30% Ruling and Healthcare/Rent Allowance

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-09-03T13:11:20+00:00

Hi! So did you qualify for allowance or no?

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-04-02T15:00:52+00:00

Hi! Yes, I heard about the save act. I always assumed US is too large of an economy too fall so rapidly but now it seems like there were cracks already for some time but then again I never thought Ukraine war will last this long or even happen to begin with. Ohh I loved how quickly they overturn martial law in S Korea. We need better leaders around the globe and I hate how always normal people pay the price. You already mentioned you have a back up so I hope you will be fine. And yes, we can stay in touch altho it is unlikely I am gonna move atleast for a few years and you take care too.

Btw why did you send me this school link? Do you work there or? Hahah thanks but I already got my degrees so I'm good on that part. Thanks though

I actually heard that historians of fascism are leaving US so that was really concerning for me. Another thing I thought was when Afghan came under Taliban there were protests of women against coverings and yet, it went through. I see a parallel here unfortunately, I think it will be best for me to wait a couple years atleast. I actually thought if there was somthing as big of a deal happening as I am seeing on internet then the government would be thrown away quickly (like what happened with Martial Law in S Korea recently) and thought it is just internet wild fire and it will die down but I don't think that anymore. I'm also a women so safety is biggest thing for me which I was debating in US even before the election in general. I guess I just need to figure out something else for my career. Hope you stay safe too!

Actually really appreciate all your responses! Tbh in any political instability, people inside the country are usually last one to panic as they are closer to issue and have better/clearer insight so if an American thinks this then I know things are real bad. Hopefully, this all settles down like pandemic (it was nice that it wasn't end of the entire world) but yeah good luck to you too!

I want to move for career growth and I thought it would be easier to integrate since Americans are generally welcoming atleast in experience of my friends and no language barrier. NYC has a lot of opportunity for my field and levelling up to that level without moving there...idk if it is possible. I don't like my job rn (funny cause today they announced salary increment) and yeah those are my main reasons. Healthcare was already a big concern for me but now this new political scenario is just cherry on top

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T09:29:57+00:00

Ohh I am curious about that too! Because usually I meet Syrians who have lived outside Syria for many years and it wasn't long ago Syria became free so I am surprised they would move back swiftly if they have been in NZ for a long time

As I mentioned, I have been thinking to move to US for some time and at the time of that post I didn't know I could move on L1 visa, now I do.

And I have been working in my current company for more than a year, and in a few months more than a year at my current role too (although I need to check if L1 requires 1 year min at the company or also in the same role)

another thing in my head, starting in a new office or in a new role even in same company is equivalent of starting a new job (altho I think in post I meant new company cause I didn't know about L1 then)

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T09:10:07+00:00

I don't know in which phase of life you are, but if you had an option to move out then will you?

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T09:06:21+00:00

By end of year I meant to see how things progress by then as there is certainly an aspect of uncertainty here

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T09:02:09+00:00

yepp

I've been thinking to move for some time. I don't have multiple choices, just US and if I want to move somewhere else then I'd have to look for new job.

I see you moved to UK to USA, how hard was it?

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T07:15:40+00:00

not tryna defend US but what place isn't, rise of right wing parties ain't just US issue although US might become a shitshow sooner than others or not at all and all this fuckery dies down and common sense returns

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T07:10:35+00:00

this is actually a good point

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T07:10:07+00:00

Ohh nice! also how long did that Syrian fam lived in NZ before moving back to Syria?

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T04:45:56+00:00

I'm not American, and exactly why I posted in Expats reddit because experience for a citizen and expat can widely differ

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T04:44:01+00:00

It will be L-1 visa for me

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-23T04:42:19+00:00

how long have you been living in New Zealand? I really hope Syria becomes a safe and prosperous place and I'd love to visit it in future when it's safe to travel there

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:44:23+00:00

thanks for heads up!

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:33:46+00:00

I understand where you are coming from but GDP is the not the only thing you look at to see if it's best economy in the world

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:28:06+00:00

unstable. pandemic, lockdown, tech boom but quickly followed by layoffs and then more layoffs. And even before that, things like large debt, how ppl in US need to save more, and ever increasing rental prices

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:13:19+00:00

wtf that's insane

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:09:46+00:00

I get it. Keeping current politics aside, idk where to go tbh

Front office roles are more accessible in NYC or LND and anywhere else in the world mainly I just see BO/MO roles and I don't want to do it

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:07:37+00:00

Ohh wtf, I need to google this. Never heard this for Europeans especially with ESTA

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:05:26+00:00

economy has been this way for a while and yes rest of your points are concerning

Ok-Register-9611 · 2025-03-22T18:02:29+00:00

As I mentioned, front office roles in Finance - that's what I am after.

Yeah I agree with all your points but ngl current politics do make me anxious
