A lot of people on here don't realise what it takes to move to the otherside of the world with nothing in your pockets to start a new life with not knowing the language. Lucky most counties are welcoming and helpful. Came to NZ as a 5 year old from Iraq after the gulf war myself man. Parents are strong people for moving. Also, the salvos are the best, giving free furniture to put in a empty house.

OP,

I am a US Customs officer. I don't know how it was when you emigrated here, but now new immigrants come to the border with a big packet of papers that says "do not open, only to be opened at the port of entry by US Customs" or similar. Opening and processing those packets is one of the best parts of my job!

I love seeing the smile on people's faces when I finish processing everything and reach my hand out and say "Welcome to the United States, your new home."
