Abstract
Immigrants hope their pre-immigration expectations for a new life will be 'realized' post-immigration. Findings show that for adult immigrants (n=377), work-retirement status (working in the same occupation, working in a different occupation or being retired) has an interactive effect with 'realized' expectations on health status.
