Starting a career in acting?

Question

Hi
Im Jake i live in Croatia and im 15 years old.
When i turn 18 i plan to leave Europe and pursue my dream of becoming an actor in US(Los Angeles)
Of course i heard that LA is expensive so im planning to reside in Chicago or somewhere cheaper.
I decided to become an actor because of Taylor Atelian :)
I dont know why but she gave me inspiration and my dream is to one day when i and if i succeed meet her cause she is perfect :)
Is it HARD as people say to get green card and naturalization ?
I plan to attend acting schools in US.
I WILL do AnYThing to succeed.My english is perfect(grammar errors every now and then)
It makes my wanna cry when i think that its only my imagination,tell me that its possible for me to make it out there.Croatia has worse financial status than favela in Brasil
Is my dream as i speak of it possible?

I don't think you realize the challenges you face in getting jobs as an actor. And it's not about just getting a job. You need to do it continuously for years, before you get some sort of break. Which most likely will never happen. In fact it would be better to play the lottery every day. You have a bigger chance of winning that then becoming an A-list actor.

You also don't understand the challenges of getting a working visa in the US. You can not get a visa without a job. It seems to me that everyone on this planet knows the challenges of becoming an actor except the actors themselves.

Edit: Yeah whatever. You would still need to get a job employment based green card. They have certain preferences. Skilled workers, people who will create jobs, people with advanced degrees and exceptional knowledge. You are neither of those.
