Hi all, im an Australian citizen with a wife and 5 children aged 7 and under.
I am employed as a full time Christian Minister and am the President of an Australian Christian Ministry which has been running since June 2004 and i have been employed full time since Dec 2004.
I have recently (a couple of months ago) started the same ministry within the US (in the state of California) from abroad, it is a not for profit organization and all of the necessaries (US bank account, tax exemption etc) are coming together as the days go by.
The Ministry starts Christian Churches in the USA and my family and I are seeking which options are available to us to move to the US as soon as possible to start the work.
The work we do obviously needs to take donations in order to survive and grow in the US and therefore we need to have a visa that allows us to live and work in the US.
Our plans are to live permanently in the US eventually and we do not want to be encumbered (if at all it can be avoided) with having to stop the work, pay for expensive flights back to Australia in order to wait for a new visa etc. We are also seeking for the quickest option to get there.
I also have no acedemic qualifications whatsoever.
Can anyone provide thoughts on the above, thanks in advance, much appreciated. Doz
