Do you think it's worth trying to live in the US? (as someone from outside)

Unless you have a much needed skill and family already here, it will be hard. Your gonna spend at least 1k a month for a place to stay, on top of another 300-400 USD for utilities and stuff. Then your going to need a car, car insurance etc which can vary greatly in prices. I guess you could move to a large city and try to get by on public transport but then your going to end up paying more for a place to stay. On top of this your going to need a work visa to goto work, Now that you're working your ass off to provide a hovel to live in for you and your family, our schools will try and turn your child into a tranny having DEI kids is way more important then educating them anymore.

America was great back in the 40s-70s but it has fallen badly in recent years.
 
and if that fails it’s Medicare
*Medicaid, which varies by state.

OP, what attracts you (or whomever you're asking for) to the US? Do you have a specific area in mind? The experience of living in the US varies widely depending on where you are (region, state, even county/city), your frame of reference, your expectations, your means, and what you want to get out of it.

As for the bureaucracy of immigration, of course it exists. But it varies depending on whether you have a corporate sponsor/employer, how long you want to stay, whether your interest is citizenship, etc.
 
The easiest way to get a green card is to find an American who's into you and marry them. If you're an average person then that's basically your only real option, but if you're enough of an autist to be posting on the Farms then good luck with that kind of social engineering feat.
But even then that's not a great idea.

When you're going to be stopped by Kendra of US immigration because she doesn't like your surname or face, and she's eager to have an extra minute of her watching Netflix on her phone while she eats snacks, waiting for lunch-time, so she denies your application without a second thought, without consequences for her negligent actions.

And then, even if you manage to marry someone (after somehow going there, if you're not capriciously denied), there's an interview with a USCIS agent that will validate the authenticity of the marriage.
In other words, it could come down to a retard that doesn't like your face to put more obstacles in front.

Don't have a specific area right now, but it just looks like New York is a place to avoid like the plague, and people here don't have a good opinion on California, so that's a start for the elimination process.

The interest would be naturalization, and just have a normal job to start and a normal life, then over time can hopefully improve.

This whole ordeal just seems like rolling a die, even if you're perfect with your application.
The example I put with moistcritikal is him with the help of the best specialized lawyers in this case, and still, you see what happened.

Here's the thing: If you are a Euro, permanently relocating to the US is very hard by design. And unless you are already part of the upper 20% of your local income pyramid and have the opportunity to move horizontally you won't be moving to Cali or New York. If you are, congratulations because moving to the US has a chance to improve your living standards quite a bit. The American Upper Middle Class and in particular it's subset of (sub-)urban "elites", consisting near exclusively of uni-educated professionals are wealthier than ever and have made out like bandits both during the pandemic and the current economic crisis.
 
Unless America offers something that your country can’t provide, I’d just take a couple extended vacations throughout the U.S. and call it good.
 
Honestly has American I caution against it, unless you really want to live here, I'd say try other countries first.

You know you can just fly to Mexico and walk across the border like the millions of people that do this every day, right?

I've heard this numerous times, both in jest and not so much, but going there illegally isn't worth it and not my style anyways.
 
Immigration is a chore and the border people can be jerks, but we issue 50,000 immigration visas per month and make a million new permanent residents per year. (Click links for country breakdowns, they may or may not favor you.) Maybe the real numbers are higher, those are just the data I could find. So you will read some horror stories about the process, but there are countless successes you don't hear about.

Other than immigration, are you eligible for any other long-term status in the US? Student, worker, etc.?

Is it worth it? What makes America more attractive than whatever country you currently call home? Free speech? Guns? Opportunities for economic advancement? Watched too many of those "Foreigner reacts to what life is like in the US" videos on YouTube?

Not right now.

I think I like the US better (in general, not everything, rather avoid some specific things) than the country I'm in, and there might be more interesting choices for work, just more opportunities. But no, it's not because of YouTubers reacting, or guns (I'm actually not that big on guns and is a slight negative point for my consideration, that and healthcare, although I'm fairly healthy and don't have bad habits).
 
Southern Border is open! Come on in!

Make sure you don’t speak English during the whole process though, or they’ll actually deport you.

Or if you can pay enough to get into a college, you can overstay your student visa until you find someone to marry for citizenship.
