I'm an Indian Citizen working in NY, USA as a Digital Media Specialist (Multimedia Content Producer, Social Media). I have around 2 years of work experience if that helps. I'm currently on the H1B work visa and due to my nationality, it'll take me decades to get a Green Card in the US. I'm interested in moving to a country where I can attain a Permanent Residency fairly quickly, thus paving a way for citizenship. I'm interested in Europe mostly Germany and Nordic countries but I wouldn't be opposed to other countries as well. Canada seems like a good option too but for some reason, Canada doesn't attract me. Israel seems like a good option but I don't know what the process is,

I have a Master's in Visual Communications(2019 Grad) along with a Bachelors in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering. I might get a second master's in UX Design as i find it really interesting and have been taking courses in it.

I don't care about TC. I just want to move to a country to a country with a similar lifestyle to the US and a good WLB.

What are my options? How should I navigate? Thanks in advance!

      haha yeah! I'm grateful to have made it so far! Didn't expect to be working in this industry a few years back.

      I want to move to a country where its easier to get a a PR and citizenship. I'm not crazy about TC. I'm a photographer and want to do freelance work along with my day job which my visa currently restricts me from.
