How to deal with stress when moving to the USA

I migrated to USA sometime back in 2004 based on family based visa. I had my parents living in US back then, and now I am US citizen, so in that sense I am no longer the expat in USA.

Nevertheless, the issues one face remains the same. Migration is like a new birth with same family and friends! I left my secured director level job in India, sold my all assets including home, car etc and moved to USA with family. That was the biggest risk anybody could ever take after a professional career of 25 years. I moved to US without job. Fortunately, I got similar job with non-profit organization within 3 months. This is a miracle, as it happens rarely!

The one of the major challenges are American english! As I am from India, my pronunciations were quite different. One of the broad members of the non-profit organization told me once that "He could not understand me at all at the time of interview and still he understands me only 50% even after interacting with me for a few years". The organization realized this and provided me a personalized couching on American pronunciations by a english professor. This helped a lot, but as mature professional I had lot of challenges to change my pronunciations.

Other than that, I think my move with family was smooth. I got tremendous support from the non-profit organization both professionally and personally.
