Advice on moving to the USA to live?

My daughter wants to take her young family and move to the USA to live. We have an American family that will sponsor her. She was well educated at high school level and is in a full-time job now in Northern Ireland where she lives as a British subject. Due to the fact that she lives in Northern Ireland she can apply for joint nationally and also have an Irish passport. Can anyone advise on how the best way to apply for a work visa and really move to the USA and get on with life.
Your help is appreciated

Right now work visas are only available to college educated professionals with skills that are in high demand.

Citizens of Northern Ireland are eligible for the annual Diversity Lottery, however your daughter carries a British passport which excludes her. If her husband is a native of Northern Ireland he can apply for the Diversity Lottery for the whole family.

It is absolutely FREE to apply for the Diversity Lottery. There are many businesses that attempt to convince people to pay them money for filling out the application. These are scams. Everything needed can be found at the link.

The 2009 Diversity Lottery will open for online applications in October. Here's a link with everything you need to know.

YES!!! Stay there in Ireland!!! You say she has a full-time job there and she has a family... why move to the US? What part of the US is she looking to move too? Most places there in the US require people to have a college eduaction just to have a decent enough job to raise a family. I dont understand why people think the grass is always greener on the otherside.

A work visa is usually a H visa or a L visa, which you need higher education for, and highly needed skills for the US job. A US employer has to prove that they can not find an American to do that job. A H1B visa is a capped visa which means only a certain number a given out each year, and the US employer must apply for one as you can not sponsor yourself.

To gain a L visa you need to be already working for the US company already. And in management a role

To be sponsored for another type of visa, there is the family route (father/daughter etc) or marriage route or student visa. All of which you have to prove that the person sponsoring you can support you financially. For the student visa you have to prove that you can sponsor your while in full time school.

Do not move to Michigan. Unemployment is high, people are losing their homes. The few jobs available do not pay enough to support life.
The social tensions are rising, as our country is being invaded by foreigners that do not belong here legally.

My brother, my neighbor, my long time friend have all lost their jobs this summer, do to plant closings. And the list goes on and on. We simply can not bear the cost to care for our own families and the families of illegal immigrants.

There is growing despise for foreigners here. Immigration has put a huge burden on legal American families.

Our government has failed to address these issues. Many feel our government does not care about it's own citizens.
