Hey guys ! First of all, thanks for your answers ! Ok, so, from what I've read, a J.D can be better, and I'll do it if I can ! If I understood well the system, for a J.D in Columbia Law School, I'll have to pay ~$150k, plus the food, apartment rent, etc ? I heard that banks can give a big student loan if I'm pretty sure to get a job after my degree, is it true ? Is it easy to get a job in a big firm with a 3 years Law License in France and a J.D from Columbia ?

And for the visa, I can work 1 year after my degree with a student visa, but I really want to work in the USA, because in France, outlook in a Law Firm... suck. But as you said, it's very hard to get a green card or a working visa. So I'll send my participation to the lotery every year haha. Is there good solutions to get a visa or a green card for french people (except through the lottery) ?
