Moving to the US

Question

I am in my final year of my Bachelor's in Computer Science in Pakistan. I am thinking about moving to the US after my graduation, doing my master's there, and maybe staying there permanently. What things should I look into before choosing a university and like the state I go to?

I'd recommend joining relevant Facebook groups for this purpose and asking people who have done this from Pakistan themselves.

IMO going to the us with f1 and staying there is the easiest one to start and the hardest one to finish. During you stay, you need to change your immigration status a couple of times and you have almost no control over the outcome ( h1b lottery, GC process, etc.) I would recommend to move to Canada first and then move to the us with Canadian passport. I’d definitely do the same if I go back. Anyway, fluency in English as the second language is the best think I can recommend. Then, I would recommend to find a good adviser or a good lab to work in, rather than a famous or high ranked university. High ranked universities will give to the boost to find your first job, but a good adviser who coaches you will give you the capability and knowledge of being the best at any job you get.
