Smooth immigration is either good preparation, or a lot of luck, or just a dream, writes the author of the Queen in the USA blog on Yandex Zen.
We all come and fill our bumps. It is good to sit on the couch and rant when the bumps are not only full, but have long since died. However, it is they who have now transformed into advice that, perhaps, will help others get by with a little blood.
Lack of a clear plan
You have to think about why you are moving and what you will do in your new country at home. On the spot, you will need to work here and now, providing for yourself and those who depend on you. For the move to pay off, you need to move forward, and that requires a plan. Those who come to “try their luck” at random either hang out at the level of loaders, or come back.
Leaving legal status
If your plans do not include deportation, thousands of dollars spent on a lawyer, long ordeals and despair, then in no case leave your legal status. Even a few days as an illegal alien reduce the chances of a long and happy life in America to a minimum. In this country, the law is loved and respected, and the same is expected of immigrants.
Tax evasion
In terms of the severity of the consequences, this can only be compared with the withdrawal from legal status. If you are caught hiding income, you will not see green cards as your ears. Who wants to put in several years of hard work in order to later leave the country and start somewhere all over again?

In a strange monastery with its charter
Immigrants inevitably compare the country in which they lived and America. And the latter will definitely lose on some points. Everything that can be customized for yourself needs to be adjusted, to score for other things. It is better to concentrate on the advantages of the United States, their mass.
Postponing building credit history
Most likely, a fresh immigrant will feel right from the start how hard it is for a person who does not have a credit history. Right from the moment you search for housing, this understanding will descend. It only remains to emphasize once again - the longer you live in the country, the more often and more your credit history will play into your hands or against you. So it is better to take care of her immediately upon arrival.

English will learn itself
Will not learn. Language is one of the pillars of well-being in the United States. It must be strong and reliable.
The use of English from time to time does not give an impetus to learning. Only close, daily communication can move forward without additional work. Anyone who does not have the opportunity to speak English with native speakers for several hours a day at home or at work is highly indicated by purposeful study.
Thoughtless waste of money
A separate conversation about those who arrive with a hole in their pocket. Usually, people still have enough judgment to bring with them a financial safety cushion that will support at first or at a difficult moment.
This pillow can seem plump, while the emigrant with a happy smile on his face settles in place. In fact, it scatters in a moment. Therefore, do not make any expenses that you can do without - as long as your income does not exceed your expenses. You need to buy only the very minimum. Even with this spending of funds, the money will run out earlier than we would like.
