in the southern California. The fact I'm asking to you people from NYC is because I went there about six months ago, and I realized the city is so flexible with immigrants. Many job opportunities and more.
So I don't have relatives there, I wish I'd have! Otherwise I wouldn't have to ask to you these info.
I'm just trying to get important info form you and some advice. Which are the right information about me in your opinion? I'm serious, but look, the Embassy in my country is located in Rome where If I want' to get there I have to take a plane.

thanks

oh no don't worry, they are just nice no teased me at all. Look I did a lot of researches on internet, just for nothing... all the same. Visas, sponsor etc. I mean it's so difficult to get a job from here! Do you think it is easier to do directly in the place? You know many people say getting a visa in the US is so difficult, and then if police caught you illegal, there will be bad problems...
I don't know, maybe it's easier than I think.

I have read all your posts, and I believe you are just having some fun with this. You sound like a comedy routine on Saturday Night Live with your complete killing of the English Language. The joke is up!

Many of the threads started on here are the same story. On rare occasion one of these threads ends up becoming something interesting but does it just egg on the orig poster more for this to be acknowledged? Most of the time the results are not that informative or interesting. At least he didn't ask about moving to Bed-Stuy or how much the childcare will be because someday he will be "with child".

Or is NYC vomit-friendly? The OP did mention he was sick. Just kidding, as I really don't want anymore private messages from manhattan-ite.
