I’m currently studying in the UAE, doing a bachelor’s degree in Economics in English on a scholarship. I also receive a monthly allowance of 1500 AED, which I can mostly save since everything is covered by the university.

Right now I’m in my second year, and I’ve already saved about half of the German blocked account requirement using only my scholarship money, without relying on my family in Egypt. I plan to continue this system until graduation so I can complete the full amount by myself.

The university also gave me a flight ticket allowance to visit my family after completing two years. I didn’t use it to go back home and instead used the money for something I needed for my studies, so I wouldn’t have to ask my family for anything in the future. But honestly, I feel a bit guilty about not going back.

Currently, I have a B1 level in German and I’m studying towards B2, aiming to reach a higher level in the next two years. I’m also trying to extend my scholarship period so I can keep the monthly allowance and have more time for language preparation and saving money, so I can transition smoothly to the next stage, which is Germany.

My main goal is to immigrate and settle outside Egypt. I currently have several options:

1. Focus on German and apply for an Ausbildung (vocational training) in a high-demand field like IT or logistics. I’m not fully sure which one yet, but the main goal is to choose something with real demand in Germany so I don’t end up returning.
2. Do a Master’s degree in Business Administration or Finance in Germany directly. However, I’m worried about the possibility of not finding a job afterward and having to return to Egypt, which I really want to avoid.
3. Consider doing an Ausbildung in nursing to secure a stable path into Germany, then later pursue a Master’s in Health Management in Germany and combine it with my Economics degree to move into administrative roles. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad idea.
4. Apply for Master’s scholarships like many of my classmates do after graduation. The issue is that acceptance is not guaranteed. Some of my friends got scholarships and went to Malaysia, Indonesia, Qatar, etc., but once they graduate, you basically lose track of them, so I don’t have much information about their outcomes.
5. Try to focus on the UAE job market after graduation. But honestly, the entry-level job market here seems very difficult. Most companies require 5–7 years of experience, which I obviously don’t have. Also, most students who manage to get jobs here usually have family connections or a safety network in the country, which I don’t.

I’m 20 years old.

Is my plan realistic for Germany? I would really appreciate honest feedback from people who have experience studying or moving there. Any advice would be appreciated.

33 F, DINK

If I will be down to city, it would be Tokyo, Japan -> Oxford, UK

(recreated the post to follow the required format)

for context, DINK means Dual Income, No Kids.. so I am married and looking to move out with my husband.

Ive been in Oxford for about a month for Christmas and NY holidays and I liked the vibe there. Very international, diverse and most people are friendly. While living in Japan is nice, safe and convenient, it can get boring. Also this is a homogeneous country and as a non-Japanese, I want to move to a city (or even sub urbs) which has friendlier people, great startup (business) community, international and English is the main language.

London is also great but I feel safer in Oxford. During my time in UK, I havent explored other cities so if there are other cities with more job opportunities but same vibe with Oxford, less busy than London (but not too far from the city / busy area)

If anyone here is in UK - how do we move there?

both me and my husband are in tech.

I am currently working for a global IT company but actually I would rather have my own business (thus I would like to move somewhere with great startup community or at least somewhere that has good support for small businesses) and not be employed at all. If me being employed is one way to move, then sure, I will take it for may be 2 - 3 years until I get settled. I can work in any of these fields - digital marketing (whether be it ads or managing enterprise marketing tech like Salesforce), IT support, web design and development, 3d modeling & 3d printing

My husband is the real beast in tech - computer vision, robotics. How's the robotics in UK?

Our current income and rent (converted in GBP) in Tokyo:

me - £ 40,000 (annual, gross)

husband - £ 46,000 (annual, gross)

apartment rent - £ 650 (monthly, 60 sqm, 2 bedrooms, relatively low cost in Tokyo as its partly goverment owned)

(are we gonna get the same or higher if we move?)

If you are British or you are someone who managed to move to UK, would love to hear your opinions and story :)

Hey everyone. Re-posting this after narrowing down my destinations. I am a 23-year-old guy currently living in Algeria, looking for a realistic and legal pathway to relocate to either Germany or Canada based on my professional background.

Some context about my skills and experience:

- I am a former sergeant, having completed 4 years of military service.

- My primary expertise is in the fuel and petroleum logistics sector, specifically handling technical maintenance of fuel stations, equipment monitoring, and safety compliance.

- I also have strong experience in inventory management, accounting, and logistics reporting.

I am disciplined, adapted to high-pressure environments, and fluent in French and Arabic, while currently working on my English.

My questions for the community regarding Germany and Canada:

1. Given my specialized background in fuel logistics and technical maintenance, what are the most viable visa pathways? (e.g., Germany's Opportunity Card / Job Seeker pathways, or Canada's Express Entry / Federal Skilled Worker programs).

2. How does a background as a former sergeant affect the background check or security clearance process for visas in Germany or Canada? Are there specific documents I should prepare beforehand to prove my role was strictly technical/logistical?

3. Are technical certifications in fuel logistics and accounting from North Africa easily recognized in these countries, or should I look into bridge programs?

Any guidance or advice from anyone who has made a similar transition would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm looking for a place where I can maintain my US standard of living at a lower cost, with a strong focus on being able to afford raise 6+ kids and so it would need be extremely family-friendly and suitable for 6+ children.

It’s important that my kids are not sheltered from what western life would look life, but grow up in a safe environment with access to US and other passports.

I am open to countries in Eastern Europe or Asia, as I want to avoid Western countries due to their higher cost of living and decline.

Other needs:

1. They need to speak english. (I would consider learn japanese)
2. Good air quality
3. High quality food and organic or non gmo produce
4. Baby bonuses would be nice, but I know that not realistic

I have experience in internet entrepreneurship, working for myself for the past 10 years and am open to new opportunities, so location independence is key.

The country should offer good infrastructure, safety, quality education, and community support for families. My goal is to find an affordable, high-quality life without compromising safety.

I don't care multiple citizenships for myself but I want my kids to have options. I'm open to place like Georgia, or eastern european cities.

Moving to another western country like UK, France, Italy, German is a sidestep at best.

I am a registered psychometrician in the Philippines. My country is a third-world country. I think I won't be able to have a better life here due to the corrupt government. The minimum wage here is so low especially for a starting person like a fresh graduate-even with a license. I really dream of working abroad. I want to be a doctor and Bachelor of Science in Psychology as Pre-Med.Maybe I'll finish my med school here in Philippines or get a job and save up money and pursue med school in another country. The thing is I am not rich and also I don't have green card. I think it would be a long and hard process but I would do my best.
Questions:

1. What is the process of being an international student planning to study abroad in country like US or New Zealand?
2. If I plan to go to another country after finishing med school in my country, would it be so costly or hard process?
3. Do I need a green card to be able to work abroad?
   Thank you in advance and I apologize for my lack of knowledge...

Hi everyone,

I am looking for structural guidance on the most viable offshore pathways to achieve permanent residency in Australia.

I want to be completely upfront: pursuing an on-shore Australian student visa pathway is a hard financial impossibility for me. I cannot bear the upfront international tuition costs, and I do not have the financial capacity to show liquid savings of 60 to 70 Lakh INR [approx. $107,000 to $125,000 AUD / $72,000 to $84,000 USD]. I am the primary caregiver for a single parent, and maintaining my full-time salary and financial stability in Bangalore is non-negotiable.

I am looking strictly for legal, direct pathways that allow me to apply offshore from India without breaking my bank account or quitting my job before a visa is granted.

**My Profile:**

* **Age:** 27 (Male)

* **Country of Origin:** India (Current Location: Bangalore)

* **Education:** 3-year Polytechnic Diploma in Computer Science + 3-year Lateral Entry B.Tech in Information Technology (6 years total of formal higher technical education).

* **Current Profession:** I have 1 year experience as Backend Software Developer. My daily stack includes Node.js, NestJS, Express, Java, Spring Boot, and Python. I am currently upskilling aggressively into infrastructure/DevOps (Docker, Jenkins, Nginx, Kubernetes, and GitOps).

* **English:** Haven't taken the official test yet, but I am targeting a Superior score on the PTE Academic (or IELTS Academic if required by skills assessment) to secure maximum points.

---

### My Primary Questions for the Community Regarding My Options:

#### Path 1: The B.Ed to Secondary STEM Teacher Route (Offshore PR)

I am considering enrolling in a local 2-year regular, full-time B.Ed program in India to target assessment as a Secondary School Teacher (ANZSCO 241411), majoring in Computer Science with a secondary minor in Physical Science.

* **The Dilemma:** To support my family, I must continue working my full-time IT job during the degree. On paper, my timeline will show a 100% overlap between full-time corporate employment and a regular full-time degree.

* **The Question:** If I apply strictly as a fresh graduate teacher and do *not* claim any points for my IT work experience, how strictly does the Department of Home Affairs audit concurrent full-time work and study overlaps for non-claimed experience? Is this an immediate visa integrity/PIC 4020 risk at the final PR stage, or do they allow flexible/remote work declarations?

#### Path 2: Off-Shore General Skilled Migration (DevOps/IT Framework)

Alternatively, I can skip the B.Ed entirely, continue working, and apply under the IT skilled migration stream. Given my background, I would look to assess under **Developer Programmer** or **ICT Systems Engineer**.

* Knowing the points floors for general software engineers are exceptionally high, how competitive are DevOps/Infrastructure profiles for Subclass 190 (State Nomination) or Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional)?

* Which specific Australian states or regional development streams are actively inviting offshore tech applicants without requiring an on-shore job offer or local study history?

#### Path 3: Employer Sponsorship (Subclass 482 Route)

* From a recruitment reality perspective, are Australian tech employers actively sponsoring overseas DevOps and Cloud engineers directly onto temporary-to-permanent work visas (Subclass 482)?

* Aside from optimizing LinkedIn and tracking Seek.com.au, are there specialized tech recruitment agencies or job boards that focus heavily on international visa sponsorships for infrastructure roles?

I am fully prepared to invest my time into building a stellar DevOps portfolio or completing local education from India, but I need a path where my technical skills—rather than a massive bank statement—do the heavy lifting.

Would love to hear from migration agents or overseas professionals who have successfully made the jump directly through offshore streams. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here might be able to offer some honest advice or point us in the right direction.

My wife (30F) and I (30M) are British, and for years we’ve dreamed of building a life in the Netherlands. We’ve been visiting at least three times a year for the past five years, and every trip has only made us feel more certain that it’s where we want to be. We’ve also been teaching ourselves Dutch, and while we’re far from fluent, but can hold a conversation and are committed to continuing to learn. We have so many friends as well that we had to only see every now and then.

Since Brexit, we’ve realised that making this dream a reality is much more difficult than we first hoped. We’ve spent a lot of time researching the different immigration routes, but we’re starting to feel like we’re running out of realistic options.

I work as a seafarer and earn a good living, helped by the UK’s seafarer tax relief. I have a range of professional maritime certifications and a foundation degree, but not a full bachelor’s degree. My wife is a customs specialist for a large supermarket and is in a similar position, lots of experience, but no university degree.

From what we’ve seen, sponsored employment seems like the most realistic route. However, many vacancies require both fluent Dutch and a bachelor’s degree, even where we feel our experience would be valuable.
We’re not looking for shortcuts or expecting the rules to be bent, we completely understand why they exist. We just wanted to ask whether anyone has been in a similar position or knows of any routes we might not have considered. Is there another path that could realistically work for us, or is going back to university for 3–5 years before trying to find sponsorship our only practical option?

Any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions would be hugely appreciated. This isn’t just somewhere we’d like to move to on a whim, it genuinely feels like the place we’d love to call home.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Specifically, looking to do a Masters Degree apprenticeship / alternance in software or a similar field (such as data science). I understand this both makes it easier for me to get into France as a non-EU citizen (as the EU worker requirement is waived for masters apprenticeships?) and after the degree reduces citizenship residency duration from 5 years to 2 years, so if the company keeps me on after, sponsored on a work visa, it'd be possible to get a passport in a shorter time.

I have a First Class BSc in Software Engineering and have completed an apprenticeship in the UK (this is where I got my degree), working for a well-known aerospace company, so I have 4 years industry experience, generally full-stack. I'd be looking to do a similar role in France.

I expect the the application process to be:

• in Jan-Apr apply for and get accepted to a Masters program at a University (probably taught in English)
• after applying, seek specifically alternance job opportunities, given I have already been accepted on this degree, and let the company know about my acceptance onto the course
• start new job and degree in Sept

I'm studying French currently from beginner level, but I did an A Level in Spanish so I am familiar with some basic grammar structures. I know the requirement to apply for citizenship after two years is to be at B2 level, and it'd be beneficial to be applying for jobs with a basic level of French - I'm aiming to do this year's Nov-Dec quizzes in the UK to get certified to hopefully at least A2.

My questions are;

• is this a realistic prospect? Do French employers actually want to take people on for Masters degrees?
• are there any hidden obstacles that could come up?
• does anyone have personal experience moving onto an alternance as a non-EU citizen?

Thanks

Hey everyone, basically i can’t live in Lebanon anymore, certain circumstances that are making me want to leave so badlyyy, i have a bachelors degree in computer science and the plan was to always to pursue my master’s degree later on but first i have to find a job to save for it, i graduated and the job market is so so tough till now I’m without a job, there are 2 main issues here money and my GPA it’s under 75, yeah i’ll never do a degree in a global pandemic ever again, a mix between mental health battles and the economic crisis that Lebanon witnessed because of that it also took me 5 years to graduate not 3
My question is: is it possible for me to move to france or any European country to start my life? I have money saved up it’s not much but it’s better than nothing, I don’t have any relative there or any in general that is willing to help nor the support of my parents and as for my CV i have been working on it, any leads please?
Please remember to be kind we’re all going through hell

I'm in my late twenties and currently working, and I'm considering moving to London, Amsterdam, Berlin, or Lisbon. I'm really struggling to decide between them, and I wish I knew where I'd be happiest as an expat.

I only speak English and some Spanish, but I'm not sure whether that's enough since I don't speak Dutch, German or Portuguese. Do you think it would be difficult to live in Amsterdam, Berlin or Lisbon without knowing the local language?

Besides having a good job and a stable income, I think I'd be happiest if l could find friends to spend time with. I think that's what would have the biggest impact. But I don't know which of those cities l'd be most likely to find that in.

Based on my situation, where do you think I'd be happiest living? I'd love to hear from people who have lived in any of these cities or made a similar move.

I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer based in Romania, with over 3 years experience in the field (catia, solidworks, drafting and applying GD&T).
I’m looking to move to Canada for better living/higher salary and I also have relatives there.
From what I found so far is that you’re more of a tehnician there unless you get your engineering license.
Also, there was something about Canadian experience, meaning I have to leave there for a period before I can get a job?

Would be an option to work in hospitality or maybe warehouses until I manage to find something better? I have a place to stay there but not a large amount of money to start with.

My other options would be Germany, France, UK or nordic countries as they have lots of opportunities for engineers but yet I sent over 50 applications and no interview or call backs.

Hi everyone,
I am a non-EU citizen looking to move to Germany to pursue an Ausbildung (apprenticeship). I am currently learning German to prepare for this move, but I am feeling a bit lost regarding the actual procedures and what daily life actually looks like. I would love some guidance from anyone who has successfully navigated this path, regardless of where you are originally from.
Because I am starting my research from scratch, I have a few broad questions:
How does the overall application and visa process work for a non-EU applicant?
What is the reality of the cost of living in Germany, and is the average Ausbildung salary actually enough to survive on?
Looking back on your own experience, what do you wish you had known before making the move?
Thank you so much in advance for sharing your experiences and advice!

Hey everyone. I'm a 22-year-old male from Kathmandu, Nepal, about to complete my BSc in Ethical Hacking and Cybersecurity from UK affiliated University here in Nepal (UK-affiliated degree, studied locally). I want to move to Europe permanently and settle there long term.

My background:

• BSc Ethical Hacking & Cybersecurity, Coventry University (UK-affiliated), graduating 2026
• Skills: Docker, Linux, GitHub Actions, Python, cloud security, DevSecOps, CTF experience
• Interests: Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, and DevOps, open to roles and further study across all three
• IELTS 7.5 baseline
• No formal work experience yet but strong project portfolio

Visa history:
I have two prior Australian student visa rejections on my record. I'm aware this follows me and will be visible to European embassies. One of my biggest concerns is how much this impacts my chances for a European student or work visa, and what I can do to strengthen my case despite this history.

My questions:

1. What is the most realistic path for someone with my background to move to Europe — especially Germany, Norway, or Finland?
2. Has anyone from Nepal or South Asia successfully moved to Europe in cybersecurity, cloud, or DevOps? What route did you take?
3. How much do prior visa rejections from non-European countries (specifically Australia) affect European student or work visa applications? Has anyone overcome this?
4. Is working in a Middle Eastern country like Dubai first a smart stepping stone toward Europe, or does it just delay things?
5. Any Nepalis currently in Europe willing to share what the cybersecurity, cloud, or DevOps job market is actually like for international graduates?

Not looking for consultants or paid services just genuine firsthand perspectives from people who've been through this. Any advice appreciated.

Hi everyone! I’m 21 years old, Brazilian, and I don’t have a university degree yet.

I’m trying to decide what would be the best path to study and build a life in Europe.

My first option would be doing an FP (Formación Profesional) in Spain with a student visa. The second option would be trying to get into a public university in Italy and applying for the DSU scholarship, which, from what I’ve researched, can help a lot with housing, food, and other costs.

In your opinion, which path would make more sense for someone in my situation: Spain with an FP, or Italy with university + DSU?

I’d also like to know if there is any more realistic way to work legally in Europe without a degree. From what I’ve seen, getting a company to hire someone directly from Brazil seems very difficult, especially for someone who is not in IT, engineering, healthcare, or another specialized field.

In Spain, my idea would be to complete the FP, try to find a job in that field afterward, and then change from a student visa to a work permit. After that, I would stay for the required time and eventually apply for residency. Is this actually a realistic path, or is it usually very hard to make it work? Has anyone here done this or knows someone who has?

Another point is that I’m of Italian descent, but after the recent change in Italian citizenship law, I lost the possibility of applying through my family line. I’ve also read about the Permesso per Oriundi and I have a question about it.

From what I understand, to get this permit, I would first need to be hired by an Italian company, meaning I would have to get a job offer while still living in Brazil. Do you think this is actually possible for a 21-year-old without a university degree? Is it worth sending resumes to Italian companies, or is it basically a waste of time in practice?

If anyone has gone through any of these situations or can share an opinion about which path seems more realistic, I’d really appreciate it. I’m trying to research as much as possible before making a decision, and any real experience from people who have lived through this would help a lot.

Hi! I am a 22 years old guy trying to move into the UK to live with my LDR boyfriend since he is studying for arhitecture already there, I got a some questions for those who already moved into the UK. (I don't really have a desired city I wanna move to)

1. How much did it cost? Let's take myself for example but you can fill up with your experiences. I am trying to save up around 6000 pounds or more for Visa and Healthcare + Rent (and deposit) and trying to search for a job that may or not pay for a work visa, it might be impossible due to me not having higher studies so that's why I am wondering how much would it cost?
2. Did you find it hard at the start?
3. Not a question but thanks for reading!

Apologies for my lack of grammar since I've been stressing the hell out for the past days about this. I am willing to respond to y'alls questions if you have any!

PS: I know I might break a rule or two but I have done my research on Google but sadly I can only find stuff that are 5-6 years old where it was more "cheap" to move in the UK, now with the brexit I know it is a bit more difficult. I am also trying to find personal experiences, not just theories. Thank you!

So I’m an Engineer in the UK and I’m sick of living here. I have nothing tying me to the UK and I think more and more of packing up and leaving - only thing is I have no idea where I’d even start.
Can anyone give me some advice on what I’d need to look into and is there any sources of information for moving to another country and finding a job etc?

I have 10 years of manufacturing engineering experience with relevant qualifications with lots of 3/5 axis CNC machining experience too. I have also been customer facing and have delivered various types of training whilst being an applications engineer. I don’t think I’ll struggle to get a job within the manufacturing industry with the experience I have no matter what country I end up in.

I currently only speak English (can speak a little German but not enough to be proficient). I would obviously learn the native language of wherever I go, but I feel this could hinder me.

Has anyone had experience with getting a job abroad that supports you moving out there? Is it a thing?

Thanks in advance :)

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.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 21-year-old student from India currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I plan to graduate in 2027 and am looking at pursuing a Master's degree abroad.

My long-term goal is not just to study abroad but to build a career and, if possible, settle in another country.

Germany is currently my first choice because I'm already learning German and preparing for the dMAT. However, my parents strongly prefer the USA because a close family member moved there in 2015, later obtained permanent residency, and now has a stable government job. They believe the USA is a much better long-term option than Germany.

Money is fortunately not a deciding factor because my parents are willing to fund my education. However, I don't want to choose a country simply because it's more prestigious or expensive. I want to choose the country that gives me the best long-term opportunities.

My priorities are:

1. A realistic pathway to long-term residence (if I qualify)
2. Good career opportunities in AI/software
3. Salary growth
4. Quality of life

I know no country guarantees permanent residency, and I'm not looking for shortcuts. I'm trying to understand which country offers the best balance between education, career prospects, and the possibility of building a long-term life there.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have studied or worked in Germany or who have experience comparing Germany with countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, or the Netherlands.

Some specific questions I have are:

• Is Germany still a good option in 2026 for international students who hope to stay long term?
• How important is learning German for finding skilled work?
• If you were starting over today with my goals, would you still choose Germany, or would you choose another country instead?
• Are there any major downsides that I may not be considering?

Thank you!

Hey, 21F student from Czechia here. I've been studying for a BSc online at the UK university for the past two years and I would like to move to London (or somewhere else in the UK) this autumn. Ideally, I would love to continue my studies online but also at another university in person while also working, or simply move for work and continue my current degree online. The biggest issue is the cost (of course). As an EU citizen after Brexit, I would have to pay international tuition fees, which can easily be around £20,000 per year, and I simply can't afford that on top of accommodation and living expenses. I also don't think I'm eligible for UK student finance. At the moment, I'm considering several options: finishing my bachelor's degree online at the University of Essex and then apply for a master's degree in the UK next year OR apply to a UK university for in-person study, although the tuition fees seem far beyond my budget OR find a job first and move to the UK that way OR use a recruitment agency if that could help.

I'm open to any advice, whether it's about studying, working, visas, accommodation, scholarships, recruitment agencies, or any other realistic pathway.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation as an EU student after Brexit? How did you make it work?

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences or any advice you can offer. Thank you and please remain kind and respectful.

Hi everyone, my whole life I have wanted to move to the US and my desire for that just gets stronger.

As much as I love being English and love my country, I'm starting to hate living here. Opportunities are super thin and it feels borderline impossible to get a job here.

I have a lot of friends in the US and consider them some of my closest friends despite the distance and a lot of them would be very welcoming and make the integration and move as easy as possible.

One of my friends, who is currently in the Navy, suggested that I join the national guard because some people who he did boot camp with got their citizenship whilst in boot camp but unfortunately, further research into it said that I can't join without a green card.

The main field I'd want to work in would be IT. I don't have too much experience and have only had one job in IT (although I studied computer science both in my GCSEs and A-Levels).

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on how to actually get the move done. It all seems so difficult.
