How to leave America?

Question

I want to leave the country and start a new life. My first choice would be Puerto Rico mostly because it would be the easiest to move to because its technically still America. But then again, I want to leave and never return, so that might be out. Is there any sort of Web Site or organization that may have advice for what country would be best for me, how to find jobs, the cost of living. Basically like a travel agent but for a permanent resident. Any sort of advice would be greatly appreciated. I need to get started as soon as possible.

Answer 1

Nobody is stopping you leaving. The problem is finding a country that will accept you. No reason to assume that Puerto Rico will.

Puetro Rico is NOT part of the USA. If they will accept you as a citizen you will have to renounce your US citizenship, so there's no going back.

Waste of time talking to Travel Agents. They no little, or less about immigration law.

Can only suggest you search the web to find a Country that will accept you.  Unless you have skills that are in demand your options are slight.

Answer 2

Puerto Rico is a good choice.  It's still a part of America so you don't need a visa or anything more than a plane ticket.  However, you won't be leaving America, so don't fool yourself into thinking you are.

If you want to leave the country, you need to start applying to other countries for immigrant visas.  Many countries only wanted skilled immigrants.

(For those who are ignorant of Puerto Rico)

Puerto Rico is a self-governing commonwealth in association with the United States. The chief of state is the President of the United States of America. The head of government is an elected Governor. There are two legislative chambers: the House of Representatives, 51 seats, and the Senate, 27 seats.

Puerto Rico has authority over its internal affairs. United States controls: interstate trade, foreign relations and commerce, customs administration, control of air, land and sea, immigration and emigration, nationality and citizenship, currency, maritime laws, military service, military bases, army, navy and air force, declaration of war, constitutionality of laws, jurisdictions and legal procedures, treaties, radio and television--communications, agriculture, mining and minerals, highways, postal system; Social Security, and other areas generally controlled by the federal government in the United States. Puerto Rican institutions control internal affairs unless U.S. law is involved, as in matters of public health and pollution. The major differences between Puerto Rico and the 50 states are exemption from some aspects of the Internal Revenue Code, its lack of voting representation in either house of the U.S. Congress (Senate and House of Representatives), the ineligibility of Puerto Ricans to vote in presidential elections, and its lack of assignation of some revenues reserved for the states.

Answer 3

ONLY ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS:PACK-UP AND GOOOOO;THE SOONER THE BETTER!!!!!!

Answer 4

I would ignore the ignorant answers. People will be arrogant no matter which way you look at it. You just have to swat them the same way you would swat an annoying fly.

On another positive note, I would just check out the immigraton and tourist sites for any of the countries you're thinking of migrating to. Maybe you should visit puerto rico before moving there. Do some extensive research, find out what kind of jobs and living are entailed in these countries.

Edit: Correction for "Ian M"...Puerto Rico is a US territory therefore it is part of the United States although it technically not a state. So, anyone born in Puerto Rico is an American Citizen.

Good luck with everything!!

Answer 5

there are countless websites for american expats.

a lot. google it.

america is not perfect, but other places are worse, so do your research well because you may be dissappointed to find other countries lack simple things we take for granted here.

Answer 6

You must be sure Obama is going to get elected. I don't blame you.

Answer 7

You can stay here, when Obama gets elected, this wont be America any more.

Answer 8

Go to Mexico!

If you do not like America, it should fit your needs.

Answer 9

If you are a US citizen and have a college degree in certain occupations or the equivalent, if you can find a job there, you can easily move to Canada. But if you are unskilled or without a degree, few other countries will want you. Except for very poor ones that are so crappy, you would not want to live there.

Regardless, you gave no information on what you can do or your education level. Or your interests. Without that, no one can give you good advice.
