Go to the USA tomorrow

Following the example of previous posts, I will briefly tell you how to get to the United States and stay for permanent residence.



Of the possible options, the best way, in my opinion, is to come to study on an F-1 student visa. Unlike the alternative J-1, which obliges you to return to your homeland, you will have the opportunity to look at the country and decide whether to stay. Regardless of the decision made, American diplomas on the market play the role of a bonus to the resume - time will not be wasted.

How to start

It is worth starting with collecting the necessary documents for 4-5 option universities, which will have to pay about $ 100 / university for filing. It is quite realistic to do it even with a full scholarship, which gives the right to study for free. If successful, you will need a notarized paper showing the availability of the necessary funds for the entire period of study (~ $ 40,000 + depending on the chosen university). I just asked a friend to sign a paper confirming willingness to sponsor. Since she does not bind with real obligations, the issue was resolved quickly. Then, with a letter from the university, go to the embassy and get a visa for 4 years. From it you can always go to the working H1B.

Job

Recently, the labor market has noticeably flooded, but there are chances to find a job in IT. In addition, most companies have experience of employment from overseas and are not afraid of paperwork or associated costs. Acclimatization is painless, the people are very friendly. The availability of cheap flights makes possible Sunday flights to Las Vegas or other places of interest. They work here a lot, but they rest without fail. Among local students it is customary to travel a lot: both in the country and abroad.

How to live

It’s customary to start living while renting an apartment with cohabitants, http://craigslist.org . The chances of "not converging characters" are minimal.

The order of food prices is close to the current Ukrainian, so it’s good to live on 2,500-3,000 per month (equivalent to 60k per year) is quite possible. The budget consists mainly of renting an apartment and entertainment. Food costs ~ $ 100 per week without refusing anything. As in many other places, selling an apartment in Moscow, you can buy a house here in the US and live for a while until the money runs out. Ignorance of the language is everywhere here, so do not hesitate to act for this reason.

Photos reader probably already saw enough, so part of the beauty and the abundance of microclimates / landscapes, we will miss.

How to figure it all out

Questions may arise at any time, you do not need to hesitate to contact Russian organizations or read manuals for immigrants. (There is also the official Russian version). If you have specific questions - you should look through http://forum.privet.com
