The United States has a long tradition of welcoming people from all parts of the world. For most people relocating, the move is driven by the desire to provide a better life for themselves and their families. A life of ample opportunities, a chance to live in a developed country, and easier access to what many refer to as the ‘American Dream’. There are many reasons as to why people immigrate to the U.S., here are 10 benefits for relocating to the U.S.

1. Healthcare 

As a developed country, the U.S. has one of the best healthcare systems in the world. The hospitals in the country are well-funded and have world-leading medical innovation and advancement ensuring that you and your family receive the best care and treatment. The high quality of medical service raises a huge concern for most expatriates on the affordability of medical insurance and dental care. These costs should not be of great concern to expatriates as employers generally offer medical and dental policies as part of their salary packages which include their families and spouses.

 2. Education 

The academic institutions of the United States offer high quality education. There are different routes available for students as they can either attend public or private institutions depending on their needs. Additionally, there are different curriculums available to students. Students can either obtain the American diploma or the International Baccalaureate diploma, which is internationally recognized, depending on their preference. As a U.S. green card holder, you have the chance to access all education systems and further receive free public education for your children.

More importantly, the U.S. has the most world-renowned institutions for higher education. The country holds the number for the most universities ranked in the top 10 best universities in the world.

3. Economic Stability

The country has what is called a super economy as it has the strongest economy in the world. The U.S. economy has survived the Great Depression and financial crises that would have rendered any other economy unstable. The U.S. Dollar is one of the most strong currencies in the world. In fact, many countries peg their currencies against the U.S. Dollar to stabilize their exchange rate, reduce uncertainty, promote trade, and boost incomes.

4.Career Opportunities

Barring the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the unemployment rate in April 2020, the U.S. had an all time low on the employment rate of 51.3%. As a constantly growing country, employers are always looking to hire people with new skill sets to grow their businesses. Thus, seeking employment as a U.S. green card holder provides an advantage over international applicants. This is because the hiring company need not concern itself with obtaining a work visa or permit for a U.S. green card holder and thereafter there is less added cost and time associated with hiring a U.S. green card holder.

5. Weather Conditions

The country’s expansive size allows for people migrating to find a state that will be suitable for their climate needs and likings. From the sunny West Coast to the seasonal East Coast, there is a state with a favorable climate to match everyone’s preference.

6. Food 

Food is serious business in the U.S. and it caters to almost every cultural background in the country. It is a representation of the cultural diversity within the country and how people love coming together to explore different cultures and traditions.

7. Travel Opportunities 

With 50 different states in the country, there are ample travel opportunities. Each state has its own unique tradition, culture, weather, and offerings which make them ideal for vacations. Residents also have the option of crossing the borders and visiting Canada, Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands which are all within a few hours of the U.S.

8. Patriotism and a Sense of Community

The U.S. is an immigrant country but once you start living in the country and understand their way of life, you will easily form a deeper bond with the country. They have a sense of overwhelming pride in all that the U.S. is and stands for and that patriotism and love for their country creates a stronger sense of belonging and community for the people in the land. Given that the United States is a country of immigrants, everyone can easily find a community in which they can feel at home.

9. Housing Choices

There are plenty of housing choices in the U.S. and based on your and your family needs, you will be able to find a solution that is most suitable. There are city apartments, townhouses, suburban homes, and other options to choose from depending on your budget. While some of the country’s housing stock is older, there is a lot of spacious newer housing featuring standard amenities such as central heating and air conditioning, big backyards, top-of-the-line appliances, and fireplaces.

10. Convenience 

The country has prioritised convenience and easy accessibility of necessities for its people. This is evidenced by the country having shops that are open 24/7 and restaurants that close in the early hours of the morning. Convenience is almost at the driving force of any innovation they introduce, such as various applications including but not limited to Uber for transportation, Amazon for online shopping, Venmo for online transfer of funds, and many more.
