How can I move to USA?
georgecmu: A better choice would be Canada. For an educated professional with command of English or (even better if it's "and") French, it's very easy to become a permanent resident in Canada. 3 years later you'd be eligible for citizenship and ability to work and live in the United States (on a visa, but with very few restrictions).Otherwise, not having family in the States, you don't have many options, although not needing to work makes a few things easier.The easiest one is to enroll in an academic program. Another is to marry a US citizen. I believe Italians are still eligible for green card lottery, but you may want to double-check that. If you have 500K-1M lying around, you may invest them into a company and get a green card that way. Unless you're an Arab or a Jehova witness, you probably won't qualify for refugee status. Maybe being gay in Italy can help, but I don't have much info on that. Finally, you can get a job on an H1-B and apply for employment-based green card with your employer's cooperation.
