 When I've finished uni I'd like to live in the US as all of my relatives live there. My closest relatives are my aunts/ uncles and cousins. What would be the steps for me to take to live in the US? I've heard it's easier if I have relatives residing in the US, which I do.

 Forewarning, I don't have that much experience with this. This is all what I've been told.

It depends on how you enter. If it is because of education or work, that will be easier. You would need to apply for a Visa to study in America or a Greencard to work in America. For just normal moving, you will need apply for citizenship. That would be a first good step - especially since you can have dual citizenship. I believe there is a program where someone can sponsor you to get a visa to enter the country. You just have to show proof that you plan on living with them. I don't think that is required though. I've heard of every way to enter the country aside from just moving into the US. Hopes this is of some help. :)

 First, train yourself to ignore a lot of idiocy. Secondly, be prepared to meet extremely ignorant people. Third, bust a move.

 I've learned those techniques all ready XD . Mostly because I've spent like half of my life over there - just never lived there :\ .

 Unless you plan on moving to a large city where parking in minimal, look into a drivers license and a car. In a lot of places, public transportation is nonexistent or more impractical than taking your own vehicle. And if you subject yourself to driving school, you get a discount on your insurance.

 See, now I would have to ship my car over if I was to move. I'd also have to look into a place of my own to live, and somewhere to work; and then all the services I'd need to be hooked up to.

I doubt you could simply inform your current electricity company of a change of address. :P

 I'm pretty sure it also depends on where you're from. They'll probally not have to many issues with letting somebody from western Europe in, but people from the Middle East will probally have a pretty hard time getting in. (Not meant as a flame or in a racial way.)

So, Viral, where do you live?

That means nothing. People drive left-hand-drive cars over here. :)

So long as you're fully capable of driving a vehicle, it makes no difference what side the steering wheel is situated.

Is Viral not from London. Or is that someone else. o_O
