This tweet is for those arriving the United States for studies soon.
Congratulations on your visa approval.πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
Now that you’re set for the US, here are important information to help you settle in very quickly.
Please read line by line!
A thread.
2. Google maps works perfectly well here. Don’t let yourself get lost. Always use your google maps to find your way. Install Uber app to help you book rides to short distances. Ex: from airport to bus stations.
3. You need a US phone number & a compatible phone for everything you’re doing. The cheapest mobile network that I know in the US is Mint mobile. You pay $15 per month with unlimited data. You can purchase both sim cards & phones from their website mint-mobile.58dp.net
4. It’s really difficult to get life started here because of all the travel expenses but one way around is to get a credit card. You can get any credit card of your choice but I use DISCOVER CARD. This card gives you $2,000 and you can repay as low as $30 monthly.
If you apply for a Discover credit card using my referral link, you’ll get an extra $100 credit. Wawu. Apply here:
refer.discover.com
Try not to default on your monthly repayment irrespective of any credit card you choose in order not to mess up your credit score.
5. Immediately you arrive, head to a bank that doesn’t require social security number & create a bank account. Ex of such banks are Bank of America & Truist Bank. By doing this, you can quickly process your inclusion in the payroll.
6. Apply for your SSN as quickly as possible!
