Difficulties that may be encountered when you are moving to the U.S.

Each person reacts differently to the process of emigration. Some find themselves in a state of euphoria, while others become depressed. Sometimes people encounter difficulties when they are moving to another country; these are caused by a number of factors.

In this blog we have prepared several important points that will simplify your move considerably.

Language and social skills

You can't move to the U.S. without an excellent knowledge of the English language! At home, you could instantly contact people who could share your thoughts, come up with a joke to cheer your friends, read any text or news item. However, when you are immersed a foreign language, you will not be able to fully and clearly explain your thoughts and as a result many people start feel  a little inferior.

Moreover, without an excellent knowledge of English, it will be problematic to work in a high position, for example, as a director of a large company or a doctor, because the texts and documents will not only be in complicated English, but also with a large number of professional terminologies. To avoid such difficulties, learn the language.

Immigrant complex

This is a feeling of inferiority in society, together with the comparison of oneself with others. People begin to find comparisons between themselves and the locals - they speak fluent English, but I don’t.

They have citizenship, but I don't - so they will get the good job instead of me. Sometimes, this can lead to poor health and even develop into depression. Before moving to another country you must be confident in your abilities.

Documents

Moving to the U.S. is considered to be one of the most difficult and time-consuming procedures, regardless of the reason you are moving. In any case, you will need to amass a case of documents: copies of passports, bank statements, marriage certificates, birth certificates (for children), diplomas, certificates, medical cards and x-rays, payslips, and even recommendation letters from work.

All these documents must be translated into English and notarized. Unfortunately, even with a "clean business" and a case of documents the process of legalization can take years.

Money and taxes

Many believe that the U.S. has the highest taxes, but this is not true. Every U.S. citizen must pay income tax - this is a tax that is paid from any income, whether it is a salary or earnings from freelancing. The amount of this tax comprises the sum of two taxes - Federal and State tax. In the U.S., the Federal is a mandatory tax; it means everyone has to pay it. There is also a State tax, but this can vary depending on the laws of the State and on the average annual return of a person.

There are 7 States that do not have this tax and Florida is among them. As already mentioned, the amount of tax depends on the income of a person. If a person is married, has children and obligations (mortgage payment, education payment, house tax, loans, etc.), then the tax amount will be significantly less compared to a single person without obligations, but with the same annual salary. Any person can calculate and pay their own taxes. For more information visit this website .

Transport 

In many States having a car is obligatory due to the limited availability of public transport. In places such as Los Angeles and Miami walking can be a problem, especially with children, because of a lack of pavements and pedestrian crossings

Therefore, when moving to the USA you should be prepared to buy a car, so that you can move comfortably around the city.Of course, this list of difficulties is not exhaustive, but it does cover the most important points.
