What exactly is the process

[MyFrySkyTie]

of getting a visa and moving abroad. Like from England to NY?

Very much abbreviated: it starts with getting a job in NY and getting the employer to sponsor you for a visa. The employer will have to show that he can't find anyone in NY to do the job.

Then you apply for a visa. If you get accepted you go to the US and take up the job.

There's also a 'green card' lottery:

but it depends where you were born as to whether you are eligible to enter the lottery.

Or you can marry someone and go in on a K1 visa ......

Unfortunately UK is not eligible for the green card lottery only Ireland I believe.
