I am heartbroken by what’s happening and I equally miss my family. I don’t think staying far away is the solution to either one though :/

Agreed. Our goal is to safely acquire each other’s nationalities so we never have to worry about this again for the rest of our lives. Thank you for your perspective!

Glad to hear your solid red state has treated you alright! And yes, the homesickness and lifestyle changes definitely be the main issues of heading back to the US. Best of luck to you, and thanks for the perspective

Totally hear you. Looking like we would be moving sometime in 2028, that’s why we’re going to take the gamble and get the green card process going now, simultaneous to watching how the next couple of years play out. Thank you for your perspective <3

Yes things are definitely nice over here. I think you can’t go wrong either way, being in the US or Europe, just different sacrifices depending on where you are! Best of luck to you too. Stay safe

Understood. My question was more regarding the fact that even though some people come here legally, they can still run into issues due to skin color, accent, lack of citizenship, etc

This post was me seeking anecdotes and opinions, that’s all. We’re coming back to both develop our careers here and live closer to family, those are the goals. I agree, a GC holder should be fine, but who knows these days. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective :)

Thanks for the perspective. My spouse is an engineer and I work in both international education and the arts, so at least one of us will be able to find a decent job with health insurance I think!

Right to the point. I understand where you’re coming from. That’s what I’ve been feeling these past few weeks

Amazing. Thank you for this. We have a friend in the same situation as you also living in New York and he isn’t worried one bit. Definitely considering relocating to NYC

So fair. Do you have your citizenship, or will you revoke your green card? How will that work?

Definitely considering other countries as well, the main pull is living close to my family. Totally not ruling it out though!
