What’s up guys! There’s something I’ve wanted to share for some time! (Yay sounds) Today I am going to tell you how I moved to the US.
I must say that I was one of the lucky ones. Contrary to what some may people think coming to the US is not easy at all! It is not like uncle sam is somewhere in the border with Mexico saying I want you... to come in.
I came here through marriage. Yeah it was my first marriage in and I am in my 6th one already. Just kidding. My mom married a US citizen and after living a couple of years in my home country Colombia we decided to come here. After 5 years of interviews, tests and living we were able to become citizens. YAy
Family migration is just one of many ways you can make it to the US. A lot of people come different ways that may eventually give you the possibility of obtaining a green card and becoming a citizen. Family is on of the easiest ways.
Other people come as workers or students. This reminds me of my friend Luis from the Dominican Republic (say with your best Dominican Accent) who actually had an amazing story. My man here got a scholarship that pay his whhhooole college in Michigan State. The scholarship was not easy to get, especially to somebody who didn’t have connections. But my friend kept showing up to the office with his application and they eventually gave up and gave it to him. He made it and got college for Free. Damn bro. Show some love in the comments for my friend Luis.
You can also get hired by an American company that sponsors you or be one of the few in the diversity visa program, which invites about 50,000 immigrants every year from countries that normally don’t migrate to the US. SO if you happen to be from Latvia, you may get in.
Another way is if you have a lot of money. Money can buy you anything. If you invest 500,000 dollars, you get a green card right away! Easy! Okay Monopoly guy, you would have made it anywhere!
So do you want to come to the US? No problem. You may need to marry or if you are a child have your parents marry an American, be like Luis and work your butt off for a scholarship and visa, get a crazy skill and get sponsored by Elon Musk, or get 500,000, but if you have 500,000 you can donate them to convospeak our youtube channel and we will give you an american experience instead. Winky face.
Well all this makes me think of why i came to the US and how much it has meant for me to be here. I came why many come. Opportunity and being able to be safe. I come from Bogota, a city with very polite people and sometimes very polite criminals. Living there I never felt fully safe! But the thieves were nice. Could you please give me all you money sir?
ANyways in michigan I felt safer, and being in the US I was able to explore my biggest passion! Getting to know people from other culture. I meet good friends from Mexico, Japan, Cuba, India, northern MI, Arkansas… Man what I love the most about the US is the diversity.
Of course, the best thing of being in the US ahs been that I met my girlfriend Karri!
I was also able to make some dollas and travel to India, Europe and Latin America.
Coming to the US was challenging. I had to give up the whole life I knew, all of my childhood friends.
Learn about my immigratrion story and some of the ways you can make it to the US.
Today I tell you about how I received my green card and other ways I know you can come and live here. Of course this is just for entertainment purposes but I hope it is an informative video!
