text: how do i go live in america easily? i want to work too but getting a visa is hard and complicated?   i'm sorry to say but there is really not much of a chance, especially, not a easy one.  getting married remains the easiest, unfortunately same sex marriages are not recognized by the federal government.  you can try the diversity visa lottery program, if you are lucky you can win a permanent residency.  work permits are generally granted to highly qualified professionals (minimum bachelor's degree) if you are one you have a chance.  if you are young you can try some work exchange program.  other then that you can stay in the us 6month per year as a tourist but you can't work.  this is exactly why there are so many illegals, it is very difficult to immigrate legally.
