More than 98,000 Australians call the US home. SBS News spoke to four about what drew them there and how they are feeling about the upcoming election.
Each year, thousands of people from around the world pack their bags and head to the US to experience life in the self-proclaimed "land of the free". Sydney-born Madeleine Miller is one of them. "I landed in Philadelphia not knowing a soul," she says. Miller moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in November 2023 with her former partner.
Over the past year, Cammisa Markel has seen an uptick in applications for US citizenship, including from her Australian clients. "They want to be able to vote and … it gives them a sense of security in the US." She's also seen an increase in the speed at which citizenship applications are processed. While an application would typically take 12-14 months from start to finish, she says some are taking as little as two months.
