We're closing questions and pointing folks to the help center to see what kind of topics they can ask about, but that page is currently was profoundly unhelpful.
Here's my first stab at what should go as the middle paragraph with a bullet list, please vet this as soon as possible so that I can get it in place.
Begin Copy
If your question is about:
- Complications in every day life due to living in a foreign country as a non-citizen
- Questions about immigration, as they would apply to someone of your nationality living, or planning to move to a foreign country
- Questions about laws and governance in your country of residence, that might apply differently to non-citizens than they do to citizens
... then you are probably in the right place to ask your question! Expatriates Stack Exchange is here for questions surrounding ordinary life, just complicated by your status as an expatriate.
End Copy
What did I miss? How could I be more succinct? Does this look good to get in quickly (because we're getting all kinds of traffic at the moment). Have at it, lets try to get this done :)
Note
What I posted here slightly varies from what has been sent live to the help center (something better than what we had needed to get in there in a hurry). Edits I've made beyond the first proposed copy are subsequent to answers I've received here.
Thanks for the help, folks!
