Re: Questions about Moving Back to the US
Hopefully that with a family of 7 you have budgeted a few thousand dollars a month for health insurance premiums?

Re: Questions about Moving Back to the US
I have good health insurance as I work for a big company. I pay $175 every 2 weeks for my family of four. This gets me a $3k deductible, $5k max out of pocket for an individual and an $11k max out of pocket for the family.
My BIL &SIL both work for small companies and their healthcare does not come close. Pretty sure they have a $7k deductible. Ultimately, their company doesn't have the bargaining power and quantity of employees to spread the risk across the policy and they subsequently end up with mediocre insurance.
With a family of 7, I would be targeting larger employers and make sure you understand the health benefits before starting.

Has he looked into whether his training/education /experience will transfer over here successfully? Also have you looked into the salaries that position makes. I should imagine Pennsylvania is quite an expensive state to live in.
