For the last six months, I was creating and building my profile on the website of LinkedIn, because it is the dream of my life to find my beloved place in the beautiful and magnificent country, in the U.S.

I would be greatly honored to be a part of the United States,
build and have an impact on the development of the economic sector. I would like so much to love and be loved by the wonderful people and country in which I would love to live and to work.

I experience that people rejected my invitation.
It can be because I am from Poland?

When you visited the United States , did you make any connections with people whilst you were there then ?

You say people rejected your invitation , but what are you inviting them to ?
Or do you mean you are applying for jobs there but have not been successful in being accepted for the job ?

And where are you meeting these people ?

Hi Moomin,

I hope you are safe and fine.

It is a business platform where you can send your application to the position in which you are interested. You can create there your Resume and if you would like you can post and connect with people and talk with them. If you would like to connect with someone and to send to this person a message for example from the industry which you are interested in, this person first has to accept your invitation.

It is my big dream to visit the United States, I feel that people in the U.S. have beautiful hearts.

U.S. Employment Visa Sponsorship
http://visaguide.world/tips/us-visa-sponsorship/

Immigrant Visas Employment Sponsorships

For the immigrant visas or Green Cards, there is also a need for employment sponsorship. From the categories, there is also an Employment Based Immigrant Visa group. Most of the visas in the group need an employment sponsorship.

EB-1 Visa – Outstanding professors, researchers, people with extraordinary abilities in arts, science, business, athletics, or education. Also executive managers who have worked at a foreign branch of a US company for the past 3 years.
EB-2 Visa – Professionals with advanced degrees and people with extraordinary abilities in arts, sciences, or business.
EB-3 Visa – Skilled workers with more than 2 years of experience, professionals with a higher education degree. Also, unskilled workers with less than 2 years of experience (EW-3 Visa).
EB-4 Visa – Various religious, government, or international organizations workers.

Some of these visas, such as the EB-1 visa allow self-petitioning. This means that in some cases, if you have such extraordinary abilities you can sponsor your own visa. You must submit all the documents and pay the fees yourself. Other visas, such as the EB-5 visa only work through self-petitioning.

How Do I Get a Sponsor Letter for US Visa?

As explained, getting a sponsorship employment visa requires you to have an offer from a US employer. The US employer must send you a contract to sign, which will then be part of the sponsorship documents.

In some nonimmigrant visas the Department of Labor first requires a Labor Certification. This is the part where the US employer proves they could not find a suitable US employee, but have to hire a foreign one.

After getting this certification, the employer submits the petition. The petition has all the supporting documents, contracts, itineraries, and qualifications of the employee. It is then submitted to USCIS. For nonimmigrant employment visa sponsorships, the employer submits Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker. For immigrant visas, the employer submits Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker.

These petitions and their instructions are in the USCIS website. If the employer wants to complete them, they can do so following those instructions. Many employers though hire a lawyer to complete them because it is very easy to make mistakes. Mistakes in filing or submissions can lead to the delay of the visa processing.

Once USCIS has the petition and the supporting documents, they process the case. Since there are so many petitions the wait time can be long. Some employees wait for months or even a year until they hear back from USCIS.

When USCIS makes a decision, they send a notice to both the employer and the employee. If they deny the petition, the notice outlines the reasons. It could be because the employee was not qualified enough or there was not enough documentation.

If USCIS decides to approve the petition, then the notice will be positive. It will then state the next steps that the employer and employee must take to get the actual visa. Then, depending on the type of visa they want, they start the application process. The application process is then done at a US Embassy in the employee’s home country.

How much does the sponsor visa cost?

Getting an employment visa sponsorship is not cheap. Especially to the US employer who has to pay most of the fees. Depending on the visa, it might cost up to a few thousand dollars to sponsor a foreign employee. Because it is so expensive, employers are reluctant to do it.

The actual fees depend on the visa type, but a general overview of the most common fees and their costs are as follows:

Form I-129 – $460
Form I-140 – $700
American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998(ACWIA) – $750 or $1,500
Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee – $500
For employers with 50 or more employees and 50% of them are foreign – $4,000 or $4,500


I wish you the best of luck in achieving your dream!

Hi Nicole
Yes I’m safe and well thanks , hope you are too :grin:

So you are sending the applications through that actual site you you mentioned then ? Hence they can decline the invitation for you to talk with them then , ok I get that a bit better now .
I wasn’t sure what you meant you were inviting them to .

Sometimes it can help a great deal knowing someone one already in a country , that’s why I asked if you had made any connections there ( presuming that you would have already visited there if you want there )
Help with like putting there feelers out for jobs for you , sending you classifieds etc helping find accommodation and that , that’s how a few of my friends have been able to get work in other countries . But if you don’t have then connections ok , that won’t be of any help then lol

I know some companies though don’t always want to employ foreign people though cus of the costs that can be involved , especially when they can employ someone from there with same qualifications with no costs involved .
So you might find this an issue.

I know there are like agencies that you can sign up with and similar things but sometimes these will ask for a fee and the same with volunteer work , this can sometimes be a foot in the door for things , but again a lot if those sites require joining fees , and I’m not sure what work you are wanting to do .
And there are some companies that do offer schemes for specific for foreign workers .
So basically what I mean is like maybe have a look about at these things as well as linked in if you haven’t already There are opportunities out there , it’s just they are not always easy to come by . And perhaps look out for companies that have places of their company in different parts of the world too as sometimes it can be possible to transfer to another area of the company which can sometimes mean another country . A few of my friends done that too ,
I wish you all the luck in trying to achieve your dream

You are right that it will be easier if I will have a friend or acquaintance who is familiar with all these procedures and who knows the law and lives there, but unfortunately, I don't have such a good friend. I will try to make a plan first.
Your suggestions are very helpful, I appreciate your help. Thank you.

In the States we have many job search helpers which can help us find the right job or career.
Many companies hire strictly from online applicants.

Here are a few job searches you might page thru to see if any companies in your interested career are hiring. Realize the larger the company, the more likely a qualified candidate from another country might be considered.

Also consider larger, world-wide US based companies have facilities in other countries which could get your foot in the door and earn yourself consideration for a US based position (temporary or permanent).

Hi Nicole waving lovely to see you back waving

There are travel and immigration restrictions for many countries at the moment because of covid . Not sure what Poland’s situation is in this regard .

It is not clear if you are seeking sponsorship for work ..,or seeking a partner or friend to help you gain entry to America .... both require a different approach .

To be successful from a work perspective you would need to demonstrate how you meet visa requirements .. particularly if you have experience in a role not easily filled by job seekers already based in America .

Seeking friendship or a potential partner usually requires forming a connection and building trust . Putting an agenda first .., ie focusing on wanting to live in America .. may act as a deterrent .. few people respond to “being used “ . A better approach may be to seek out people living in America but get to know each other ., without emphasis on relocation . Does that make sense ???

Sorry you have not had the opportunity you hoped for .. don’t give up waving

Hello Blondey111,

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice. Hope and trust you are safe, healthy, and as I remember in your posts you are always with positive and beautiful energy.
It is so nice that I met here on the forum the wonderful people to who I can always back, I am grateful for this.

The forum Mingle2 always will be a part of my beautiful memories because like you know I met here a wonderful man who was my wonderful friend. I still feel in my heart that he is and he will be in my heart and soul forever.

I am so thankful to God for his beautiful friendship and I am so thankful to God for every beautiful moment in which I could talk to him. I realize that it happens so rarely in life and it is a magnificent gift. 

When I started a conversation with this wonderful man on the forum I didn't expect that I can meet such a beautiful friendship because I was so tired of meeting scammers. At that moment I didn't believe that I could meet a love of my heart and soul. It was so unexpected and it was the first time in my life that I experienced so beautiful feelings.

I miss him so much...

I have already made it up with the fact that I have always been and will always be alone.


My dream about living in such a beautiful country in the U.S., was born I think in 2018 when I was the first time in Italy and I had to opportunity to saw how people exist and prosper abroad.

I always was loving to learn foreign languages, and I am still watching so many films and I reading books and articles about the history and culture in the United States and I feel that my heart belongs to the heart of the U.S.

Yes, you are right, I was trying to build my profile on LinkedIn because I was seeking a company that could sponsorship for a job position.

I am not a person who be able to use feelings to achieve a purpose, I think that it is needed to have traits of character which allow someone to do it.


Although, I have to admit that I don't know why but I feel in a deep of my heart that I always was dreaming about building a family and relationship with a man from another country with a beautiful culture.

I don't know that you understand what I mean by this, it is difficult to explain it, but I think that two people can build a wonderful connection if they come from two different worlds. You can learn so much from each other and blossom in a such wonderful way. 

It is for me a very touching time to back here. Thank you.

Have a beautiful day, Blondey111.:rose:

In addition to what everyone else has offered up,
there are numerous legal resources to assist Polish people
migrate to the United States.

I believe the link I posted, is for a law office in
Illinois. Though different law offices can be found in every
U.S. State.

As well, there are numerous organizations, to specifically
help people from Poland with employment placement,
before their arrival into the U.S..
Though, when it comes to immigration job placements,
there are reputable, and disreputable organizations.
So... be very alert.

Thing is, it is cheaper & easier for a company to find an American for any job.
Which means they usually only go for someone abroad when your line of work is special and it's not so easy to find someone within their country.

I remember when I wanted the same in Australia, law required the company to first advertise the job in Australia in an attempt to find an Australian to fill the job opening. And only if they couldn't find someone were they allowed to go ahead with someone from another country. Which still didn't guarantee it'd work out.

It might be the same in the US.
Some jobs are easier. In the past you could much easier get into countries when you were a nurse. And a friend back in time got into Australia cos his wife was a cabinet maker. They needed those then. They had to get married otherwise he wasn't allow to join her.
You can find lists online of what jobs are currently required.

Good luck!

This quest, dream, desire has certain potentials which could make it easier to be sponsored for citizenship.

A. You have a skill set companies really want. A home based company can hire anyone they want. When you are the 'top' in your field, companies approach you, not the other way around. Its called 'recruitment'. When your skill set is desired, a company will do everything it can to get you on their payroll.

B. You have strong family ties to a family 'thriving' in the US. A prominent family with the means to support you might sponsor your presence. In the USA, money talks. A family able to hire the right lawyers and have social power in their communities are more likely to succeed than a family with little money or social standing.

C. You find a person willing to jump thru all the hoops in the name of love. You get 'green card' status thru marriage. Its a common strategy used by dating platforms to find brides. There is, however, often negative conditions to the services. I refer to them as "Russian Bride Syndrome".

C.1 You find someone who loves you and they have the money and power to bring you to them. This is unlikely but could happen. Another example of 'money talks'. The problem with this is the fact those who have the money, also have choice of anyone they set their sights on. Which means, something about 'you' needs to be something they can't easily find.

I suspect you've never been to the USA.
Try to realize the 'glamor and glitz' may not be an accurate accounting of life in the US. Unless you have plenty of money, an extended stay in the US can be harsh. The day to day grind wears you down. People, in general, can be cold and self-absorbed. Most people ignore, avoid or fear strangers. Only personal friends are supporting and caring. Note: as with the rest of the world there are people who do care about strangers, probably similar to the people in your own country.

I suspect your infatuation with the USA is media induced, mostly. It seems you had one good friend in an online relationship but they 'ghosted' you. I believe you are experiencing 'selective observation' and only 'see' what you want to see. I think, if you were to ever reach the US, the reality would crush you.
This is common in love driven moves.
Too often, people uproot themselves in search of greener pastures and reality proves to be something they were not expecting.

D. Make absolutely sure the move is the best thing for you.
Examine the harsh reality around you now and try to realize many of those conditions will also exist here. However, what you won't have is familiar ground to fall back on. You might get here and wish you were back home.
If the job doesn't work out, you are unemployed.
If the family gets angry with you, you could be homeless.
If the person you married lied to you, you are stuck in a relationship from hell.
Here, most people you meet couldn't help you even if they wanted to. They have their own problems to deal with.
You seem to be a caring young woman but very naive. Most 'strangers' in the US would eat you alive and never give it a second thought.

You need to do a lot of unbiased research on life in these United States. You're not going to get that from movies and television shows. You won't get that from a few anonymous conversations at a dating site.

Your best bet is to foot the bill and come visit the US. Spend time on the street and in the stores, paying close attention to the random strangers you see. More of a 'watching quietly' than a meet and greet. Pay attention to how people actually interact with each other. How they react to other strangers.
How they react in public with people they do know.

Don't tour the museums and tourist attractions, tour the employment offices, gas stations and other places common to daily life. Some places are set up to deal with tourists, the staff are friendly and encouraging. Walk into a payday loan company and you will get a reality check. Try, on your own, to find an apartment. Look into buying a car. Salespersons make money if you spend your money with them. They're going to tell you what you want to hear.

Find an apartment you would really want to live in. Then find out the cost of utilities. Find out the cost for groceries. how much gas for the car is and clothing, insurance, registration for you car, taxes and all the rest of daily life needs. Are you going to have furniture in you home? Will you need personal hygiene supplies each month? What about clothing, blankets, curtains, dishes, pots & pans...You can't bring all that with you.

I have a fully furnished apartment. For an average month, I spend around $1600 to maintain my lifestyle. I am the exception. I am disabled and on fixed income. I have next to now social life. I spend most days home, alone.
I choose this lifestyle and sometimes this lifestyle chooses me. Rent steadily increases, utility costs steadily increases, the cost of food, the cost of gas and insurance for my truck...Every year, costs go up. I make too much money to get help and not enough money to thrive. I survive.
Many people are worse off than I. Many people have kids and responsibilities I no longer have.

The grass might be greener but there are big patches of dead weeds too.

Hi Tom4Uhere,

Thank you so much for your beautiful and kind answer. It was for me very touching.
How you may know about me so much...
Yes, I had a chance experience here.. a beautiful and magnificent friendship, this beautiful friendship was for me a beautiful gift.. and this gift is and will remain in my heart forever...

Yes, you are right I am naive sometimes and it is not easy...

I realize that the world is like a beautiful Rainbow, where you can find not only inspiration, love, kindness but also pain and so many greys and black layers of life.

I was wondering, if I will write here the real truth of how it looks like the life here, for people who were born, grew up, and to live in the United States, I think that for your beautiful and wonderful world, it will be not acceptable that the world where I live now, even exists..
You can't see it in any news..

No I've never been in the USA..
I think that it is not about greener pastures..it is so many wonderful aspects of life which you can experience...

Thank you so much for your thoughts. It means so much for me. I appreciate your time.

I wish you a beautiful afternoon. :rose:
