Noone should be under illusions how difficult it is though. Any country out of Europe worth moving to around the world has put a "no vacancies" sign, so it is extremely hard to move out of the UK unless you want to go to into Europe. It isn't like in Eastenders, when they just disappear to America for good when they feel like it. It has taken my dad 5 years to get his green card (although it only took my brother 1.5 years. Go figure), and many, many thousands of pounds. My mum still isn't sorted although she has a right to remain for 2 more years, and since my L2 expired, I don't have anything at the moment. I hear Australia is even harder, although Canada is easier allegedly (considered moving there a while ago), but still isn't that straight forward. Unlike us, they'll only take people that are fiancially self-supportive and have enough qualities to enrich their country.
