  1. We live in SF (I have been here for 6 years) and it’s an absolutely safe place to be, not more or less than any other large cities in this country. Media, for some reasons,, are painting a gross image of this gorgeous city that is absolutely untrue. There are neighborhoods in the city that are problematic (the infamous Tenderloin to name one), and places around the bay that may be less desirable, but again nothing more than anywhere else in this country. It’s a beautiful area to live in with TONS of possibilities and a buzzing work scene… however it is very expensive due to the prevalence of the tech industry and its high salaries.
  2. Immigration to the US is a real journey, you should consider the DV (green card) lottery as well. I know a few people who won, so it’s not that rare. Getting married would be the easiest path (though you’ll need to be patient…) as it grants a green card and the authorization to work.
  3. That is simply not true. A lot of tech companies rely on graphic/UX designers, of which many are from abroad and secured a job in the US via a H1B. However that visa, I think, does require a college degree as starter.
  4. I entered the country twice to visit my husband while the I-130 was being processed, going through custom was a breeze, no questioning whatsoever. Both times I had some solid evidence of ties to my country of origin should have they been needed. no need to worry, you’re doing everything legally! Use the ESTA and don’t bother with a tourist visa.
