Do not need 800 k. That's for retirees. Good Luck in your endeavors. You do need a Bachelors degree. My son is finishing up his so he can join his mother and me. Our neighbor is a teacher of English from Finland. He said being American is Golden but Bachelors Degree is a must. My son was hired at a school 2 years ago until they found out he only had an Associates Degree. So he has a few more classes left. Hopefully he finishes up by fall.
why not get a Non O without the insurance requirement. Is it a 1 year visa. I got the 90 day non O then extension of 1 year based on retirement. I am not rich either to get a LTR
