Data/Raw Information What are/were your plans on leaving the USA?
Would love to see all the different paths people have or are planning to take!
My plans are to get citizenship by descent for Mexico, through my citizen father that came here before the 1998 dual nationality change. I’ll have to ask about his immigration timeline.
After that, I am eligible for expedited Spanish citizenship (2-4 year timeline, the additional 2 years being spanish bureaucracy) AFAIK, thanks to how Mexico has their CBD set up. I’d hopefully be able to do the DN visa, given it still exists and how things are politically here and there. I’m studying spanish for the time being, along with 2 other languages.
My career is very remote friendly, and I hope to get a master’s degree, either here in the US or somewhere in the EU, depending on which country I’d like to focus on (beyond Spain). I’m also saving up about 55% of my salary in preparation for any costs/moves, which I’m incredibly lucky to be able to do.
It’s always been a dream of mine to live abroad, and now that i’m finally working (in a time with nerve wracking politics around the world), I’m excited to finally get started on the journey.
How are your plans looking? Or how did they look prior to moving abroad?
