How would I move to California on a visa from the UK?
Unless you are highly skilled (high tech, medical, computer programming, finance, academic) or independently wealthy, it will be extremely hard to obtain residency in the United States, including California. Most potential residents start by finding an employer willing to sponsor them for a H1B visa - this is becoming more difficult since the demand outstrips supply, so for much of the year, there are no visas available.I would seriously think hard about moving to California, you’ll find it much more expensive than living in the UK ( apart from London), unless you find a well paid job, you will find it a struggle - the areas where the high paid jobs are like LA, SF are extremely expensive. Often, people working on H1B are kinda trapped working for the same employer since they have few options to leave their current position. You might find the California lifestyle not exactly as portrayed in the movies, I’d take an extended vacation to experience California and find out if its for you.

UK visa for US makeup artist at London Fashion Week?
Hi! I m a professional makeup artist in Los Angeles, and am considering flying to London for Fashion Week next month to work on one or more shows. I m wondering which visa is most appropriate. My husband is a UK citizen, but we both live in LA. The shows typically have an artist working between 5 and 15 hours, so it wouldn t even be a full work week. Please advise.
I wanna move to LA?
First, I am not some artist wannabe and I don't want a celebrity life. I have studied in Scotland and worked there as a lawyer. Right now I am in Chicago. Do you think if I could find a job in LA, I could afford the life there? I am a workaholic but I want a beautiful place to live and Los Angeles is my total choice.
