Hello again,
a quick job-related question! How difficult would it be for me to get a decent job? I know there's a ton of variables and almost impossible to answer but I'm just curious how well (or bad) foreigners with no U.S. references are perceived*?

Silicon Valley is expensive but the weather is the best in the Country. Job opportunity is huge and Northern California is gorgeous from SF down to Carmel. GL with your decision.

It seems very nice indeed but I'm a bit turned off by the traffic and housing situation.

Yes, a big hug would do for him. Specifically from a stereotypical Swede who is opposite to your gender - I suspect he would appreciate that very much. Perhaps even a little more than a hug if you can arrange that for him Though it is not a bad indication of what you can expect coming to the States I bet. Keep that in mind. I suspect you are looking for a mosaic culture, but all you have is a visa to a melting pot. Too bad for you. The mosaic is just north. |

This thread is kind of infected, but I would still like to get some opinions on my choices.
I have my visa interview scheduled in December which means I will take a trip to the states in January. I am going to Minneapolis to get my green card and I will spend a few days in the area, but it's not my intention to stay there so I'm going to continue to Columbus, OH which is on top of my list at the moment. I had Raleigh as a contender for a long time but from what I've heard about the heat and traffic kinda I'm not that interested anymore. I might want to check out Indianapolis, IN, Cleveland, OH and Pittsburgh, PA but it really depends on how much I like Columbus. Any thoughts on Columbus or Ohio in general? Do you think I should visit a place nearby that's a hidden gem? As always, I appreciate any tips. |

I know there's snow but Columbus doesn't get the snow and the cold we do here in Sweden by a large margin. As always, there's a tradeoff.
But forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't every city I just listed in the midwest? Do you perhaps mean the lower midwest, and if so which city would you recommend? |

My experience is that NYC is a great place, if you can afford it. If you are going to raise a family, the Dallas area is tough to beat, especially North Tarrant county or the Frisco area. Northern California is nice also, again, if you can afford it.

I've lived in Texas my whole life, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like the weather down here. It hardly ever snows.

There are differences in climate between North and South Texas but I will agree it is generally hot. The food is awesome I don't understand why you would say that. Any major city will have a mix of food options from all over the world. A lot of Mexican food (Tex-Mex) but that's a good thing. I don't think people in general are nearly as friendly as they used to be. Texans are friendly enough, but they don't put up with any B.S. Yep South Texas does indeed border Mexico. But as said before, Texas is a very large state, you can be hundreds of miles from the border and still be a in a major city. Dallas being very very far from the border. Texas has a great economy, ranking number 2 in the US, and 10th in the world. Taxes aren't too bad, no state tax, cost of living is lower than most. As said before, paradise doesn't exist. Look at facts, then weigh the pros and cons. Last edited by 3rdcoast228i; 08-15-2017 at 01:08 PM.. |

I don't see you being foreign being a problem getting a Job, long as you have the paper work. Edit: One last thing, look for a Job that offers health care benefits. Last edited by 3rdcoast228i; 08-15-2017 at 01:47 PM.. |
