Hi everyone,
I have a very privileged question that I'd like to get your perspective on - MBA/US Immigration or the safety and comfort of home?
I have a good job that pays relatively well-based on living standard. A fully paid-off home, a fully paid-off car. I put in the work to better myself daily. I'm held accountable to my action, personally and professionally. I feel like what I do help people, create value for my community.
I feel enough.
I now have an opportunity to immigrate to the U.S on a Spouse Visa. There's a 14 months period to process the paperwork for which I can decide to pursue an MBA.
Again, I feel absolutely at peace and enough at the moment. I don't fear the thoughts of immigrating, doing the work to apply for a MBA or the uncertain future ahead. I fear that I desire more; social status, earnings. I fear being away from my aging family members.
Yet the opportunities to explore, to learn more, to experience more is very enticing.
A privileged dilemma ... I know. I will always have the safety net of home. At the same time, a yearning to experience more and to do greater goods is a highly enticing proposition.
My perspective is limited. And as such, writing my very 1st post to gain further perspective from those who tread before. This would be much appreciated.
Some background:
- I earned by Bachelor in Engineering in the U.S
- I'm fairly confident in landing a Top20 MBA, possibly Top 10 Program

Hi himynameislong Thanks for sharing a personal dilemma. In my opinion, the main consideration should be the length of your stay in the US. If you and your partner plan to stay in the US for a long time, I can imagine that it might be much easier for you to experience continuous professional growth with a US MBA. However, it's also possible that you find a job you like, probably similar to the one you are currently in, and you may feel you do not need an MBA at all.
Your decision to apply for the MBA should be based on your own evaluation of the various opportunities you may or may not currently have. For example, it may take some effort to find an employer willing to hire you on your dependent visa.
Alternatively, if you do feel that while you take some time to adjust to moving to the US (again) and the career uncertainties that come along with it, you can explore which schools might be most willing to support you with sponsorship during an MBA, also in case you'd want to be in the same region as your partner, so looking at the T20 schools better suited to your situation may be a good idea. All in all, it's a very broad question that you are asking here. But you have to find the answers from within the factors and variables known to you. Moving away from family is always hard and slightly even more so if you come from a place of privilege. You may not have the same support system in the US in the long term, so I would say the first thing to begin with would be to question where you see yourself in the long run. And that should help you move in the right direction with the MBA decision.
Best wishes
