who are you going to work for ? It is a catch 22 here, you need a job to get a greencard but you also need a green card to work here. The INS here is aweful & they don't give good answers.

you might have to get a job at a Hamburger place or somehting like that to apply for a green card

I would check with your contacts in Germany before you get here. INS or what ever they are called today are not very helpful with Germans (I have a German friend that tried to come decades ago.

Sorry for the confusing answer. MY D-I-L (daughter in law) got a Fiance visa so she could work , it took 88 days to get processed & it was only good for 90 days, so there was 2 days left on it when she got it.

Hopefully some one else has better info than I do.

Well yeah, you'll definitely need a Visa/Greencard.

Is your job transferring you over here? If so, they might be able to arrange something.

If you don't get a Visa/Greencard they will deport you.

^ No DL required. Passport works as a DL in the States for Green Card people.


Best of luck to the OP. It's a great country with TOO much RED TAPE, and then at times, not ENOUGH!

Hi, I'm not an expert at this but,how about student visa ?Aplly for that, you have to stay somewhere, eat something,get where ever you are going to.Meaning you need a job to make money to pay for all that.Hence working permit(green card)That also means you have to attend colladge,nothing big,small comunity colladge will do.Hope this helps;)

No not realy B,works only for few months,depending on state laws.BTW once they give him the green card he'll get SS# and DL will be no problem.Cops can sometimes get fussy if you show them only passport,he'll be beter of with DL

I was joking because of the other thread where people were saying illegal immigrants were being given DLs

I knew that. And right now, I can't figure out for the life of me why I didn't get it the first time. I'm a bit slow today, I apologize.

haha, that's ok, I shouldn't have been joking in this thread anyway.

There is a thread that Kokit started about immigrating to the US a while ago, I should find it and reference it in this thread because it answers a lot of the different questions.
