thanks TLK bhai. how do you figure out its gonna be 3000 per month? is this based on 33,000 annual salary or 44,000? Also how do you calculate the salary after the Chicago taxes and all - the net pay (considering Chicago has many taxes as compared to other cites. I am very motivate to move so surely it is worth the pain for us. I believe once we get there then things will slowly fall into place. I hope this holds true for all the ppl who go there to make ends meet or for a better future.

3000 per month is a rough after tax estimate based on 44000 gross pay if you are going to live in illinois. I used this tool.

Based on my 25 years in USA, i concluded that no matter under what circumstances you come to USA (student, work visa, spouse visa, green card lottery …), your first 2/2.5 years are tough. You would need some adjustment time, whether its financial adjustment, social, relationships or something else. You will be going through that too, but if you are determined and a tough person, USA has this uniqueness to provide a person with unlimited opportunities to grow. This is the only country in the world, in my opinion, where you can enter as an illegal alien with $50.00 in your pocket, and can become a legal millionaire in 5 years. So I say, go for it. Your present will give you challenges, but your’s and your family’s future is better in USA than Dubai.
