Was in a similar situation (pre covid), L1 visa. Once you accept the offer, you get put in touch with the immigration team. Takes about 2-3 weeks to get everything sorted, then you get the instructions to book your appointment at the embassy. You will get a pack by mail you need to carry with you at the embassy. You get your visa on the passport in under 5 days. Then you are free to move to US.

Oh sorry I misunderstood the question, OP. My experience was UK to US.

For anyone that moved to the US a bit later in life (early 30s), do you feel like you are financially behind retirement now by United States standards?

My home country offers free health care, education, affordable living etc and now i’m in the US the only way I think I’ll ever catch up for retirement is by making Partner salary one day but still living like I’m on a Manager salary to save.

Plus on a visa we cannot have other income. This is going to be a long game of catch up.
