Best bet would be a student visa to attend college

so i,ll also have to attend the college and make videos too ... all the YouTubers would have entered the same way ?? what you say ..

There are other options, but the easiest route is a student visa. There are work visas and a few other but they require you landing a job here and being sponsored which is tough to do out of high school

That needs to happen first. Then worry about moving to the US or wherever.

thanks for help but as you can see PewDiePie as an example ... what you think he would have entered US as he was a full time youtubers there are others like Kwebbelkop , Slogoman .... way more ... please need a bit more help

The thing is even you were to find some other way to enter the US, you still would need a place to live i.e. pay rent, food. clothes. You may want to ask one of those Youtubers when they were able to actually move to the US. Once/if your making money then there are other ways to get in. Basically the easiest legal way is to get a student visa. I know a few people who did that then actually applied for citizen ship though that was a few years ago and still took like 15 years. She had a student visa then while in school she got a work visa after she got her degree she got a job that allowed her work visa to be sponsored. Then she worked on the citizen ship application during that time.

And contrary to popular thought...pewdiepie, Linus, etc...are not 'youtubers'...they are businesses. They have staff, payroll, pay lots of taxes...

Youtube just happens to be their display platform.
