Migrate or not to migrate to the U.S.

[Balikpinoy]

Hi tsikoteers,

I need an honest opinion from you guys... I have a chance to migrate to the U.S. but since the economic situation and unemployment rate are not good I'm having a second thought kung tutuloy ako or hindi. Hindi naman sa nagmamayabang ako but I am making a net income of 70K a month (deducted na po ang income tax).. If you are in my shoes are you going to migrate to the U.S.? My wife works in the bank and we have 3 kids (in grade schoool). Would you think it is advisable to just stay here and live a simple life. Any information that you can share will be appreciated. Hindi kami kasi makapag decide. Salamat po.

What line of work are you in? My parents faced the same decision back in 1982 and they decided to immigrate to the US. My dad was already Vice President of an insurance company here in Manila and his first job in the US was a bookkeeper.

Looking back, it was the best decision they made for their kids, 3 of us (15,14,9!yrs old).

PM me if you want more advice.
