My only question is:  How do you get a green card if you live in another country?

Well you're going to be near the financial center of the US and the job market is pretty good right now, so you've got that going for you. I have two pieces of advice. 1: apply, apply, apply. Don't worry if you don't think you qualify, just send in an application anyway. Doesn't hurt to try. 2: make sure your resume is in a format common here in the US. Also have someone familiar with the US work world review your resume. Using the right words and/or terms is pretty essential in getting past the initial HR screening. 

 

Do you have any work experience? Doesn't sound like it. If you DO have work experience, that will obviously help. My wife has "useless degree" (her words, not mine) but since getting her work permit, she hasn't been unemployed for more than a month (and that was the first month she had her permit). I think what helped her, besides applying to jobs like crazy, was having some useful job experience prior to moving to the US. 

 

Good luck! 

 

 

Yes I understand that work experience is very important, but I am just a fresher right out of college.

I have a 10 month experience as an article at a Chartered Accountancy firm, but I dont see how it  would help me.

 

I am going to try to beef up my resume by finding work related to my field.

 

Thank you for suggesting reviewing my resume and editing it to fit the US standards. Thats great advice and I will definitely work on it.

 

Thank you for your help

Probably through marriage based CR1 Visa. Went back to India to study or something like that.

I know this isn't a job board but from a practical standpoint I would recommend you to update your LinkedIn, etc. with your new location, etc. I work in tech and we have applicants all the time where it's hard to know their visa status. I'd also include Legal Permanent Resident on your resume if you have a non-American name to easily show you don't require sponsorship. 

Thats great advice! Thank you so much

My grandfather applied for me when I was very young. 

I just got my immigration visa in April and I'm flying to USA in August where I wish to pursue further studies.

No I'm not married, I'm only 21.

I got my green card through the F3- family based visa. My grandfather applied for my mom, my dad and me about 11 years ago.
