How will she be able to handle immigrating (legally)? Asking as a person who has lived in a foreign country (EU) for 7 years now, and before this, separately, immigrated to the states from Canada as a child, she shouldn’t migrate with/for a mere boyfriend.

America is also one of the more expensive countries to get a residency permit for.. I don’t blame her for being on the fence - her issue is not really about her boyfriend but the financial minefield of immigration.

Unless he has a citizenship, she shouldn’t considering leaning on his green card even if eventually married. As a child, my father was employed in the states, and we all had visas attached to his highly qualified profession. When my parents got divorced down the line, this put our USA residency, even as his own children, at risk.

Forget the composite. She shouldn’t move for only him. In my case, my parents were married, so of course his family needed to come with him when he transferred to a position in the states, and even then, it was incredibly difficult bureaucracy to maintain. What would be her validating purpose (to satisfy the government)?

The best bet for immigrating to any country (the easiest way, legally) is through employment or education contract.

South Korea has “Youth Work Holiday Program” for young adults with many participating countries; she could look into this option if she wants to travel abroad for long term, even without work or school, for a year or so.

I agree, it works for some people but I suppose it’s rare.

I just noticed USA is on the list! She could choose this option (the Work Holiday is so easy; I use it myself). But must brace herself this relationship isn’t going to work out. Sun square Uranus and Neptune. They’ll break up sooner or later

So she could take up the opportunity of having someone there to get established within the country, but don’t depend on him whatsoever to continue her life.

After a year, she’ll have to get a employment or education contract to extend her residency permit. Otherwise move back or travel as a young adult somewhere else.

I wish your friend good luck

Thanks doll, either way the composite isn’t looking good? I did relay what you said to her, and she understands but I think she wants to understand the composite - I think she wants more like concrete evidence?

It’s not a stable composite for partnership; don’t rely on him.

Thanks! Vaniso, I think that she is perfectly capable to do this alone, I also think he does not put in enough effort into their relationship - it seems like she is the one investing. More than anything I think she wants in into the USA and that is why she stays so connected to him, she is looking at other options though - and I think she is perfectly capable to do it alone with the help of her friends.
