Severing ties with the US can take more than a year and cost thousands of dollars. But Paul, Ella, Margot and thousands of others feel they have no choice
There’s a lot I didn’t know about the process. It’d be interesting to get the view of US members of this community.
When the opportunity to move to Oz with a pathway to citizenship came up, I had to jump at it. I don’t want to raise a sprog in that environment. Ngl, I was in a privileged place to facilitate moving in the first place, but it wasn’t enough to stay in hopes of a better future there. Fully planning to renounce after gaining citizenship.
Cheers, mate. I appreciate it. It’s definitely a bit bittersweet. Being no contact with less than great family helped, but leaving behind a life built and cultivated over the course of 4 decades cut pretty close to the bone.

Wishing you all works out well. It still must hurt a bit.
