Life is not easy everywhere.
To relocate to USA and find a good job is not easy for a man who has that age, but if he has confidence to lower down his profile, he has chance to suceed but he has to face challenges which may come from lovely wife, class environment, and everything here. Life is short and hard for everybody, be sure to have a good family to live with.
Do what he wants to do. He is a man. Give him time to think about his future and make decision. Don't try to force him to make any change he likes, but you can help him to be a good decision-maker.
Good luck!
