If you were born in Northern Ireland, you are eligible to apply for the Diversity Visa lottery, if you want to try that route. 'Winning' nets you a green card (yes, this is a real thing; the US immigration system is crazy). There's a low chance of success - looks like 1.25-2% for Europeans, according to Wikipedia.
Britons born in other parts of the UK are not eligible.
The next lottery takes place next year, applications can be made from October. The only qualifications needed, other than nationality, are a high school education and two years work experience (http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/dive...).
