United States of America
Moving to the US
You will have seen the Grand Canyon, the Golden Gate Bridge and Central Park in movies and photographs, and they’re breathtaking sights. If you move to the United States of America, these places could be in your backyard – imagine that! It’s amazing to think that the scenes from some of your favourite movies could be just a bike ride away, but it’s a possibility.
Moving to the US is a big deal, and it will take a lot of careful planning. You’ll need a working visa (if you plan to work there), or at least a residency visa to stay for longer than a holiday. You’ll need to choose which of the 50 states suit you the best. Are you in the stage of life where Florida calls to you, or would you fit better living in Illinois? Before you make your decision, speak to a Move Consultant from Allied – they have helped move many people from New Zealand to the US before.
