My American journey was complicated by visa restrictions I didn't anticipate. Don't underestimate the impact of visa limitations – do your research before relocating to the US.
Prepare for cultural exchange: Research America and your home country to challenge misconceptions and foster understanding.
Upon arrival in the US, prioritize the following essential tasks. First, ensure you have necessary documents (passport, visa, I-20/DS-2019) & I-94 and make digital copies. Next, secure a phone plan and purchase a SIM card or phone for communication. Open a US bank account to manage finances and receive payments. Apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) if eligible. Update your address with the US Postal Service, your home country's embassy, and your university (if applicable). Familiarize yourself with local laws, healthcare options, and emergency services. Finally, connect with your university's international student office or local community groups for support and networking opportunities.
