  • Green Card Lottery
    Oct 10 2024

    As an international student, I was struck by the high cost of living in America. Determined to find affordable solutions, I stumbled upon the Diversity Visa Lottery (DV Lottery). This life-changing opportunity offers eligible individuals a chance to obtain a US permanent resident visa. I encourage fellow international students and immigrants to explore this option. Research eligibility requirements, application deadlines, and rules to increase your chances. The DV Lottery can be a game-changer; take advantage of it to secure a brighter future in the United States.

  • Intro: Americanah
    Oct 7 2024

    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.
