Another thing to keep in mind is cost of living and public transportation, if you don't have a car. How much cities cost and how you can get around vary a lot depending on the city in the U.S. My husband moved to Cincinnati from Mexico. He loved it there because people are friendly, cost of living is pretty low, and there is a relatively small but growing Spanish speaking population, so you can find Spanish speakers if you need to, but you will be surrounded by English speakers. It's also 5 hours from Chicago and other cities if you would like to go there. The people there also have a neutral accent. Plus, it's my home city, so of course I have to say it's great :-)
