Surprisingly not everyone wants to just up and leave their family

take their family too xd

@Donaldus Triumphus Multiply that by 20 and from 4 months to 2 years of waiting here.

is the cost different or is it just harder to get 150 dollars

both

I have more than that saved from my last job

But I need it as an emergency reserve till I gate a job

I mean the visa itself isn't too expensive. The expensive part is the flight there

And getting anything from the government is expensive and time consuming

"The expensive part is the flight there" Where? To America?

yeh, its like 2000 dollars for a plane ticket

Hmm

probably more because its from Africa

Gimme a random appropriate American airport name

um

wat

for pricing

as an example

Atlanta

^^

13000 to 20000 ZAR to Atlanta from the nearest airport to me.
Exchange rate of 12.33 ZAR to 1 USD

I did 16,000 divided by 13

thats about 1250 US dollars

yup

not too bad

that is only one way though

without transport for belongings

Which would be the idea, one way

True. But a just in case would be nice

if ur gonna move to the US permanently, might as well sell ur house in Africa

I live with my parents

And housing here isn't that valuable

how many siblings you got

domestic property value has risen below inflation

1

guess it wouldn't be too bad to move over

Going there isn’t the hard part. It’s moving there.

^^

exactly

I mean you don't need to bring your furniture over there

"might as well sell ur house in Africa"
A cheap 2-3 bedroom house with 1-2 bathrooms, garage and yard is 1 million ZAR
