Is it possible to be a Diocesan priest in an Archdiocese, different from the one you’re from?

I’m currently living in the US. I’ve been called to the vocation of priesthood, but I don’t know if I like the idea of living in where I reside. Not for spiritual reasons. More so just for general quality of life reasons. Is it possible to apply to an Archdiocese in a different state? If so, how does that change my application process?
