USA or Ausi - Why ?

2. My family (wife & 2 yrs old daughter) should enjoy there. Here in USA so far we feel its very lonely life. Even for my daughter we have to arrange play dates so that she can meet kids of her age. For me & my spouse, we are used to with lonelyness & materalistic life of USA. Whats the differnce in terms of family life & social circle.

Also a good article and a list of countries that permit dual citizenship here.

...which I think is what Weebie is getting at but hasn't been the case since 2002.

Please call this country Australia or the Oz, but not Ausi as there is no such expression that exists. You can call Australians as Aussies.

1: Very good career opportunities over here in Australia! People here seem to think it is lacking compared to the UK and honestly I think that is a major pile of garbage. Salaries are high in Australia but cost of living is expensive.

Australia by no means is a haven for safety that people come for. Just last week I was attack by a vietnamese kid with a knife. If you live in a good area odds are you will be safer in the states.

Right now the economy is good but it's is lagging for sure and unemployment is still expected to hit around 8% mid next year.

2: Yeah still here in Australia I can randomly pop over ot my friends house so that culture is good. I don't thtink parents organise "play dates" as such.

3: High school education is not the best but most probably loads better than the states. Brits here think the education system here is poor but in reality most middle class aussie families send their kids to private schools and don't rely on the public system. The university education system in America is obviosuly the best in the world but you pay for it.

4: Reitiring I think would be loads easier in Australia.

5: Same as first bit America is in recession so you will feel worried. Australia is good atm but who knows how long that will last obviously though it will still be stronger.

6 I dunno it really depends I guess.

Complete and utter bullcrap. One of the doctors I work with has US, Australian and UK passports. Australian was the last one she got - which was only in the last few years.
Also EU laws are changing. Only, GB, Ireland and Hollard will allow dual with Australia and even now they're very picky.

Oh yes, they do.
In many cases people have a 3 way if the third is a poorer country that simply and other governments may not even acknowledge it ie Canada, GB and Sudan...But this would never involve Australia.
Since when is Canada considered one of the poorer countries?
Australian is good with UK, Ireland and a few countries but overall it is very difficult to dual. You will meet any Italian or greeks who came out in the sixties and seventies who when Aussie citizenship arrived were forced to give up their previous nationality.
Because of the laws of Greece and Italy, not Australia
I already have Australia/USA. Hypothetically If i took out HSMP and live in London for 20 years and I could never get UK unless I decided to drop one of the other passports. You would be made to choose.
