My wife and I are seriously considering moving to Canada after she graduates from college. We love Washington, but the Green Card system is just awful. We estimate it will still take us 3-4 years till we get ours (we're Brazilians on EB-3 - side note: I never thought I'd regret dropping out from grad school, but now I do, every single day). Until then, our stay here is at the mercy of not getting laid off.
- parennoob 12y agoBeing at the mercy of anyone is never a great idea, although it might be a regrettable necessity sometimes. So just so you know, after your adjustment for status is filed, and pending for more than 6 months, you are supposed to be able to port the green card to a new employer. Read up more about this process, and be ready to use it if necessary at the appropriate time. But definitely, weigh the costs and benefits, and do seriously consider Canada.
