If you win a chance at a visa, of course you pay for everything involved in actually obtaining the visa. That will cost you something over US$2000. In addition, you will need funds to pay for your move and all your living expenses in the US until you find a job which will support you.
US is a high-cost, high tax country. It will take time to find a job. Current unemployment rate in the US is 22.7%.
Over 31 million Americans are already looking for work. You'd better have some serious education and experience credentials or you will never be able to support yourself (no less a family!) in the US. Coming to US with anything less than @$12,000-20,000 could leave you in very dire straits very fast.
Just getting an apt to live in will take 3 months' rent, or @$3000, more in big cities, for first + last + deposit. Utility deposits, turn-on fees. .
. It gets very costly.
You go online to the us embassy website to see if you won. You need to pay for the application fee, medical, photos, couriers all in call it costs just over 2k. And of course there is no guarantee till you have the interview.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
