Why do you want to move?
Why California and not Alaska, Mississippi, or Iowa?
Is this a permanent move? Did you check out visas and immigration information? (There are lots of previous post on this by the way.)
What line of work are you in?
Has anyone ever in the history of City Data Forum recommended that it is preferable to move without at least trying to secure a job first?

Im choosing California because there is someone there whom i wish to be close to. I m a Health care support worker ( Auxillary nurse) and i would love to begin my new life in CA. I havnt checked out Visas and immigration yet as im still not sure where to start with the move.

The 1st thing I would do is check to see if there is reciprocity between UK and California regarding your nursing license. If immigration dept. thinks you have a good chance for a job they will be less strict.

They are very strict about outside workers coming into the states now. If you can get a visa you have to return every 6 months to renew it. Better do your homework before you set your heart on it.

As far as I know, medical workers get work visas very easily. Check the immigration site for details or look at this site I came across. You might want to email them for a free consultation US Immigration Lawyer Services - Apply Online: H-1B, K-1 Fiancee Visa, US Citizenship, and More.. Good luck to you!
