student visa

hello,
my apologies if this has been already covered !
i am currently a uk electrician living in france (for 4years).
what i would like to do is go to a US college to do an electrical engineering associate , which would hopefully enhance my chances of getting in permanently.
i have a wife and 3 kids.
i have the money to support me (and family) for the duration of the course.
is there anything i should know/do before i try to get the whole thing underway.
thanks in advance

Just to let you know, an associate degree is not going to get you into the US.

ok then,
what should i aim for?
