    I'm in my mid 30 and I'm looking for a visa for the states. But all I can find online is for post grad or student and I'm neither. I'm just looking for the same visa as oz. So I can visit the States and how beautiful it is too

    I would be great full for any help possible

    Thank you
    Joseph

    The green card lotto application is opening today but the odds are tiny and would be 2 years before you could move if successful.

    There is no "working holiday" type visa for the US other than the one for students, if that is what you are seeking. it is very difficult to get any visa for the USA, other than the Visa Waiver or if you are a close relative of a US citizen.

    If you are simply wishing to travel to the U.S. you do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days.

    However if you wish to work or stay longer it is much more complicated. Unlike Australia or Canada there is no Self-sponsoring visa for the US, but which I mean that you cannot apply for a visa on your own. Instead a U.S. citizen must sponsor you either as a family member or as an employee, the criteria as which type of family members or employees are exceptionally strict and the numbers of visas are limited.
