SCS giving direction for emigration

"So much in just 45 minutes: wisdom you won't find anywhere else; the importance of conscientiousness; and plenty of joy and laughter!"

- Verified Video Guide customer, Chris Musei-Sequeira

From deciding where to move and how much money to save, to figuring out what tasks should be prioritized and creating a plan, international relocation is a lot of work.

Many people who dream about moving out of the US stop before they even get started.

The tasks feel overwhelming.

The decisions feel too hard.

Inertia takes over.

The dream evaporates into a memory.

And it just never happens.

That doesn’t have to be your story.

Conscientious Emigration Consulting

  • Conscientious emigration is emigrating with an intentional decision to consider and minimize impacts on our new homes abroad and to develop and practice cultural awareness and humility.

  • Generally speaking, people from the US have earned a poor reputation for our interactions and impacts abroad. Emigrating conscientiously is consistent with SCS’s values, and we aim to assist future emigrants who are committed to showing up in the world with respect, consideration, a sense of social responsibility, and an ethic of integrity.

  • SCS will work with any paying client who is committed to emigrating with their behavioral, economic, environmental, and cultural impacts on their new home in mind. We do not discriminate based on race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, or other markers of identity, but may give preference to those who feel unsafe in the US due identity-based discrimination. At this time, we are only accepting applications from those living in the US.

  • Legal advice: we are not and are not holding ourselves out to be immigration lawyers. Any advice provided should not be construed as legal advice.

  • There are numerous companies, networks, and services aimed at educating and assisting people seeking to emigrate. Why choose us?

    1. Inclusivity: We do not exclude potential clients according to identity, but according to ethic. We will work with anyone who aims to emigrate conscientiously.

      We are particularly interested in serving aspiring emigrants who find themselves falling outside the bounds of other targeted emigration services; for example, interracial families, queer families or individuals, religious minorities, or other often-overlooked folks who want to leave the US and find that existing services exclude them.

    2. Success in lived experience. SCS’s CEO, Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, emigrated to Mexico with her husband and two dogs in 2022. They moved from idea to execution in only seven weeks, including securing legal temporary residency, housing, required import processes, and more. They hired no professional expertise and are now in their second year of legal temporary residency. Learn more at https://www.patreon.com/wavesandwifi

      Elizabeth also has lived experience navigating the US immigration system on behalf of family members.

    3. Professional experience. The SCS team has deep experience managing complex projects, navigating bureaucracies, analyzing policies, and turning vision into reality. Although SCS does not provide legal services, Elizabeth is a licensed attorney; this expertise helps her to think strategically, troubleshoot future issues, and plan holistically around priorities and processes for the smoothest emigration journey.

    4. Personalized attention. We will be providing one-on-one support to walk clients through the decision-making processes and action items necessary to make your emigration dream a reality. We are not here to simply inspire; we are here to help you plan, act, and achieve.

Emigration Client Testimonials

  • For eight years I have been in a state of working preliminarily toward leaving the US. But something was stopping me. Some of it (at the time) was marriage difficulties, but after I became a single mom, it became clear that wasn't the only issue. Sometimes it was the sheer number of things for me to do as a single parent, sometimes it was just crushing fear for myself and my trans teens, sometimes it was my ADHD and depression, and sometimes it was that things get really confusing sometimes, dealing in systems I don't understand. Another layer to this was always that seeking help with these things brought the kind of help that felt like they didn't understand me or why I was trying to do what I was doing. These things all together amounted to a sense that I was alone in all of this. Once I found the Conscientious Emigration blog, I had the highest of hopes that Elizabeth was the right partner in my emigration. Her knowledge and wisdom around *why* we are doing what we are doing was so helpful. A lot of emigrating from the US is "feeling crazy" but Elizabeth truly understands the difference between "looking for a place to retire" and "fleeing my country because one or more of us are in categories that put us in danger of harm." It's an important difference. I never had to obscure my reasonings for some of the decisions I made because she already knows these things. We do not want to colonize. We do not hold ourselves above others. We want to move somewhere to be part of a community, not to sit on top of the economic food chain somewhere or displace people. On top of all of this, I found Elizabeth to be professional and relatable, honest and diligent. She genuinely cares about my kids and spoke to us as a family when schedules and kids' moods worked out. She helped distribute the workload, keep track of what the high priority items were, and when I needed to be doing what. If I ever have a question, she gets back to me as soon as she is able. Before I was out of the US, I would sometimes start to spiral from the news and she helped me through this mostly by supplying me with (or reminding me of) true factual information about laws, policies, and current practices. She even served some of my spiraling logic back to me for some rethinking in a kind and straightforward way which truly got me through at least one particularly hard week before we left. I also started to lean on her weekly emails and/or real-time heads-up emails about things in the news that would affect my family instead of constantly scanning all the terrible news coming out of this administration myself. I could trust that if there was something she was concerned about for my emigration, that she would tell me. Having Elizabeth's support and guidance was exactly what I needed to get my family to safety. My kids even give her props, unprompted, whenever our journey to here comes up. They really recognize how important she was and is to our emigration. Anyway if you are trying to leave the US for similar reasons to the above and you are finding that you need someone to help keep you on track, help you make tough decisions, and keep your energy directed at a solution, I highly recommend Elizabeth at Conscientious Emigration!

  • "Elizabeth helped me take the first steps toward emigration when I was uncertain and afraid. Now I have my feet under me and can see the next steps laid out before me. I happily recommend her kind and thorough service."

    Heidi S., Exploratory Consult + Preliminary Research Client

  • "Sickened and overwhelmed by the results of the 2024 US elections, I searched online for emigration consultants and found Elizabeth. She responded quickly with guidance and support—and, most importantly, she assured me that I COULD DO THIS. It wasn't some fantasy; it was something a real person could do and be glad they did. I'm still in the early stages of my move, and there's no denying that the emigration process is complicated. But a single consultation with Elizabeth got me moving forward. I would recommend her to anyone in a similar situation to mine."
