Realistically you have just as many chances fleeing your problems within the US, without the added stress of Visas and financial requirements. Due to globalisation and social media, most of the problems you see in the US can be found elsewhere.

Often it's just luck and even on the most remote island you might find people who hate foreigners and have a problem with gays. Unfortunately this is reality and you see it across Europe, you might have a refugee who is not welcome and wants to be accepted, but that same person might have a problem with gays due to religion/beliefs. There are many countries in Europe that might seem great on paper, but just because gays are accepted on paper doesn't mean you will escape the problems.

 

First thing to consider is where in the world you have any sort of ties - knowing the language, family, have traveled to before, ancestry, have studied the culture, etc. Immigration and naturalisation requirements are tightening up around the world, so the more connection you have to a country, the more likely you are to be able to qualify for a visa, residence, and ultimately, nationality.

 

My great grandparents are from ireland. Thats a generation too far back to help me with immigration

 

Hi and welcome. Hope you can find a place to settle. I’m moving to the Philippines to be with my other half soon and no one cares about your sexual preferences here so much but you can’t get married that said we have a really nice chap on our forum who is happily settled. There are foreigners here that work for companies and off shore but the correct visa is needed.
warning though it’s far different culture and laws and a bit crazy but the big cities offer a more western style living experience.

 

If anyone has any ideas, PLEASE hit me up.

Congratulations on your marriage to a foreign national with assets and income.

Basically.

 

What? Slighting someone who replied to help you?

 

I think, if you have half a million to spare, you can still 'buy' yourself a resident card in Greece. All joking aside, things can get ugly fast pretty much everywhere. Most countries are just one election away from lunacy.

 

There are English speaking countries that skills based migration without having any specific ties. They will generally require a positive assessment of your skills and qualifications. Decades of experience will probably counter the fact that your degree is not aligned.

Australia and New Zealand come to mind, but both have a points based systems that will take into a range of factors including age, skills in demand, marriage status..

Good places to start...

Australia
