i immigrated from my country and i miss it so much. Do all immigrants feel this way? Do you prefer your country over the one you immigrated to? Or did you adapt really well to the country you immigrated to and don't feel like you want to go back home?

You will always have a soft spot for your home. You will never forget where you came from and the values you learned there even if it was for a short time. It is normal to miss home. My new country is here in the U.S.. It is home now. I love this country more than a lot of Americans do. It is sad but true. One could not ask for a better country to live. No question, I love this country more than where I was born. That does not mean I have forgotten my roots.

I've immigrated from the States to Canada and I do miss the States and I do think we all feel this way. I've adapted very well with being in Canada and I really don't want to go back to live in the states. I would visit but my home is now North Bay Ontario Canada. Culture Shock is normal but it will take you some time to adjust.

You can like the country you live in now and you can miss your native country at the same time. It's a different feeling. In my case I probably miss the country that does not even exist any more.

I am, and I had the same feelings before. But after few years you'll feel better because you will have friends around you, then you will have enough roots here to love to stay. Is ok to love your country but if you learn how to love this country as yours, you'll be a lot better very soon.
Good luck!

I was very young when we came here so I don't miss it like my mother and older sisters and brothers do. They miss a lot of the customs and the culture. My cousin has been here 15 years and she still has thoughts about going "home" (she's married with three kids - all born here.)
I think missing where you grew up is normal.

My wife is from another country and she talks about it all the time. So much so, I tell her she ought to return... without me. I love this Country called the United States of America.

There's a website with tips for adjusting to America.

I know when I lived in Australia, that even though I liked it there, I still got homesick for the U.S. After several years, it didn't bother me much.

You're going through CULTURE SHOCK - absolutely normal.
