Why we left USA..our story | Malayalam

Why did we leave USA? Why did we move to Australia? I shed some light on our immigration story.
Note: As of filming this video, there is an estimated 15yr+ wait time for getting a green card for somebody on H1B visa of India origin (born in India) when the green card application is filed under the EB2/EB3 category, which is applicable for a vast majority of such applicants. It is a much shorter wait time when filed under EB1 category.

Just made a simple decision to move to Australia with and we came down under with family in 2009... Although I miss England very much; Australia is a great place to live and brought up kids...As we all know every country has its own pros and cons depending on your personal circumstances...

In the USA, permanent residents (PRs) get a visa stamped on their Indian or other foreign passports and must also carry a Permanent Resident ID Card, also known as a ‘green’ card. This is similar to the system in many countries such as South Africa etc. In Australia, Permanent Residents (PRs) do not have any visa stamped in their passports as Australia has had an electronic visa system for years now. So your PR visa is electronically linked to your passport on the Dept of Home Affairs (DHA) system and can be verified by any employer using VEVO. Hope this helps you understand that it is the same visa in both Australia and the US i.e., PR = Permanent Residency

[@joejoseph2269]

Sister- well expland and was really informative..May God bless you to make more productive videos such in the future..I live in UAE for past many years and the difficult part is here to move from one job to another if you do not like.. As you explained, The Visa in gulf looks like H1B visa..The decision what you made to move to Australia is best. After so many years of working in UAE, I wish to move to Australia now and find it difficult to apply for PR as I crossed 40 and wife is nearly 40..However, letting life go on as God’s wish..Once again Wishing you all the success..🙏

I live in Australia on bridging visa to pr. I still love to go America as my childhood dreams and settle. (only my personal preference may be not recommended for everyone who want to migrate abroad)As you said America is not a bad country , moreover with green card much easy in America, guns, marijuana are legal in some states in us. Apparently, 1.As a pr holder in Australia they can unlimited hours, spouse doesn't matter. Even if you are jobless simultaneously as an Australian citizen government do financial support and when you have new born kids still support also. 2. Total stay after 4 years in Australia after pr can apply citizen ship, can get passport as well. Australia offers more than 140 countries no visa free arrival visa system with both third and first world countries including u.s. 3. Permanent residents can access Medicare which absolutely free. You need money only for medicines. 4. Australia also kinda scrutinising migration process by increasing migration points.( From 65 to 85 points.) 5. If you are in Australia can see atleast some hometown friends or relatives either which is great. Can fly to back home with budget airlines when ever you want. No huge time difference.good climate and so on. This is some of the greatest things in Australia making one of the best liveable country in the world. To ankitha from my view your spouse and you had a appreciable backup plan as us rules are not constant for non immigrants. It is not at all a bad decision, I can understand the feeling when leaving a country where love to stay. I came to Australia 6 years back when I was 19 year old. Am only the youngest one in my hometown or in Kerala Australia student also at that time, with no one contacts or relatives in Australia and ofcourse first time ever in my life abroad. I haven't visited my parents until now. Everyone have different story, difficulties I respect. Well, I think you have time now you are lucky. enjoy your life as much.things happen good and bad I n all of life that's why we still surviving. Wishing you for stay healthy and happy and many more hurdles to overcome easily. Regards Vignesh, New South Wales.

Hi Ankitha, Hi from Sydney. U obviously made a good choice of moving to Australia!! Living in Australia for more than 10 years & having visited US, I can guarantee that u made an excellent choice. Am ur subscriber from Sydney. U don’t need medical insurance here, u have plenty of holiday times, u don’t need to pay house taxes, ur kid doesn’t need to pay huge Uni academic fees when grow up. There are lot of advantages living in Australia when compared to U.S. Moreover u will get ur citizenship after 4 yrs of PR and then u can fly everywhere with no visas as well. Australia is truly the best country to live . Enjoy and all the very best
