Hi, welcome to Sia and to the cryptocurrency economy.
You need a way to transfer siacoins to your wallet. Due to US and Global trade regulations, this is not a service we can provide for you. Instead, you have to use an exchange like Coinbase to get bitcoins. After you have bitcoins, you can use an exchange like Poloniex and Yunbi to trade your bitcoins for siacoins. You can also use a service like ShapeShift, which does not require you to create an account.
I'm sorry for the trouble, and I really wish there was an easier way to this. But the requirements for becoming a regulated money transmitter are beyond anything that we are able to accomplish while we are a small team. As the cryptocurrency ecosystem as a whole grows, I'm sure this will become easier.

@Taek I have a polo account with 55k sia in it. I have Sia UI running with my wallet unlocked and I selected the recieve SIA button. I got a long hash. I tried to transfer my 55k sia to that address from polo but the transaction errored on out polo. Any idea why? I noticed the hash changes each time I select the recieve SIA button. Do I need to leave it up on the hash screen while I am sending and not click it again until complete?
EDIT - Nevermind I got it. I got a hash from the recieve sia button and left it there while I did the transaction and waited a few minutes. It's showing my 55k Sia now. :)
