Somewhere I lost the "how to quote"
@@@Nicola...
You do not have a right - you may be qualified. Small differences can be a big deal when it comes to applications and forms.
I am a veterinarian Doctor I am planning to immigrate with my family to usa but I dont know which is best state to live and same time cheap for living,I deal with larg animals and I work in UAE ,please advise me.
Michigan is a lot like the "old country" though probably a bit colder than Serbia. More like Slovakia.
Big cities are where you will find the most employment opportunities, serbian stores, a Serb support community and they are where you will go to do all your immigration paperwork/interviews/etc. You can live in most of the aformentioned US cities without a car (and therefore you won't need to worry about the major expenses of the vehicle, maintenence, insurance, and fuel.) In the cities, you'll find neighborhood markets, much more variety of goods, and you'll be able to haggle.
White or white-ish skin will help you out if you want to live in small town USA. Small town USA life is much different from life in the old country. You will almost certainly have to drive everywhere, you'll do almost all of your shopping at one gigantic superstore. You can find everything you need, but there's not much selection and there's no negotiating the prices. People in small towns can be welcoming and helpful, but they can also be xenophobic and ignorant. Because there are fewer people, you will notice these traits more--good or bad.
It is possible to live in small-or-medium-sized towns without a car, but you will have to spend a lot of time biking from place to place and some regions have seasonal bad weather (like snow) which will make this very difficult. Medium towns usually have a bus system, but don't expect to get anywhere fast or to be able to catch a bus after 20:00.
Small town and central USA has the advantage of being cheaper than the coastal regions.
indeed! couldnt emphasize this more. im asian and living in a relatively small town after having lived in austin TX for 1.5 year. some of my patients look at my skin/face and immediately tell me "im an american and can walk out of here whether you like it or not". i wish i looked caucasian even though i may be from a foreign country. my foreign caucasian counterparts at work certainly dont encounter as much trouble as i do with regard to prejudices/discrimination especially from patients. in fact, our patients are even enamoured by their accents and would tend to participate with them better.
looking caucasian certainly makes it easier to blend in with the locals and especially when it comes to border checks. my caucasian bf and i recently went on a road trip from texas to arizona and back. his presence certainly made it easier for us to go through the checks. if i were travelling alone, i would've been checked on more.
New immigrants should stick to big cities preferably in the South as cost of living there is less as compared to East Coast or California. Places like Houston, Atlanta may not be as entertaining as New York but they are nice to start your life and later on you can move. But you need a car, old cheap car will work for the start.
