Original post
Bonjour,
Je souhaite partir avec mon conjoint au USA mais nous ne sommes pas marié je sais que je pourrais pas travailler la bas.
Il risque d'avoir 70000 dollars annuel de revenu, ma question est donc: est il possible de vivre à deux sur ce salaire la bas?
Merci de vos reponses
Lucie
salut sur 70000 il faut voir combien il faut payer d'impôts dessus si c'est en net ou en brut..
ensuite 70000/2 ça fait 35000USD c'est plutôt un petit salaire aux USA.
Si sur une part de 35000 il faut payer des impôts ça ne fait pas beaucoup.
Ne pas perdre de vue que le coût de la vie est relativement élevé dans les grandes métropoles, qu'il faut de préférence avoir un véhicule car les transports en commun même s'ils sont relativement développés ne couvrent pas tout le territoire d'une métropole.
Ensuite les zones urbaines sont plutôt grandes à Miami je mettais bien 45minutes de bus pour aller au lieu de travail dans le Downton.
Ensuite les loyers sont relativement élevés ; à Miami par exemple un studio en-dessous de 1000dollars mieux ne vaut pas trop y compter , New-York City et San Fransisco j'en parle même pas...

Ca me parait assez peu. C'est à peu près ce que gagne mon mari et comme j'attends ma carte verte, je n'ai pas encore le droit de travailler. Du coup, à 2 avec son seul salaire on se sert la ceinture. On a décidé de vivre en ville (Miami Beach), du coup on peut se permettre d'avoir une seule voiture. Mais on paie plus cher de loyer ($1700 pour un 2 pièces). Tout coûte cher ici, ticket de bus $2.50 (au mois $120, bien plus cher qu'à Paris pour service bien moins efficace), la nourriture n'en parlons pas, presque la double d'une ville de province française, assurance maladie très chère aussi... Et si je ne me trompe pas, la vie près de San Francisco est beaucoup plus chère qu'en Floride, du coup 70k çà me parait assez peu.
Mais si vous n'êtes pas mariés, comment comptes-tu venir?
Elle peut venir avec un visa de visiteur B2, cela inclut les conjoints non mariés qui accompagnent leur conjoint détenteur d'un visa de travail. Pour travailler, elle devra soit trouver son propre visa (H1B, etc.) soit travailler à son compte sur le web.

Mais c'est que pour 6 mois ou un an non? ça fait juste pour s'installer aux usa

Le visa est renouvelable un autre 6 mois par la suite. Un an cela lui permettra de trouver une autre solution si son conjoint reste plus longtemps là-bas.

On partirait minimum un an la bas! On a envisagé de se marier la bas mais pas de suite. Après la carte verte je l'aurais facilement? Merci pour toutes vos reponses

La carte verte ?
Le green card n'est pas un visa et à ce que je comprends votre mari est sous un visa.
Si vous vous mariez aux USA, vous devrez rentrer en France pour faire votre pour demande de visa correspondant à la version épouse/époux/dépendant de celui de votre mari.
Dans le cas ou j'ai mal compris et votre mari est citizen, pareil vous allez devoir rentrer en France. La green card s'obtient dans des délais qui vont de 5 mois jusqu'au 18 mois (more likely 12)

La green card s'obtient dans des délais qui vont de 5 mois jusqu'au 18 mois (more likely 12)
attention cela depend du 'type' de green card demande; si la demande est faite sous Eb3, l'attente de la GC peut prendre plusieures annees (entre 4 et 8 ans).
5 mois c'est pour les Eb1, 18 mois pour les Eb2...si tout va bien! Je parle des GC apres un visa de travail la, pas des GC apres un mariage avec un US citizen.
Lucy34: tu n'auras la GC que si tu es sponsorise par quelqu'un: un employeur (le tien ou celui de ton mari), un mari americain. ou la gagner a la loterie annuelle organisee par le gouvernement US.

il faudra tout de meme qu'elle montre qu'elle a des $$ pour vivre aux US, et qu'elle ne sera ainsi pas une charge pour les US.
c'est l'officier consulaire qui decide du visa, et il faut etre bien prepare.
et pareil pour le renouvellement pour encore 6 mois, c'est rarement accorde (moins de 40% des demandes).

quel metier va t-il excercer?
verifier les tranches de salaire pour son metier (voir s'il n'est pas sous paye pour sa branche).
quel sera son visa?
Pour l'instant le visa on sait pas, mais il va etre en post doc et on lui propose 70000dollars annuel . C'est suffisant pour nous deux si je peux pas travailler? On prendra qu'un studio.

ok en postdoc, c'est le visa J1.
si vous etiez maries, tu serais en J2 et tu pourrais travailler en toute legalite (et rester avec lui).
$70000 a 2 c'est juste a SF. et si vous vous eloignez, il vous faudra 2 voitures (a moins que tu restes dans le studio sans faire grand chose).

Qu'est ce que je pourrai faire alors pour pouvoir travailler? J'ai le BAFA, je peuX m'en servir?

le BaFa est un 'diplome' francais, pas sur que tu puisses vraiment t'en servir.
si tu n'as que ca comme diplome, tu ne trouveras jamais un employeur qui te sponserisera pour un visa de travail!
si vous vous mariez, tu as un j2, et tu demandes une fois aux US une autorisation de travail=EAD
et apres tu peux trouver des 'petits' jobs (ou pas) et mettre du beurre dans les epinards.

A la base je suis aide soignante mais je ne peux plus exercer car j'ai des soucis de dos. J'ai droit de faire des petits jobs? Style garde d'enfant, cours de français?
On pensées se mariez au état unis sa changerais quelque chose si on se mari dans les mois qui viendront après notre arrive, je pourrais avoir un j2? Ça fait dix ans que l'on est ensemble.

oui tu peux faire des petits jobs comme tu le dis, mais tu dois etre mariee et avoir une EAD.
vous pouvez vous mariez en France et partir ensemble avec les visas sous le bras (et tu fais la demande de EAD en arrivant aux US: cela peut prendre entre un et 3 mois pour l'obtenir) vous pouvez vous mariez aux US, et faire une demande de changement de statut si tu es sous le visa B2 (si tu es sous ESTA: il te faut rentrer en France pour faire le visa j2).
bref, entre les frais et les attentes des visas, je vous conseillerais de vous mariez en France.

Si tu viens avec un B2, tu n'auras pas le droit de travailler. Le bafa ne te servira à rien. Ça dépend des états mais où je vis (Floride), si tu veux bosser avec des enfants, il faut faire une "formation" obligatoire de 40h. Il faudra aussi que les employeurs fassent un background Check (vérifier ton casier judiciaire etc) mais si tu viens d'arriver je ne sais pas si ils peuvent le faire. Sans être mariés c'est vraiment galère ici.
Quelqu'un sait pourquoi un J2 à le droit de travailler mais pas un J1 au pair ou F1 étudiant? Je trouve ça un peu injuste
Quelqu'un sait pourquoi un J2 à le droit de travailler mais pas un J1 au pair ou F1 étudiant? Je trouve ça un peu injuste
ce sont les lois d'immigration decidees par le gouvernement US. un J1AuPair travaille deja (et etudie) un visa F1: c'est un visa pour etudier, point (et certains chanceux peuvent travailler sur le campus: ca s'est autorise, mais peu de places) apres pour certaines ecoles/etudes, tu peux obtenir un OPT: stage paye a faire dans ton domaine pour lequel tu etudies). bref, je ne vois pas trop l'injustice la-dedans...heureusement qu'il y a des regles.

Bonjour,
Pour vous donner une idee:
Si vous cherchez un appartment, livingroom et bed-room dans un quartier pas trop mal vous aurez du mal a trouver quelque chose a moins de $1.800.00 par mois et cela sans place de garage.
Pour un appartment similaire dans un bon quartier comptez environ $2.500.00 par mois.
Si vous cherchez quelque chose dans les $1.200.00 il faudra aller assez loin et commuter.
Cordialement
Alex

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
