I think people in AUS are more happy compare to the US counterpart especially for the students. all my friends who left for AUS are doing good and are well settled. and I also know how all my friends are doing here. here in the US, the immigration policy phucks us up really bad. As a student, you worried about your F1, college tuition and work just to get 5.15/hr. after you graduate, you worry about job, H1, travel restrictions to nepal, fear of visa denial. and after H1B, you worry about green card. and your 10-15 years are just gone thinking about all these things. I think all these statuses are accounted for most of my miserable days so far.
 i don't think in the AUS, you have to go though this. right after you graduate, you get the PR and hopefully a good job if you are a talented fellow, isn't that the case?

though social structure in AUS is not matured compare to the US but it's not that bad. since most of the Nepali are concentrated in Sydney or Melbourne, i think that you'll feel more homely with many homies living around. plus weather are pleasant there.

I think from job prospective, AUS is not bad either. they don't have high paying jobs but any middle class or average person can make a descent living from the way i see my few relatives and friends have been living in AUS.

even though i make six figure and have a job in fortune 500 company on H1B, i am still not happy with my condition with the way i have to deal with the immigration.
