What if you divorced, became a citizen, then remarried her in Ireland? Would she and the kids be able to get permanent residency then? At least y'all would pass the "do you actually know each other" test. Immigration: so how did you meet this woman? You: well you see, it all started before we got married the first time...
That is a move. I'd imagine they probably thought about that though |

Depending on your field, pay. Where else do software engineers make around 200k? |

Ha! I'm not a 'big time' stunt guy I got into it a few years ago! I literally was acting in a small movie playing ice hockey, and the stunt coordinator was like 'you actually played right?' "Yeah man I played in college" 'Oh cool can I have you take a few big hits?' I was like hell yeah lets do it, and he showed me how we could pretend to do big hits instead of actually doing them, and then he ...
That's awesome! Very best of luck with it! |

I recently knew two people who came to the US recently. One was from India, and he came for the money. He has a low six figure job as a "product manager" and the CEO's toady. He's quite ignorant of US politics and history, so he's not really concerned. The other came from canada, but also has EU residency (or citizenship? unclear). He said he makes more money here. He's making mid six figures a...

That number is completely meaningless, as it does not include cost of living. Especially health insurance and lack thereof |

I'm technically eligible as my grandparents were both Irish citizens. The one negative is my wife and kids are not. My cousin who actually works for the Irish consulate said that if I had started the paperwork prior to getting married and having kids, they would be eligible. So like I can bounce out and leave my family behind, but I really don't want to do that.
I don't think it matters if they are a citizen or not. Every EU member state has some form of spousal and dependent program to bring them in, and if not, they could likely apply without and still get granted to stay. Just get the citizenship for yourself first and go from there. |

It's definitely not meaningless. You can take 200,000 for a few years, and go back and ruin your old local housing market. That said - this comment aged like milk. CS is not a great career to be in rn thanks to AI |

Good call, I know an immigration lawyer. I might reach out to him, but I think he mostly deals with deportation stuff domestically, but he might know a bit or at least be able to put me in touch with someone who does. |

No shit, America is 300 million people and Ireland is 5 million people... smaller than NYC. There will ALWAYS be more Americans going to Ireland than Irish going to America. This article infuriates me I can't even. Next in news "More people die of rabies in USA than New Zealand! Wow!" |

From the numbers in that article it's about 1 in every 2000 Americans going in 2025. Surprisingly high rates.
9600 last year, so less than 1 in every 30000. |

That's only to Ireland. It was 180,000 left the US in total. Further down it says:

Ah, okay, I got bored before the end of the article and missed that. Thanks! |

Two ways you get to leave this country “easily”: unattached with little to lose. Go work abroad and establish residency. Cost of the plane ticket to get there. lots of money. Buy a golden visa. For the rest of us it’s a major undertaking with lots of sacrifice, upheaval, risk, and difficulty. (Yes, this is a simplification and there are exceptions, but for the most part this is true)
You forgot "marry a foreigner". People get married all the time and emigrate to their spouses' country of origin. |

Oh look. An American edgelord. How wonderful you've shown yourself to the peasants, exposed your cudgel of morality to the savages! Just when we thought you were a dying species hurtling towards an untimely extinction. Have no fear Interwebs! Your daily browbeatings will continue in fashion with the age we live in. |
