    As a person mid-emigration, I have no concern how the US votes. The moment I enter my destination country, I’m never returning and never thinking about the US again. Y’all are in your own.

        In progress. Not telling. And ultimately like an estimated 8 months total, and that’s with me and my spouse both being in fast-track careers. So basically if you’re not half way you’re gonna be locked in the country by martial law in October. I suggest you buy a gun, or a Time Machine.

      Are you aware that other countries have immigration laws as well? You won’t just get a permanent visa or citizenship immediately (takes years for most countries) and until then you might have to return to or get deported to the US if things don’t work out.

        You’re talking to me like I’m just theorizing. I know exactly what I’m doing. The process will be complete FOR ME in about 8 total months from the start—which was months ago.

        When I said mid process l, I wasn’t talking about mid thought process

          I thought the process was to get a temporary working visum. I wasn’t aware you can directly get permanent visa. Good for you.

            Every country is wildly different and the process is confusing, expensive, and very stressful. I’m gonna need therapy. I’m only able to speed the process up because of careers.

            Normally I wouldn’t recommend Reddit, but if you’re considering leaving, there is SS sub for pretty much any country. I got lots of good info about things I could do to work the system.
