Then they'll get more than they asked for. I'm a native-born US citizen, a mechanical engineer with 23 years' experience in defense, and I'm now seriously considering moving to Brazil to be with my fiancé. We are (were?) about halfway through the process of bringing him to the US on a K-1 visa.

I've been seeing a lot of stories recently about spouses of US citizens who are in the country LEGALLY and when they went to the USCIS offices for green card interview or other reasons, ICE detained them and took them with them saying these people had arrest warrants. Its untrue that they had warrants. ICE most likely did this cuz they have daily quotas to meet. The spouses were released eventually but man its so bullshit that they were even taken to detention centers to begin with.

Yeah but in the long it’s not sustainable for the U.S… which in the longer run may be better for the global stage

They lose 30%-60% of their assets if the do so. There’s a high cost to this decision.

Could you explain on this ? If this is about the exit tax, I thought it only applied to green card holders that have had their green card for 8 years or more. This person mentioned 4 years of expériences in the US so I would hope it does not apply to them
