Do what I did.....I placed an ad in a newspaper, looking for a job and furnishing my resume. I do have a BA from my country of birth and had experience in my field. That attracted a few companies (US) willing to help me get the ok by the Labor Department and later by the INS. It took about a year but I got my green card.

You will have to apply for the green card through the lottery. Good luck, they only give out about 50,000. The number of people applying is in the millions. So there is a slim chance. Best chance to get a green card is marrying an american citizen. Go to www.uscis.gov to find out other ways of getting into the country, for example work visa etc. Once you get a green card your spouse and children will receive one, too.

Well it depends on you situation.. Where you currently reside and your educational / family background.\nFor example you can be a student, apply to university in the States, apply for a job, apply for a work permit (H1-B) VISA and maybe your employer can sponsor you for a green card. Other possibilities include getting sponsored by a family member who already has a green card, or through politicaly asylum (if you are a refugee of your country for example), or if you marry a U.S. citizen. \nI can't go into much more detail not knowing your particular situation but a great site is http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/greencard/greencardFULL.html \nand has information for various ways for obtaining the green card.

Go to the following link to find out what kind of employment visas are available.\n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1325.html\n\nTo find information on marriage to US citizen, go to the following link\n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1316.html

How easy or difficult obtaining a green card can be depends greatly on a person's individual situation. Some individuals will apply for a greencard through family immigration. Employment immigration also gives people the opportunity to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States.\n\nMethods of Obtaining a Green Card\nA person can apply to become a permanent resident based on having a relative who is either a lawful permanent resident or a US citizen. The relative must first file the petition and it has to be approved. Once an immigrant visa number is available you can apply to have one assigned to you.\n\nEmployment can also allow a person to apply for a greencard. There is a multi-step process that is quite complex and can vary depending on the petitioner's qualifications, as well as which visa he or she applies for. The employer must complete a labor certification request for the applicant to be either granted or denied. \n\nObtaining a green card can also occur during the Diversity Program which is a green card lottery. This program began in 1994 and allows 50,000 new permanent residents enter the United States each year. The Diversity Program specifically allocates more visas, though randomly, to countries that have provided few immigrants to the US in recent years.\n\n\n\nUS-Immigration law is an extremely complex field where most people need the advise and services of an expert. Green Card Support Service has co-operated with a number of excellent Immigration Attorneys in the USA. We are glad to recommend and to provide you with the details of one of the best immigration lawyers in the USA. \n\nMr.\n\nClemens Pauly\n\nAttorney at law in Germany and the USA\n\nwww.cpauly.com

Go out of US and get a visa again to enter US legally. Else it's not possible to have US citizenship approved.\n\nAfter you enter US legally, then apply for green card. You can do that either through company you work for a relative you have in US.\n\nAfter getting green card for 5 years, then you can apply for citizenship.

Try applying for a visa or a Green card at an American embassy or consulate. Then you can apply for citizenship, in which you will have to pass a test.

Diego,\n\n  go to www.uscis.gov. That is the U.S. citizenship and immigration services site. First things first, to apply for a temporary working visa without having applied for a citizenship, you will either need to be highly qualified or you will have to get an employer to apply for the papers for you, which if the latter happens the same can also apply for a citizenship. I cannot give you much data on it but the name of the form you are looking for is I-765. For more info call the USCIS immigration center 1 (800) 375-5283.\nGood Luck brother!

No, you will not have to move! When you first marry an American you will be granted conditional permanent residence! This is good for the first two years. After, you both file I-751 to remove the conditions on your status! This is a probation period to see if the marriage was entered in good faith! You can file this alone ONLY if the marriage ended by death of your spouse or abuse by your spouse! These are the only two exceptions to the law. Your full permanent residence will still be granted! You do however, will have to wait 5 years instead of 3 to apply for citizenship! In the mean time , you will be a lawful permanent resident(Green card ) Natural or accidental death of your spouse is no fault of your own!

There are several ways to obtain permanent residency, or a "green card" as it is popularly known. Most green card holders are those that have obtained jobs in the US and whose employers are sponsoring them; this is the surest way of securing permanent residency in the US. Another way is for a relative to sponsor you for a green card; however, this process takes years. Alternatively, you can marry an American citizen, although doing so for the sole purpose of obtaining immigration papers is illegal. Also, you can enter the annual diversity lottery program administered by the U.S. government, which provides green cards to nationals from particular underrepresented countries, provided they meet certain criteria for education and national origin (yes, Indonesia is eligible).

Only  US citizens can file for a fiance visa (K-1).  You can however, get married first, then apply for a spouse visa (K-3, CR-1).  But, if you marry and file the spouse visa before your wife becomes a citizen, it will probably take several years for an immigrant visa to be processed for you since priority is given to USC's first, then Permanent Residents.\n\nIf your fiancee will probably get her citizenship within 6 months, it would be best for you to just wait until she has it, then decide whether to file a K-1 (which is usually pretty quick) or a K-3 or CR-1 (which takes longer).

First of all, you would have to get your green card first and that can take years.  You would have to prove a lot of information, provide pictures etc.  Then once you receive your temporary green card, you will have to go back after two years and prove that you're still married...then once you get your permanent residency you  have to wait three years...then the naturalization process takes FOREVER.  The BCIS or whatever it's called these days, is extremely unorganized.  If you get divorced after the two  year probation period, that's usually 'ok' but if it's before then, it's usually problematic.  Good luck!  I hope you're not getting married in order to become a naturalized citizen...it's just not worth the agony.
