edit Steps

1. Consider why you originally left your native land. Was it for money? A relationship? To start a new life? To flee from persecution?
2. Evaluate how your original goals worked out. Did you make enough money to satisfy yourself? Did you make even less money than you could have back home? Did the relationship fail? Or did your 'new life' not go as planned? Are you homesick? If you return, would you still be subject to persecution?
3. If you accomplished your goals, and want to stay in your adopted land, then do so, if the laws apply. If your goals did not work out, consider returning to where you were born.
4. If you choose to stay in your adopted country, then stop reading. But if you choose to return, contact the appropriate embassy and discuss the issue with the appropriate staff; figure out how to sell belongings you will not return home with; sell or rent any property (adhering to local laws) and plan for a place to live and work when you return.

edit Tips

• If undecided, then consider if your native country needs you. Remember, it is usually the 'best and brightest' who have the courage and resources to immigrate. Research to see if your native land is suffering from a "brain drain", meaning, are too many 'key' people leaving? This could leave a country with much less people who can start businesses or become involved in complicated careers.
