Hey everybody, thanks for your replies. i dont know how to quote in this forum :(. Anyways, if everything goes well, i will have a GC. So i will be able to work legally i think. Im done with my studies but i dont expect to find a very decent job as soon as i get there so i will almost do anything to keep a roof over my head. and i have done some really shitty jobs in europe but i dont think any job is too small. :). And like i said, i dont have anybody really close to me in USA. I have some distant relatives but i havent talked to them in years so i will be on my own. i have few savings with me to start my new life there and would like to re-state my rent situation. how do i find a place to stay? texas sounds great but i really want to first live in NY. Thanks :)
