    You will not be able to stay in the U.S. from March-September. The maximum will be 90 days.

    Living in the U.S. will require luck in the visa lottery, or being sponsored by an employer as a skilled professional in field that is designated as one eligible for visa sponsorship (a "specialty occupation").

    Do some research on which types of occupations get sponsored for H-1 visas and shape your studies and work experience accordingly. You will need to get a job in that field, from a company that is willing to sponsor your H-1 visa, prior to moving to the U.S.

    This question is asked - and answered - here just about every day. Go back over some of the past answers and you'll find that it's highly unlikely you'll be moving to the US. It just might take five years to get through the UK lottery! You need an employer here who will apply for a work visa for you. Who know what things will be like in five years, but right now unemployment is high and US companies have no need to look outside the US for workers.

    The US State Department website has info about immigration and work visas.
