[WeWantOut] 25F Admin 21F Artist USA -> Portugal/Canada/Mexico/China/South Korea
Hello all, I am attempting to move out of the country to help my sister get somewhere we can better take care of her health.
I am 25F with a history of Administrative & Managerial experience, which is probably my most attractive job history- as well as Janitorial & Childcare work. I have about $15k in savings I am trying to maintain or build before the move.
My sister (21) is disabled with multiple chronic conditions, including EDS, POTS, Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, and autoimmune complications.
[EDIT] We only speak English, understand some Spanish/would need to brush up on our studies
My sister is dying to get out of the country and doesn't want to be here more than a year if it can be helped, but everything I'm reading says that kind of departure wont be possible. Due to her conditions and the circumstances, I am willing to see if I could legally adopt her (California residents) if that would make a difference (could I bring her with me somewhere as my 'kid'/person with a disability I am caring for/dependent in some capacity?)
She wanted to see if medical asylum is a possibility, but since the US is still considered a safe 1st world country I don't know that that is viable anywhere ..
[EDIT] I was looking at student visas. She had dropped out of school and wasn't planning to return due to the toll her conditions have on her ability to attend regularly scheduled classes (in person or online). If it's the only way, of course we'll try, but I don't know that it would be maintainable
Open to destination suggestions not already on our list. My boyfriend is working on getting his Portuguese citizenship through his mother but that will still take a long time to process. I could get it through marriage to him, but that will still be 3 years or marriage on top of his application processing time.
He has funds to support our move and may move with us, but it's not settled until we choose a destination. He is 24 and almost done with a CS degree.
[EDIT] Our father's father(?) (Perhaps HIS father) immigrated here from China, I don't have many details but it is something I can pursue
Any advice or recommendations at all greatly appreciated.
