Hello, I am 2 months out from finishing my doctorate and I want to move to a new country! My brother and my family already moved different places with their jobs so there's no reason for me to stay here when I could be seeing new places too. We have a country picked out and my spouse is excited because they have close friends living in the city we're aiming for. Rather than go through all the new license-to-practice hoops [can easily cost $$$-$$$$ to establish] in the USA just to go someplace else and immediately pay for and take all the re licensing fees and exams I'm wondering if I can just... skip that part and move to a new place and take my exams there. This probably sounds pretty dumb to people who know about how to do this, but I don't know who to ask about this sort of thing. The library wasn't very helpful, and googling "move to XXX" just gives me a ton of websites loaded with either overly generic or overly complex government information and adverts for specialists that ask for a whole lot of intimate data on their webpage before they've even agreed to talk to you. I'd love to talk to a person who can help me. That has to be someones job right? Whats the name of that job? Does anyone recommend smart ways about starting the per-immigration planning process?

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
