Why would you get an attorney? Why?
And why would they want to trigger a shitmagnet?
It just sounds like 2 bad advices to me. As others said: find a country that fits your views and hunt for a job. A good employer will even help you move, you have to be lucky with the opportunity though.
Why would you want to get an attorney? Have you ever tried to migrate from one country into another? It’s not a fun process there’s a butt load of paperwork, attorneys know who to talk to where to go what paperwork to get. If for any reason there’s a legal issue, the attorney is going to see it from a mile off, long before you ever realize there’s even a problem and be able to fix it.
They are also going to be able to give you legal advice about that new country such as common misconceptions about that country, legal system or issues that people who immigrate from the US into that country don’t realize.
The attorney is going to have a wealth of knowledge for you to make your transition to that new country easier. Even if the Attorney may not know it off the top of their head as to how to solve it. They will know where to go to get the information.
Why would you want to trigger a , in your words, shit magnet, Sometimes shit magnets are willing to hand you cash to get rid of you. Not often , but even if all you get out of it is a $10, it’s $10 you didn’t have before.Take the money where you can and run like hell.
I think you overestimate attorneys. I don't think an attorney will be worth the money and I don't think they will know any better than you if you do your basic research and yeah I have moved twice myself.
Moving abroad should not trigger anything illegal such that you need to cover yourself beforehand with an attorney.
If something goes wrong you get your right to move denied. If it goes right, the local authorities can support you, I would not put my money on an americam attorney. And yeah, no, let's agree to disagree on your second advice, I would not risk online harassment for 10 bucks lol.
But this is just my opinion, happy to be proven wrong, an example would suffice.
