Thank you for the assistance! From my earlier research I do hold a qualifying engineering degree. I’m also interested in studying for a Masters or potentially PhD at Göthenburg, but frankly will accept any path to legally move and work somewhere that isn’t the US. The EU in general and Sweden or Germany in particular have been my focus thus far and I sincerely appreciate a new route to investigate.
After some really quick checking i would say fastest safest way (to get permanent recedency) is probably study permit, look for work during studying with an employer open to up your hours once your studies are over. So you can get a work permit. And before you known it 4 years have passed you can apply for permanent residence. One more year then apply for citizenship.
Edit: since you said you were open to studying
Edit 2: you probably already knew all this. If so read this as someone trying support your decision rather than some rando on the interwebs over splaining.
I found the individual pieces through my research earlier this year. Laying it out for me plainly really helps and has me revisiting the idea. I think I stumbled after learning about the need for enough funding to self-support? I’ll look into it more.
Thank you, I really appreciate your help and encouragement.
