I've just signed up for a course in Criminal Psychology, since I've been wanting to do this for years.
I also want to move countries, from the UK to the US. But I'm afraid that even if I complete the course, I may not be accepted for a green card.
What should I do in to make this shit actually happen?

very unlikely that you will find sponsorship for a work visa when your only qualification is a course in Criminal Psychology (does that even count as being a Degree? Because if it doesn't then you won't even qualify for possible sponsorship).
>What should I do in to make this shit actually happen?
Study something more in demand - though keep in mind that even with great qualifications (let's say bachelors in CS and then a masters in cs from a US University) you still have nowhere near a guarantee that you can actually move to the US.

Also that's not how that works. You don't "get accepted for a green card". You find an employer willing to sponsor you and then when you get lucky (1/3 chance as the number of work visas given out is capped and there are far too many employers seeking one) you get in.
You do not apply for a blank green card on your own.

Ah, okay! I do have a few other qualifications due to time served in the British Army, mainly Engineering, since I was in the Royal Tank Regiment and we had to learn it.
I wasn't aware about the green card situation, since all the sources I have found/researched came up with so many different answers.
Thank you for clearing all of that up, though, it's greatly appreciated!

Then get a Bachelors Degree in Engineering, get good grades and then do your masters in the US (given you have good grades you should be able to get a nice number of scholarships, so the cost won't be too bad).
Network and line up with a job post graduation (if you finish your masters in the US you have a grace period in which you can look for a job, also sponsorship gets a lot easier).

Thank you for your help! You're a saviour!
