I'm sorry that you feel that way. In my opinion the 'hate the most' label is better applied to Russian troops and government, not to Ukrainian civilians that happen to suffer in the destroyed city. And, with all due respect, that's pretty rich of you to throw accusations without knowing my circumstances.
"Just get your foot in the door and things will go from there."
I've heard such argument and it is optimistic and hopeful, but immigration status needs some basis to acquire. I wonder about perspectives of legally staying and working beyond 2 years of temporary protection (I believe tech firms don't employ undocumented engineers).
It is easier to acquire such status once you are inside. Governments have a hard time getting people out than refusing their entry before they board from their destination. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but the odds are less likely.
This is really a comparison of what you have now in Russia vs. how it could be in the US. If the Russia government was about to make life bad for every Ukrainian inside the country, would you really ask this question.
The only thing that could make a US transition hard is your parents. Usually, what people do is they go first and then bring their parents/wife/etc... because nobody knows how it will turn out. I don't know if this is possible in your case, though.
Doesn’t US visa state in some way that your intended visit is only temporary? For example, if you take that visa and then decide to stay it can be used against you by immigration?
Hi, thanks for your reply, I'm with my parents (they are 70) and no wife or kids. I'm 34. I'm staying currently in a flat of my Russian acquaintance, but I'd like to move soon.
