If I want to go to USA (America), how can I go?
If you want to go to the USA (America) — then first you need to know why you are going:
For work, for study, for travel, or for permanent residence (Green Card)?
Depending on this purpose, the type and process of visas are different. Below I will explain everything in simple language
1. If you want to go for travel (Travel / Visit)
Visa type: B1/B2 (Tourist/Business Visa)
Conditions:
* There must be sufficient money in the bank account (proof must be provided)
* Proof of return to your country (family, work, property, etc.) must be shown
* You must present yourself confidently in the interview
Process:
1. Fill out the DS-160 form (online)
2. Submit the visa fee ($185)
3. Get an interview date at the US Embassy
4. Give an interview with your passport, photo, bank statement, proof of work/business
If you get a visa, you can stay from 6 months to 1 year.
2. If you want to go for studies
Visa type: F1 (Student Visa)
Things to do:
1. Get admitted to a SEVP-accredited university/college in the US
2. They will give you an I-20 Form
3. Submit SEVIS Fee and Visa Fee
4. Fill out the DS-160 form and give an interview
You will need:
* Academic record (SSC, HSC, Graduation)
* IELTS/TOEFL score

3. If you want to go for work
Visa type: H-1B (Skilled Job Visa)
Conditions:
* You must be offered a job by a company in the US
* That company will sponsor your H-1B
You can first build a good profile by doing Freelancing/Remote Work.
Then contacting the company increases your chances of getting a sponsor.
4. If you want to go permanently (Green Card / Immigration)
Three main ways:
1. DV Lottery (Diversity Visa) – Applications are accepted in October-November every year (free).
2. Family Sponsorship – If you have relatives in the United States.
3. Employment Sponsorship – If a company sponsors.
DV Lottery is the easiest and most popular way.
