The What if I Can't Wait Anymore Thread - Page 4

For once we are in the same boat. "Aqui estamos, no nos vamos, y si nos sacan, nos regresamos"!

I tell myself that if the Dream Act passes, I will finish school because it will be a lot easier and eventually still move to Spain. I am like fascinated by that country and dream of living there one day.

another reason for me to start losing weight... lol

I was specifically talking about gaining the UK version of Permanent residency AKA Indefinite-Leave to Remain through the employment based points system.UK citizenship is also likely toughened where an individual would also have to satisfy 'points' in order to be applicable for UK citizenship.

I think if your aunt applies for their sibling whom is either your mother or father it would be easier,but from my understanding it is rather difficult to get an approved application for ILR if no close relationship exists between you & your aunt where you depend on her as an adult dependent.According to some family members I have over there ILR doesn't seem to take that long at all,usually less than 7 months & you have to be legal in the country you currently reside in.

The 'Dreamer' that went to Ireland actually had EU citizenship so they have absolutely no issues pertaining to immigration.I think they took a job in the banking sector.

If the US isnt capable of taking us in then maybe they should make a bill that would say that they would help high skill immigrants immigrate to other countries. I would be happy with that if they are going to take ages with immigration reform.

Hmmm...let me guess...You're one of those that wave the Mexican flags at a march, aren't you?

Thanks for the answers. So, it looks like a family-based petition to the UK is out.

I've also considered doing that too. A lot of people that I know that have done it have made a decent amount of money. School's usually provide your housing and pay for some of your other expenses, so all you have to do is pay for your food and transportation to your job.


Thanks for the info. I was looking at the list of skills they're looking for and I guess I'd have to go as a teacher. Or immigrate after I get an offer from a law firm there.

Hmmm, why does that matter? This is just another way of stereotyping someone just like when people stereotype you! BAD BAD BAD! Anyways back to the subject.

Earlier this month the UN ranked Australia as second in the World for quality of life. Norway is ranked number one at the moment. Australia could very well end up as number one for quality of life in next year's report. In Australia over a period of a year life expectancy went up three months and income rose four percent.

1. Norway
2. Australia
3. Iceland
4. Canada
5. Ireland
6. The Netherlands
7. Sweden
8. France
9. Switzerland
10. Japan.

US was ranked 13th.

Australia is an extremely popular destination for highly skilled young people wishing to start a new life in another country. The country's economy is strong and Australia is actively encouraging the immigration of skilled migrants. Skilled migrants wishing to work in Australia will be assessed on a points based system with points awarded for work experience, qualifications and language proficiency. Other ways of obtaining immigration visas to Australia include the Australian Family Migration and Humanitarian Programs.

Australia's Migration Program for 2007-2008 provides for up to 152,800 places, with 102,500 of those under skilled migration - such as the Australian Skilled Independent visa.

This is such an amazing thread. The information is very useful and if it would come to it now we know where to start looking. In my very personal case I love this country and even though it is kind of showing it's bad face to us lately I understand it comes from the current national issues that we are currently facing. I am not a politics savvy but maybe if we were in better economic times the DA would have passed long ago. Something defenitely needs to occur for immigration in the fiscal year of 2010. But I feel like they(politicians) need to STOP playing around with us as if we could wait for the rest of our lives.

I am Colombian and although the situation overthere has improved a lot lately it is at no point the same as the United States; I mean people don't get kidnapped for no reason by guerrillas and your father is not killed by a bomb here. Like it happened in my case.
Going back??? Pfffffff Idts.
Going to another country?? Maybe, if it's all I had left to do.

When I was brought here my mom was in charge of all expenses and I feel like I wouldn't even have the money to try chances in another country all by myself ( although the experience sounds thrilling).


I haven't been able to attend college because I can't afford it. And transportation in miami is a nightmare!!!

I dream of the DA being enacted. That's all I can dream about.
