How long is too long gap in the resume? I’m unemployed for 6 months now, quit at my will to move to US and likely can’t work for another 8 months as I’m waiting for my US work visa.

I am still actively interviewing but I wonder at what point do I start having stale experience/ skills

I think as a woman you’d have an advantage. You don’t have to explain it, and most folks will assume it’s because you had a child.

But even if they did ask, you can say you needed to take time off to move, or care for a sick family member.
