  1. u didn't specify which country you are in, but regardless, unless you are a canadian, you would need to have a visa to enter USA.  there are immigration type visa and non-immigration type visa.  

    check out the website below and see which visa would describe what you intend / want to do. then, apply for the visa thru your ameican embassy.


  2. Get married

  3. Employers must apply for employment visas; you cannot.  You would need to find a type of job that is specified in one of the types of work visas.  There are a great many work visas, but they basically fall into 2 categories: unskilled agricultural workers (tomato pickers, etc) for up to 6 months, or college graduate with at least 2 yrs post-baccalaureate experience.  

    If an employer wants to hire you, they have to prove there are no Americans qualified for the position.  With over 380,000 Americans being laid off every week, this is increasingly difficult to prove.  In fact, employers are not renewing work visas for their foreign employees, or are terminating the job and visa outright.  In either case, employees must return to their own country immediately.

    Things are not promising on the job front here.  Unemployment is rising faster than at any time in the past 30 years, and some economists calculate more than 60 years.  Don't get your hopes up -- you will need some really outstanding qualifications to find something now.

    As for your father's cousins, they cannot sponsor your immigration.  Sponsors must be immediate family, not cousins.  No immigration application without sponsorship, and depending on your country of citizenship, a wait of up to 10 or 12 years to be admitted if you were accepted.

  4. Apply for a work visa through the american consulate or embassy.

  5. move here LEGALLY please
