Dear all,

I am a current business undergrad in The Netherlands and I have been thinking a lot the last two years about living, studying and working in the U.S. It’s not like life isn’t good here and that I’m thinking about this because I’m poor, oppressed, lack of freedoms etc. It’s just that I sincerely believe that the American culture and mentality suits me better than the one I’m currently experiencing at my university and surroundings. Therefore, I’m thinking about studying and working in the U.S. after my undergrad graduation here and possibly even try to obtain citizenship later on. Of course this isn’t easy and so I am wondering if you maybe could give some sort of indication how hard it will be for me to get a job/green card etc. I’m a good student with a 3.5 GPA in my first 2 years and will probably do a masters in one of these 3 areas: marketing, investment banking or international relations/international security. Thank you in advance for your time and answers.

Sincerely,

Simon
