Also, a substantial number of Bangladesh immigrants do plan to return but they always mention "after a few years".
After seeing a number of people with children return, it seemed that it was twice as difficult to have a 12 year old adjust than a 6 year old. And thats precisely why the "few years" turns out to be 20+ for so many expats !
Sorry if I got too personal, but the whole issue is something I feel deeply about, having had to make decisions in the past 5 years, and also being sure of having to take similar decisions in the next 10 years...

u r absolutely right. and thats what i am trying to figure out. my daughter is 3. but we where also in vacation when we went to la and Disney but like I said the love she got from her cousin and fupus/khala she never gets it from anyone (including us) over here. So why are we depriving her from that... And few years that i am talking about is to figure out whether it was the vacation effect or not.Planning to visit home look for jobs etc in the mean time.
Also I am close to getting the PP. So i figured at least I should have that before i leave so that i have a backup!!! but again u r right. I am always saying i am going to go back but got used to usa for last 7 years but all emotions came back after my last/1st visit.
On the other hand my parents r very sick and old so that is going to be a deciding factor too. but saying something is easier than actually doing it specially when u have family...
