Fascinating topic. In my own experience, home is where the heart is and unless you put your heart into America (or any place for that matter) you will never really really like it. I have known people who have lived here for 20 years but never liked it because in their minds they were always living in Nepal. I miss my friends and family back home but I've learnt that I must put aside their memories at times to make the most of my moments here. Usagal - I am happy for you and your family. Hope everything works out well. :)
