I emigrated to a tropical island 5 months ago, but was lucky enough to have been offered a job here first.

Before that, I was working around Europe working for a software company (I didn't have any qualifications, just some experience in an accounting department of a bank) They sent me all round the world, and it was through people I met during those years that this opportunity came about. I'm certain that there are still a lot of jobs out there involving travel, and that you can't fail to meet people from all round the world in a job like that, which will undoubtedly help in finding a good job overseas.

The other thing about here, is that there are a LOT of people who arrive on the island with their CVs, they drop them off at a local employment agency, who seem to have lots of opportunities to give to people - I wouldn't be surprised if a similar process worked in the US.

You could take a trip, and while you're there, try and get involved with some locals, see what's going on and try and get yourself noticed - it's not what you know, or even who you know, it's coming across as a genuine, enthusiastic and honest person. If nothing comes of it, you will have had an interesting holiday.

Marrying for a green-card sounds a little desperate - what makes you want to move to America anyway? (I can understand wanting to leave the UK, I've done it myself - but why America in particular?)
