I have been in USA for few yrs.I work for a small company in H1b. They have filed my greencard for EB3 since 2008. It seems like I have to wait 3 more yrs for green card to say the least.I have my australian PR approved. I am in dilemma as people say australia is full of racists. I need suggestions especially from nepalese people who moved to australia about the situation or if they regret their decision.I haven't made up my mind on anything though.

no,  dont worry Australia is smaller version of USA minus hispanic and Kales, but full of asian people.

Racism  in Australai? I would say there is no racism( or less than USA but current priminister is more racist than they have previously experienced) in Australia but  that depends upon individual's attitude towards other people also.

What you doing here?go to Australia and in the few years time you will regret that you didnot go to Asutralia earlier.

Thanks buddy

What are the requirements to get an Australian PR?

Go to www.immi.gov.au, it was easier before because they required only 1 yr experience,nowadays its bachelors with 3 yrs experience and good english.

 Definetly USA Bro. I have lots of frens in Australia all of'em want to come to USA.Big country Big opprtunity Big proud.If u are talkin about racism, its in Nepal too. So, think about securing ur future in USA. 

Anon do we have to give ielts for immigration purpose or not

Yes, and you get points according to ielts score

Two things:
1. Australian economy has been, in a large part, untouched by global economical turmoil

2. There had been reported incidence of Asian students being beaten by Aussies, categorized under hate/race crime. But from what I am hearing, it is not as bad as it looks from outside.

@ bigreko keto #I have lots of frens in Australia all of'em want to come to USA

Bullshit ask any of your friend who has Australain PR to come to USA.I bet all you friend are still studnets in Australia.


@ stiffer 3There had been reported incidence of Asian students being beaten by Aussies, categorized under hate/race crime. But from what I am hearing, it is not as bad as it looks from outside.

Yes they were few isolated case among 500000 internationalstudnet AUSTRALIA has. Most story was given twist by Indian media.It turned our 2 muders were doen by indian themselves (to Indian) and only one by White.

@ kalopani #Aus dollar is stronger than us dollars now a days and even minimum pay is like 15 dollars for someone working in kfc in aus

I would say it around 18 dollars/hour and you get holiday pay plus 9% compulsary superannuation

you will be surprised how much money is in australia, just read this article

Even dishwashers are cleaning up

HOW much would you pay someone to wash your dishes?

At one Bowen Basin mining camp near Moranbah, kitchen hands can make an astonishing $85,000, and they're not the only ones cashing in.

Camp housekeepers, maintenance employees and receptionists can also earn twice the salary they would get in a city cafe or hotel.

Job agencies say a standard mining camp rate for unskilled kitchen work is $32 an hour about $61,000 for a 40-hour week.

MAC Village business development manager Jim Cook revealed the amazing salaries earned in some camp kitchens, with pays rising to $125,000 (plus a $50,000 bonus) for an experienced head chef.

Mr Cook said high pays were designed to attract staff and hold on to them.

Like other Bowen Basin businesses, mining camps face intense competition from the mines themselves, where pay packets are astronomical.

Another advntage of Australain PR is you dont have to stay in AUSTRALIA.The Initial grant is for 5 years but you can enter AUS and come back to USA and continue living here.You can re-enter AUSTRALIA  the day before you PR expires.

In 2 years time you will be eleigible for citizenship  which entitles you to free travel ( no visa) to USA and almost 40 other countries.

Social security is better than USA for eg, If you buying house they give you around 14000 dolars ( it was 21000 last year). When u have a  baby you get $5000. When you are unemployed you get around 300 dollar a week for each person in family.

you will also live in a virtually crime free ( comparing to USA) country , rising dollar  and thriving australian economy makes it even attractive .

Somebody's is lickin Aussie's balls so hard.
No reason to comapre USA and Australia.
 USA is USA.

Plus its closer to Nepal, relaxed and more asians .

@bigrekoketo

 and somebody is licking USA big ass black Dikk.

Why is it so hard for some of you to admit that there are better countries than USA ?

By the way I live in USA and have lived in AUS.Only thing better here are roads.Nothing else.

 and yes Kalopani its closer to home.I used to go home every year even when I was studnet.

Vname:
Look dude  U should accept the fact.USA is always better country from immigrant prospective.U said U lived in Aus and live in USA now . Why u dont go back to Aus if u like that shitty country  so much?

@ bigrekoketo ,I hold both PR  and Green card.I am staying here because of my business commitments. I will sure go back to australia to raise my childern there.

USA is USA no problem there.but form Nepalese prospective AUSTRALIA is   better as migrants and thats my view, you do not have to agree to that. Just look how many nepalese are succesfull there.

@bigrekoketo: Can you share the information about how you got the Australian PR being here in US? I am also planning to do the same since it takes very long to get GC in US with bachelors degree. If you could share how you applied and what docs you needed and how long it took, that would be helpful for other sajhaites too. I looked at the website that you stated and found out that i also met the points but don't know how and where to proceed.

Now regarding your question about Australlia/US , i would say even though you got PR over there, it's hard to find job in AUS as Melbourne and Sydney are the only places where you can get tech jobs whereas the opportunity in U.S is everywhere. So my suggestion is that to find a job from here applying online and after securing the full time job over there, you can probably move down there. Also from my g.f i found out that, AUS doesn't pay you as per the experience which means you will be getting highest $70K whereas even the restaurant worker can make $50K since the payrate is high. So there won't be much difference in income between restaurant worker and Computer programmer. Also to add in that, the living expenses is extremely high. My g.f said even a banana costs $10.99 per lb lol

Anon,

  i myself lived in australia for a long time, outside you dont' see much of a racism ..but if you work in govt or large corporation its highly racist country, if you want to progressed ahead you are limited by color/race and religion, if you work on resturant/cab etc you wont' feel any racism until u end up in QLD or Western Australia.

I have seen many of my friend left australia even they were citizen of australia for the career n better life. I travelled around USA and seen my self , visited my friends and saw how happy they are compare to here, that motivated me to make a move as well.
secondly australia housing price is overly- inflated (artificiallY)  owning a house is almost impossible unless u give up everything.
median house price runs around 550 - 600 k that is like 2 brm house with 300sqm land n almost 45 minutes from city centre.

australia is one of the highest taxed nation + very expensive place to live. yeah its little more clean, more greener, open areas..playground etc but then your savings is 0 ..even rent is way to expensive unless you decide to rent 2 bedroom apartment and share among 8-10 ppl as many of them do here now.

If you looking to progress ahead on merit basis n have more comfortable life USA is the best place to be. i 've travelled quite a lot of places and i feel USA is best for non- white people.

but if you work on hospitality/cab/cleaner Australlia pays well..the earning between highly educated intellectual and non educated profession is very similar. so its upto you

every place have pros and cons but i prefer USA and i myself looking for an opportunity in USA ..and will move if i get any.,

i hope this helps.

@sirus_me - I heard the same thing about the compensation for skilled IT professionals. I've a friend working there as DBA and he told me that the compensation over there is around 50-55k. But, here in US, it's at least 10k or more. However, he told me that it's very good if you're in healthcare industry such as RNs.

@anon - I went over the link that you gave and found out that I've enough points to apply PR. Can this be done individually? Should I follow proper channel to process PR? Can you give us your experience how you yourself processed your PR? Thanks!

Lastly, in my view, it depends on your personal situation than to really pick one country better than the other. If you've a nice/stable job in US and make enough money, you obviouslly don't want to move to Australia or Canada; and vice-versa. Personally, I've applied mine GC under EB3 and will take at least 5 yrs. So, I'm definitely looking for any other backup options.
