Hey all, Anyone knows anything about migrating (from Malaysia) to the USA? I know the condition is bad right now (bearish market, unemployment, pestilences, etc), but I am really considering migration as an option 5 or 10 years down the road. There are the H1B visas, green cards, etc... Looks like there are various ways to work & live in the US (apart from entering as a student). I studied there for more than 3 years and absolutely loved the experience. Appreciate if you could share your experience with me  |

And if you moved earlier you will have the benefit of youth and time to integrate and forget all the crap that you have picked up here. Yes I am moving to Australia very very soon only wish I had done it sooner. Betta later then never I guess. Good luck. Godspeed. cheers Did you go through some kind of agency that makes the arrangement on your behalf? Or did you figure the whole thing out yourself? How long was the whole process? Hehe... sorry so many questions  |

QUOTE(Bad Cyborg @ May 22 2009, 02:13 AM) Why leave all your friends and family behind and go to a place like America? Haven't TV shows like Prison Break, 24, Burn Notice and Chuck taught you anything? It's already an established fact: all foreigners in US soil are subjected to their government's scrutiny. And they got so many agencies to serve that purpose, agencies frequently clash with each other, it is laughably ridonculous. And it takes only one small misstep on your part to land yourself in similar situation as depicted in those TV shows. Don't think it's all glitter and glamor, hot babes and cool sunshine. For one day when you wake up, you'll realize your children no longer speak your language, and insist on speaking Spanish, or Latin, or Pig Latin, or hell, even Japanese or Korean. And they do so just to piss you off. I speak from experience. Oh yeah, and then there's also this. Have you actually been to the US and lived there? You sounded like you've been there forever... |
