My Story
Hello Amigos,
I welcome you all to join me on this amazing journey of a US Immigrant, which I have taken up to share my experiences as a US Immigrant, document them, and simplify the struggling inroads for most of the new US immigrants like me!
But before taking you up with all my insightful experience, let me run you through a profile with whom you will march on this beautiful journey & who started this blog – theusimmigrant.com !!
I am Rahul. To start with, academically, I hold an MBA and a Master’s degree in IT Business Management from a well-known University. They call it the ‘Oxford of the East’, but I know it as ‘Symbiosis International University‘, India.
Professionally, I have tried my luck for the past 15 years in Technology Sales with Global IT Giants like IBM, Cisco, Dell Technologies, EMC Storage Systems & Veeam Software. Started my professional journey as an Individual Contributor to achieve those challenging Sales targets, then led the teams with a Sales leadership role for driving businesses across various geographies worldwide. So far, it’s going pretty amazing. Woohooo 🙂
My Journey and Struggles!
Why did I start this Blog?
At the start of my US journey I realized having a single website for guidance would help me tremendously.
Through this blog I want to provide missing information to newcomers. This blog explains all aspects of my move, helping with visa paperwork and showing readers where to find homes and start driving. Getting a driver’s license, purchasing a car, setting up bank accounts, applying for SSN, how to improve my Credit Score as a beginner, the list is never-ending.
Through clear instructions combined with useful suggestions I want to help new immigrants handle these challenges successfully.
I want to help newcomers through the hard challenges of relocating.
This blog serves as your guide both before and after your US migration so you can smoothly follow each stage of the process.
Together we’ll guide you through these changes to help you settle into US life successfully.
It all started in March 2023 when I first landed in the United States as an early-day struggler. I faced multiple difficulties then.
As my flight was landing, thousands of thoughts crossed my mind. It all went through like a glimpse of a movie – right from…
- how I encountered multiple obstacles as I tried to comprehend different types of US Visa types
- managing visa application processes alongside piles of paperwork
- filling the DS-160 Form
- facing the visa processing
- Dealing with the multitude of documents required
- and finally, enduring the visa interview process
My first week as a new US immigrant brought me lots of hurdles that, I guess, any New US immigrant would have faced.
As I started my US Immigrant Journey, the struggles continued.
I needed to:-
- find a place to live
- buy a car
- Apply for a driver’s license
- Apply for a Social Security Number (SSN)
- Open bank accounts to satisfy my financial needs
- & comfortably survive in the United States, & the list goes on
Desiring precise, simple information proved impossible but frustrating.
My confusion and stress increased because many resources were spread across various sources and were difficult to understand.
These hurdles made my early days as a new immigrant quite turbulent.
The lack of clear, concise, and accessible information added to my frustration.
The overwhelming amount of scattered resources and the complexity of the processes made me feel lost and stressed.
I realized that many other new US immigrants must be facing similar challenges and experiencing the same sense of uncertainty and confusion.
This realization inspired me to start this blog, theusimmigrant.com
Through this platform, I aim to guide new US immigrants through their early struggles in the United States.
The site aims to educate new US immigrants on almost everything they need to survive during their first challenging years of life in the States. The Primary objective of this Platform is :
- to help International Students understand the US Education System’
- to educate all the newcomers on how to manage their move to the US better
- make their transition as new US Immigrants easier.
- figure out each step of their new US immigrant journey with ease
- Provide a detailed & step-by-step, resourceful guide on which they can comfortably rely to smoothen their early-day struggle in the US
Don’t worry. Hold my hand. We are in this together.
Wish you all the best with your New endeavor in this beautiful Land of Infinite Opportunities – THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

My Journey and Struggles!
A couple of years ago, I moved to the United States for work and was immediately faced with lots of challenges as an early-day struggler.
Before landing, challenges like understanding different types of US visas, navigating the visa processing, dealing with the multitude of documents required, and enduring the visa interview process, I had a lot of questions.
Once I arrived, the struggles continued. I needed to find a place to live, apply for a driver’s license, buy a car, apply for a Social Security Number (SSN), open bank accounts to satisfy my financial needs & comfortably survive in the United States, & the list goes on.
These hurdles made my early days as a new immigrant quite turbulent.
