Id agree, i love it in Wisconsin, i think you would love it here too. I have lived in Iowa(twice), illinois, montana, and if you can handle the cold ere the wisconsin and chicagoland areas the best of where i have lived. You can be an hour or two from the city, wtihout the extreme costs of living, low crime rate, but still plenty of oppertunities. Best of luck Dan, and if you need any help id be willing to go get information if you are able to find out where you need it from(what dept.).

For a 2 bedroom apartment in whitewater its about $650 a month, 500 for a single bedroom efficency in madison, the same apt in any but the worst side of town will cost you 750 to 800 in chicago, near the downtown area it would cost you un upawrds of a grand for anything even remotely resembling a a place to live in lol, upwards of 1400 would be my best estimate.

Danny, I wish you luck. It's not going to be easy, man. I have friends who have moved here from other countries. They tell me amazing tales of government beaurocracy at its finest.

Thanks guys, well the most I though of before was just to make a touristic trip to the States, no more. But if I get a good opportunity over there, I mean a work package or something like that, I would do it. I believe that a person gets just one good chance in life, so I don't want to miss any door which opens in front of me...
I guess I will try that lottery out, I am an optimistic guy, maybe my luck will eventually smile for me

That website may very well be a scam. This one seemed to be one of the most legit looking ones http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/
As for income here vs. there...Its all relative. Everything PhastSVX told you is true for Wisconsin. Say you just moved here and actually make $1300/mo.. $500/month would go to your 1 bedroom apartment. Than you would have to pay utilities on top of that: $150 - Electric and Gas (can get even more expensive when it’s really cold) $50 - Cable TV $60 - Telephone service This leaves you with only $540 to spend on food and transportation. You might have to use public transportation since it would be hard to afford gas, car insurance plus food on a budget of $540 a month. I did not even mention health care. One visit to the hospital will cost you a minimum of $1000 and can go as high as tens of thousands... Health care is insane here. Unless you have a good job, which provides health Insurance for you, be ready to spend an extra $400/mo for just basic health insurance. This is what basic survival costs in Wisconsin which is cheap compared to other places like the east coast. In Virginia you can not touch an apartment for under $700 and California...forget about it |

Do yourself a favor...If you chose the east coast somewhere, stay away from NewJersey. We have among the most absurd living costs, and the highest insurance rates. from what I gather Virgina and Maryland are pretty nice as far as genral living expenses and jobs and stuff

Hmmm lots of options. Well let me tell you something:
Because of low labor rates here, Lebanese people have been scattered all over the world looking for decent jobs. The primary place was Brazil. That country alone holds more than 13 Million Lebanese alone. The second is Canada, with around 5-7 million. The third is Australia with 2-2.5 million, the fourth is Africa and the last one is USA. That only leaves 3.5 million Lebanese over here Well I need to ask about one more thing. Can jobs over there come with package? I mean if a job is in a certain State and you live in another, so they offer you work + accomodation? or I will have to look for a place + car...? Anyway let me first win this green card and I am sure all of you will help me out with those minor details ( )... you all like me right? I just don't want to get surprised from the difference of living standards between here and US. If I get that green card, I need to somewhere where I can work with the degrees I have. I need to go for a reason, in other word if someone can procure for me job interviews, I would then go primary for a visit, do job interviews, find a place to stay/transportation, check about the medical stuff... If everything is Ok (find something interesting), I would quit my job here and start my new one in the States. I know I am asking too much, but I am sure you will help me out P.S: Famous Lebanese people living abroad: -Mario Zagallo (football player and coach in Brazil), his father was Lebanese from the family Zaccour, converted to Zagallo in Brazil. -Salma Hayek, famous actress -Nicolas Hayek, president of Swatch watches -Carlos Ghosn, president of Nissan-Renault, he was the one who saved Nissan from bankruptcy in 1999 -George Chalhoub, famous Actor -Shakira, famous singer/sexAy dancer -Danny Eid, Fiberglass Wizard
