I'm a couple months away from moving to Sweden for school and hopefully work after that. I'm fortunate enough to have survived the tech mass firings and built myself a good savings. I don't have to apply for asylum currently but after school if I can't find a job quickly I'll be down to the wire on finances. If for that reason or any other they try and send me back to the US I'll be one of the trans people testing asylum as well. The US wants us dead, even in Seattle it's getting worse, I can't come back here
Stay on the school-to-work permit route for Sweden, they've changed things regarding asylum seekers just this year. I was considering Sweden but asylum seems very easy to retroactively revoke now. It shook my faith because I would have sought asylum and I don't want to risk even a small chance of returning to the U.S. I don't have a school or work connection but you do!! c: Best of luck on your travels and school. https://www.migrationsverket.se/nyheter/news-archive/2025-04-01-from-1-april-the-possibility-of-changing-tracks-will-end.html
Also worth looking into marriage immigration laws in case you happen to meet someone (either romantically or just trust them enough to join a marriage of convenience)
That's definitely in the back of my mind. Knowing myself, I'd have a better chance with school/work route than the marriage one. I'm out of the scope of being a common romance partner so it would take luck and considerable effort xD It's easier to work and study. Thank you for your comment!
