Could someone please help me understand the prepositions used after emigrate and immigrate?

I know generally it is emigrate from and immigrate to.

In one of the OG questions, I saw emigrate to. Is this usage correct?

Regards.

Emigrate (verb) is always used with the preposition "From". Easy reminder, "F" follows "E".
Immigrate (verb) is always used with the preposition "To"...

Can some expert also respond to this?

I remember having seen a question in OG or GMATPrep, where they used emigrate to.

Request your services.

Regards.

1. both "emigrate to X" and "emigrate from X to Y" are correct
2. both "immigrate to X" and " immigrate from X to Y" are correct

Since there is no consensus, request some expert to please respond.
