Hi everyone. My name is Mae from Philippines but now living in England for 15 years. I had a brief stint working in US for 3 years then back to England before my working visa expired. Now, I got good job offer in Houston in coronary care. I'm just waiting for my immigrant visa interview this end of May so fingers crossed everything will be fine.

Hello everyone!

I'm originally from Los Angeles, California, having lived there until the age of 13; I then moved to Cap d'Ail, France which is situated at the border with Monaco.

I spent 7 years in France playing football for academies and clubs such as AC Boulogne-Billancourt in Paris and AS Monaco FC. During this time I became fluent in French and received my Baccalauréat in Economics & Social Studies to complete lycée.

I then moved back to the U.S. and studied International Business at Lynn University where I graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors in an enhanced program in simply 5 semesters, or 2.5 years. Directly after my university studies I passed my real estate & mortgage loan originator licenses and moved to Miami Beach.

I currently reside and work in Miami Beach as an executive loan originator specializing in Foreign National Loans, difficult-to-finance buyers, and of course, U.S. Residents! The relationships my company Financial Triangle has with many wholesale banks is unprecedented in this area.

Hi Justino!

Well if you want to use credit or banking to purchase you will need to have and to continue your activities and occupation in South Africa before and until the closing happens.

For you to be financeable you will need to gather the 3 last months of your business or personal bank account statements and a down payment of 30% & proof of the employment or self employment (like a web site or CPA letter) before placing any offer on a property.
Once the house is closed then and only then will the move will be easy. Otherwise the other option is renting for the time until the home has closed.
After the housing part is completed, then everything is possible; your new home can even become your office in the beginning.

Welcome, for better luck at connecting with people living in Utrecht, you should post an introduction or look on the topics in the Netherlands -> Utrecht forum.

Good luck

i'm Amira from alexandria, egypt .. i have a great interest in america, i really hope to be able to immigrate soon, i'm a decent pharmacist with high proficiency in English and hard worker .. but it seems like getting jobs in USA is getting really hard, so i thought talking to native americans would help clarifying the real market situation in america.

Hello, I'm Cynara from Brazil. I've lived in USA for 15 years and moved back to Brazil to finish my studies in Business Administration. My plans for the near future is to move back to USA where I've always enjoyed it and I plan to live in US for good. Even though I have a Business Administration degree, finding a job in Brazil nowadays is very hard to get once we're in recession so I've decided to teach English to Brazilians who want to learn English as a second language. I also give private classes online via Skype to foreigners who wants to learn Portuguese. Hopefully I can fulfill my dreams in moving back to USA soon!!!!

Thank you Julien and hello everybody, my name is Nga. I am a 'new comer' to the US. It is almost two and a half months since the date I arrived. I spent a day in Washington DC (the centre- visiting places only), about three weeks in Alexandria city and the rest of the period I am around Brambleton, Virginia where I am living for now. I would love to explore this state and certainly, get acquainted with new friends in this lovely country. I am here for living, both learning and working. Cheers and regards. Nga.
