First they need to apply for a green card, which is basically permanent residency. Then you should be able to get a SSN.  But that doesn't mean you're a citizen...yet...i don't think.\n\nxo

Have you already secured a job there? That'll be the most important thing to get first and foremost, but I guess you already got that! lol\n\nThere is a special forum dealing with expats http://www.expatfocus.com/ -need to sign up before you can start asking questions.\n\nThis is what they're saying about Malta : It is extremely difficult for nationals of non-EU countries to obtain permits to work in Malta. However, if an expatriate has at least a 40% investment in a Malta-based company, they will be able to obtain a work permit for himself and one other expatriate worker. \n\nVISAs? Long-term visas are issued to visitors who wish to extend their stay beyond three months, and for business travelers. These are usually issued for a maximum of 12 months but are renewable.\n\nIf you enter Malta as a visitor and subsequently wish to settle in the country on a temporary basis, you must apply for a Temporary Resident Permit from the Department of Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs, part of the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs. Many expatriates live in Malta on temporary residence permits, which they renew annually. To qualify for a Temporary Resident Permit, you have to be able to provide evidence of an annual income of at least LM6,000 ($15,360) and an additional income of LM1,000 ($2,560) per dependent. \n\nNationals of any country can apply for permanent residence in Malta, if they can provide evidence of an annual income at least equivalent to LM10,000 or capital to the value of at least LM150,000, and the ability to remit annually to Malta at least LM6,000, plus an additional LM1,000 per dependent. Within one year of taking up residence in Malta, applicants are required to provide evidence that they have purchased property in Malta which is valued at LM50,000 or more (LM30,000 if the property is an apartment) or that they are renting property for at least LM1,800 annually. \n\nAfter you've settled there, throw a party and don't forget to invite me!!!!

I think you need to go to the Canadian Embassy and get legal to go there. Then just pack up and move.

Found some information for you , have included a link to the website also. Good Luck most of the citizenship information is in Deutch.\n\nNaturalizations of people with permanent residence outside Germany are rare. Applicants have to meet a host of requirements; you typically have to give up your present citizenship(s) in order to become a German citizen, fluency in the German language is another precondition - for more information.

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

There are many, many ways...\n\nTo get a green card specifically, you can\n - marry an American Citizen  or\n - participate in the Green Card Lottery (Diversity Program), your chances per year are about 0.5%  or\n - enter the US legally on a work Visa such as an H1B.  For that Visa you need a bachelor's degree or equivalent working experience.  Many people believe this Visa is just for Computer Specialists.  It just needs to be a specialty occupation, for example you could be the chef in a famous Indonesian Restaurant.  Then you need to find an employer that will sponsor you, and that can prove that no american employee is available to do your job.\n - If you have a Master's degree and have considerable achievements in your field of work (pulications for example), you can get a Visa or Green Card.\n\nThere are other ways, that likely do not apply.\n\nI am in the US for 7+ years now, and I am waiting for my Green Card.  It is not easy.\n\nBut, on the other hand, what would it take for an American to get Legal Permanent Residence in Indonesia?  Compared to other countries, at least there is a process.

Look at the pdf in the link there.  It has a chart right near the top, you don't need to know any swedish to read it.  If you have meet any of the listed combinations of requirements, you can apply to university. Assuming you pass the swedish test (or are going to one of the universities where the courses are in english, i don't know if they have a swedish requirement, you'll have to ask them.)\n\nHere's the pdf link again:\nhttp://www.vhs.se/upload/antagning/Utland/06%20GCE.pdf\n\nThe first one listed says 2 a levels + 3 gcse or o levels, in 5 different subjects, you can probably figure out the others from that.\n\nAND you have to pass a swedish test.\n\nHere's a whole heap of other stuff to read up on (in English)\nhttps://www.studera.nu/english.shtml\n\nAnd no matter what you do, you don't qualify for gymnasium.  You can go to komvux for gymnasium _level_ classes, or you can go to university (And you'll probably have to do both, to pass the swedish requirement)

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!

Sweden has a very high cost of living ... factor this in when you are costing for your studies.\n\nIf you want to get tuition fees I would suggest checking the Countries that you are interested in (and you can get a visa for [if applicable]) and emailing them and asking or their fee structure and whether they offer accommodation packages.\n\nHope this is of some help

The easiest way is to marry an American.  They can help you obtain a Temporary Resident Visa and then after a few years, if you qualify, you can obtain Permanent Residency.\nNowadays, it is really dificult to obtain Visas for this country.

First is to find a company to sponsor you.\n\nThere are basically two tracks: \n\n- employment-based immigration which leads to permanent residency or green card; and \n- temporary employment such as H1B visa\n\nWith employment based immigration, you first need to get Labor Certification - a process wherein the employer needs to prove the no American can fulfill the job and hence they have to hire a foreigner. This part is handled by the state's Department of Labor, and part of the procedure is to make a classified ads announcement through the papers (they require a widely circulated paper, not one of the limited circulation paper). The DOL will interview the respondents to the ad.  \n\nThis process can take anywhere from 2-5 years depending on the backlog of the state, though the Dept of Labor website  says that the backlog will be eliminated by 9/30/2007 http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/\n\nOnce you receive your labor certification, you will need to file several forms with the USCIS United States Citizenship and Immigration Services http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis . You will file for the Employment Authorization Document (EAD), which you can receive about 2-3 months after filing Form I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4a5a4154d7b3d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD . \n\nYou can receive your green card anywhere from 18-24 months\n\nRead about the various categories for the Employment Based Immigration http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1323.html\n\nAs for temporary workers visa such as H1B, this is quick to get and you can get it in about 2 months or even less. However, you are only allowed to work for 3 years and renewable for another 3 years.\n\nTo get a green card with an H1B, you employer needs to sponsor you. You will go through the labor certification process and the USCIS filings.\n\nYou can read about visas for Temporary workers at the Dept of State website \nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1271.html

To come to our country your first step would be to visit the Australian Embassy or Consulate. You could perhaps come out on a visa make sure you like the place and while here visit the Department of Immigration and lodge and application for Permanent Residency. After two years you could then make application for Australia Citizenship. We'd love to have you.

I am sorry to say that not everyone who come to visit can get a US citizenship. There are requirement clearly stated in the website: www.uscis.gov \nThe key is to be here as a permanent resident for 5 years or three years if you married to a US citizen and then you can apply for a citizenship. To be a permanent resident doesn't come easy but if you exel in sports or science, you are sponsored by a company, or if you get married to a permanent resident or a US citizen you may have a chance to become a permamnent resident ( a process that can take up to two years).\n\nGood luck, it is certainly a great country.
