Before knowing how to get a visa and migrate to the United States, you should evaluate your situation carefully and decide whether moving to the U.S. is good for you and for your family.
First of all, money is important. Do you have the financial resources to go through the legnthy and expensive immigration process? Do you have the money to move to the U.S.? If you cannot find a job in the U.S. right after you come here, will you and your family be able to survive?
Second, can you speak English? You may be able to get by without knowing much English in some parts of the country, such as New York City and San Francisco, but it may be difficult for you to look for a job that you like if you cannot speak English. Also, if you cannot speak English, you may need to rely on others and become less self-reliant.
Third, what are your employment options? Will you be able to find a job that is similar to what you are doing in the U.S.? More importantly, will your education degrees be recognized here in the U.S.?
Fourth, do you have family ties and friends in the U.S.? Many immigrants find it difficult to live in the U.S. when they first arrive because they have no friend and family around.
Fifth, if you have young children, education is going to be a huge factor to consider. Do you want to send your children to public or private school? What are the options for your children?
Sixth, if you are prone to medical issues, insurance is definitely a huge factor to consider. Are you going to purchase health insurance? If not, will you be able to cover the medical bills on your own? Although Congress is debating a comprehensive health reform bill, do not count on it until it has become law.
The above factors are only some of the basic considerations. You really need to think and plan carefully before deciding to migrate to the U.S.!

知道移民美國的方法之前，首先要考慮移民美國對你的家庭是否明智。
金錢是最重要的考慮因素。你有能力應付昂貴及漫長的移民程序嗎？你有經濟能力應付移居美國的費用，如機票、把家具寄到美國、購買新家具、汽車等嗎？如果抵達美國後不能夠馬上找到工作，你有方法提供家庭的需要嗎？
第二，你會說英語嗎？或許在美國某些地方你可能不懂英語都不會有太大問題，如紐約或舊金山﹝三藩市﹞，但不懂英語可能會成為找工作的障礙。而常常需要找其他人翻譯，也會令你失去自立的能力。
第三，找工作。你在美國會找到與你目前相約的工作嗎？你的學位在美國會被承認嗎？
第四，你在美國有朋友或家人嗎？沒有朋友或家人照應對很多新移民都是一件困難的事。
第五，如果你有小孩，教育是一項重要的考慮因素。你會把小孩送到公立或是私立的學校嗎？你打算搬到的地區學校網如何？
第六，如果你有醫療上的需要，你可以負擔嗎？你會否購買醫療保險？
以上只是一些基本要考量的因素。決定移民美國之前真的要想清楚！
