Hello, Patelh, and I am sorry you are struggling with all that is going on. I am sorry you lost your job and your child has been ill. Many people are struggling with this pandemic stuff, well probably almost everyone. You write about a husband and a mother in law who say mean things to you, put you down, belittle you. This is a very hard situation to bear. The problem with going to the USA, is that your life will not automatically be better. Everything will be different. I am in the USA, and immigrants struggle for a while usually. This will be an entirely different culture with different religions. You will not know anyone here and you and husband may not be able to work for a while. Or there may not be social or economic supports for you two here. What if you have to live with your sister in law who resents you and is mean also? I don’t know what kind of work you and your husband do but even doctors have to get board certified to work in the states as doctors. I am just saying this is not going to be easy or perfect life over here. It might be better than where you life now, there is more freedom, but there is less family cohesion and you won’t know anyone to help you. There is prejudice unfortunately. Most people are nice and kind and will welcome you but everything will be new and possibly scary for you. If your daughter has medical issues, it gets tricky here as one needs health insurance from one’s job or maybe you pay for it yourself or if very poor, sometimes get government health insurance which is not that great. If your marriage is rocky NOW, the stress of immigrating can make things more stressful. Imagine COVID-19 stress without the illness and without either or you having a job or your own home to live in (for a while). Wages are higher here but so are rents, housing, food costs, taxes, everything is expensive here compared to many other countries. The USA has COVID-19 pretty badly here, we rank #1 in the world, so my guess is any immigrating will not take place quickly. Your Sister in law has to hire an attorney, which costs money and financially sponsor you, which puts you in obligation to her. So let’s say you and husband carefully discuss this and want to immigrate, how will you two work together as a team in the time you wait for permission to immigrate (assuming you are granted permission).  I’d encourage you to start a conversation with your husband about what is going on in the marriage. Talk about his stress, your stress, his goals, your goals. Tell him how you feel without blame, let him know his criticism hurts you a lot. Say it like “I feel hurt when you say I am not helping financially.” At least try to talk to him, don’t make him defend himself, just listen, and ask him to just listen to you. Both of you need to be on the same page or find this out now. A bad marriage with a lot of stress will not get better in the USA, rather the stress of immigrating may crack the marriage wide open. I wish you the best and I sure hope this pandemic ends soon.
