Once in a while, usually after you have figured out all the missing pieces yourself, you realize that there was a nice collection of information available that would have saved you countless hours. This is what happened to me with this guide-for-new-us-immigrants. This is what I would have liked to have about 11 years ago when I first came to the U.S. to study for a couple of months in Hawaii. How do I find an apartment? How do I open a bank account? What kind of documents do I need? It’s amazing, it’s all there.
Even for a lot of Americans the history part and the part about the political system and election systems would probably be a great refresher for the upcoming elections. For a foreigner who wants to live, work, or study here, this is a great starting document to learn a bit more various aspects of living in the U.S.
