Your visa is tied to your employer, correct? Don't you find that annoying?

Yes, it is WAY more relaxed from the way you are describing. Is there any way to contact you, if that is okay with you?

India. As far as I know, my passport doesn't give me any advantage

I am okay with cold/wet weather, not a problem for me.

I've worked with Europeans before (French mostly) and am familiar with the work life balance :) Kinda jealous of it :P

okay, I'll explore, thank you. I am not too particular about my salary, as long as I can sustain myself, I am happy. I live a very simple life

I don't have too much preference on where I want to go, I do know where I don't want to go - I don't want to go to countries where my visa is tied to an employer, I also don't want to go to overly religious places (like UAE etc). I prefer English speaking countries, but that is not a deal breaker.

Not really. I checked with my employer, and they told me it is at least a 10 year wait for GC, for my case. I'd like to start something of my own, but apparently it is not possible and I don't feel like waiting for a decade (for something that is not guaranteed anyway).

I don't think I am special or valuable. I guess I was lucky to come to U.S, but not lucky enough to stay here all my life.

I don't have family or possessions, so it is not an issue.

I am not from EU, and my nationality gives zero advantage, unfortunately - that is why I posted the question in the first place :(

Could you please talk a bit more about your Holland immigration experience? I will do my homework of course, but it would be good to hear from someone who has done it.

Regarding US - yes, I did explore, it doesn't seem that promising. I still have about 2 years left, so it is possible something might change, but I am not optimistic
