Hi, it is not wise just to move there and then look for work. Because what if you end up not finding a job at all can be really frustrating. It depends on what kind of field you are interested, what experiences you have before you plan on moving. One of the ideas is to find job ads online like on http://www.nationnews.com/ but even better if you get a company to sponsor you. You need to start saving some more because Barbados is an expensive place to live. I have lived there temporarily with a family (my friends') and know that money can go so fast in short period of time. I think you need a work permit in order to work in Barbados if anything. http://www.bidc.com/section2.cfm?SubSection=171 It is a very beautiful island.

you should have a job lined up before you move. there is booming hospitilaty industry. but jobs are tight, you literally could live on the beach, but they have laws against that, and be advised, they only give 6 month visas

Hell no, most of the people there are leaving to live in Canada. It's generally not a smart idea!

He would have to become an American resident, after 5 years he could apply for a citizenship.

Call your City Hall and ask. I think you will need to sponsor him for some amount of time. You need to have an income of 50k a year or more. Sometimes you can go to him and get married and then he can come back with you and then you get married here in the states. I

Somehow your English doesn't sound like you're an American, but for the sake of argument, I'll answer your question. Whether you want to get married in the US or Portugal, you will have to petition your fiance for the right to come live in America, obtain and Visa and greencard and you will have to meet some financial requirements to ensure that your fiance will not become burden to the state if he is allowed to come here. Marriage is only one of the requirements, and by itself offers no rights. This process can take up to a year to complete, which is a horrible injustice for people in love, I agree, because I went through it, and you'll have to too. You have to go to the DHS website and figure out what you're going to do from there. You can do it yourself, providing you have a home, a decent job, you will easily meet the requirements. It is also somewhat expensive, and the forms are tedious and if you make a mistake or they want more information, they will send the forms back for you to fix it. http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/

Can I apply for a Temporary Residency Visa in Portugal before I have a job

Can I apply for a Temporary Residency Visa in Portugal before I have a job?
My friend and I are US Citizens and after graduating this coming Fall we plan on traveling to Portugal. We want to work once we are there, but do not have job offers and plan on acquiring bar tending jobs, waitressing jobs or something else that we can come across once we are there. I fully understand the Schengen 90 visa rules, but what if we want to stay longer? I would like to apply for a temporary residence visa, but I need a written letter from an employer and I will not have that seeing as I don't plan on getting a job until after reaching Portugal. What should I do? Is there a way I can get a temporary residence visa without having a job first? Or do I need to get a Schengen visa and then apply for temporary residence after acquiring a job (and a working visa?)

Good luck with that. It's hard enough for local nationals to get work anyplace given the current economic situation, so I don't think you stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting any kind of work whatsoever. No, you can't get a temporary visa. If you really want to stay in Portugal, look into being an au pair.
2 :
You better try to ask on a portuguese consulate, good luck.
3 :
Orla is completely right. Its a good place to live but hard to get work. And those that have work are struggling. Plus in order to get a visa you have to have a job, or a job offer to start with. All the documentation necessary afterwards will be supplied to you by the company you are working for. And the about the au pairs, its a phenomenon how most of them in Lisbon seem to be from Brazil. I really reespect them because, brazillians will get any respectable job to survive. Respect mates. Cheers buddy.

Sony removed region codes on games designed for PS3, the consoles do not check for region code on games. They do however follow DVD movie region codes, as well as PS/PS2 region codes. So, short answer: Yes However, I don't know if you can play online with people in different countries.
