Do you find that northern-european immigrants end up happy after immigration to the US, given the circumstances which you meet them in? The US is quite a different social environment, while still also being quite similar to northern europe in many ways.

Certainly "your field" per se, but if you follow up on clients I figured you might have a better clue than most.

Probably not something Peter can answer.. but I'm from northern europe and yes, I'm happy here and would never want to go back.

I often think about this but regardless of the country, some foreign nationals can never imagine going back to their home country and others always see their home country as their home, where they will end up. It seems more specific to the foreign national than to the home country.

Some people immigrate for purely economic reasons, others immigrate because they prefer the lifestyle and culture in the host country. The ones that always see their home country as their home, where they will end up, are in the first group. They're only immigrating for the $$$.
