Ask HN: How to immigrate considering my "circumstances"?

4 pointsby bitkillerabout 11 years ago
Developer&#x2F;programmer here.<p>By circumstances I mean: wife and kids, age, skills.<p>I live in Brazil and I really would like to leave this country and definitely live in another place. I don&#x27;t have any preferences for the place right now and I accept suggestions.<p>My main issue on immigrating is to be accepted given my age (37) and family. AFAIK, having an effective job proposal and employer sponsorship is the only way for many countries. Do you know anywhere where people can go on business or as tourist and apply for jobs?

Don&#x27;t see why your age would be a problem for immigration. For many western countries, academic&#x2F;professional qualifications and financial capability (especially if applying for investor visa) matter more. I believe Canada also has a points system where you can apply to immigrate based on your qualifications without necessarily having a job lined up.<p>Why do you want to emigrate from Brazil? Listing some reasons would enable people to give you better country suggestions.<p>Mentioning your technical skills here and including some type of contact info in your profile would also be useful for anyone interested in contacting you in regards to employment.

You can go to almost any country as a tourist and apply for jobs. Just don&#x27;t mention this in your visa application or they will refuse your visa.<p>Once you have an employer willing to sponsor your H1-B &#x2F; visa &#x2F; work permit, you can go through the immigration process and move with your family.
