Of course it's possible. You will probably find countries with way more relaxed immigration processes, e.g Germany, Netherlands, Canada, Australia etc. Is it advisable? I really can't tell without knowing you and your situation. I moved to the Netherlands 2 years ago, am 35. Don't think age makes such a big difference in this thing. Did you explore all possibilities in the U.S? I would even consult a lawyer. You are already there, so it makes sense for you to explore all your options before you decide to leave.
- throwawayT 7y agoCould you please talk a bit more about your Holland immigration experience? I will do my homework of course, but it would be good to hear from someone who has done it. Regarding US - yes, I did explore, it doesn't seem that promising. I still have about 2 years left, so it is possible something might change, but I am not optimistic
- joelbluminator 7y agoHolland is quite easy to get into for skilled people. I don't know your field but if you're in IT, finance or anything healthcare you should be fine. Your salary will take a hit though, it's not the salaries you're used to from the U.S
- throwawayT 7y agookay, I'll explore, thank you. I am not too particular about my salary, as long as I can sustain myself, I am happy. I live a very simple life
- joelbluminator 7y agoEurope or Canada sound like a good option for you my friend, good luck! I'm not sure about Australia never done any research over it since it's too far for me
- joelbluminator 7y agoThat said, life might be way less stressful for you. It's just a different world, quite impossible to determine how you would like it before you try it. Weather is a bitch though, think Seattle or something like that. Work life balance is amazing here and throughout most Europe.
- throwawayT 7y agoI am okay with cold/wet weather, not a problem for me. I've worked with Europeans before (French mostly) and am familiar with the work life balance :) Kinda jealous of it :P
