Home State?
Pretty simple. Are you currently living in the state in which you were born?

For at least a little while longer, yeah.
edit to add: Not real happy about that fact at this point, truly familiarity has bred considerable contempt.

Yes. I was born in Indiana and currently live in Indiana. I did live in Louisville, Kentucky for about seven years as an adult. I may move to another state at some point in the future. We will see.

My mom moved to Oregon when I was 4, so like all my waking memories are here, but still not native technically.

Lived in hometown for five years before parents moved, so consider my hometown to be where I grew up.
However, not lived there either for 20 years, so whichever way you shape it, I’d be a no, if I was American!

Born on an air force base, and moved back to the state my parents grew up in when I was 4 months old. But I don't live in that state anymore either.

Nope.
WI -> MN -> WI -> WY -> WI -> AR -> NV -> WI -> NV Don't see myself ever going back to Wisconsin despite it continuously pulling me back (didn't realize how many times until I typed this out). I also can't guarantee I'll stay in Nevada. My wanderlust is strong. But for now, I'm so sick of moving (still not done unpacking by a long shot) that I don't see myself leaving for at least another couple years.

I didn't include a year of college in SC because I don't think that counts.

I just wish I could get my wife on a plane. We rarely have more than 4 days for any kind of trips, and I really don't want to spend two of those days driving. I would love to take quick flights somewhere to give us more options. She just absolutely refuses to consider it.

Also basically 0% chance of leaving california before retirement. We like it here and all of our credentials are in california (though likely wouldn't be too much trouble to tranfer to other states) and both our pensions are good here (me anywhere in california( hers at her specific hospital)

And this looks like the end of the line for me. I doubt we move anymore, but who knows.

Expect to stay here, but if one of our kids settles in an awesome place, we might pick up to join them and do the grandparent thing. But, honestly, where we already live (Raleigh) is on every list of best places to retire to. So there's a bit of let's not overthink this. Last edited by albionmoonlight : 07-29-2024 at 08:12 AM. |

My year in "Virginia" was in Arlington 2 Metro stops outside of DC. It feels weird to say I lived in Virginia, even though it was technically true. |

For the Portuguese visa, you need a letter showing a contract of at least a year or something from your employer showing remote work.
