Advise about New York... by AshleighL
I am currently living in London but all my family live in the USA and I would like to join them. But my visa is taking a very long time to process so I thought I would try going down the job route to see if I can get sponsorship in the meantime. I ...
Hi AshleighL. I know it's been a while since you posted, but I hope I can be of some help. Getting sponsorship for a job is very difficult and just as time consuming. You might be better waiting for your visa. A good site that I have used is ... Read More

Hi NonaSpice. I do agree with your friend that NY can be a hard place to live...and you do have to work a lot, which means less time for fun unfortunately. I have a friend who is a massage therapist, but also is going to school for Chinese ... Read More

Hi Pamcake, I'm not Asian, but I have many friends who have moved to NY from Asia (Korea, Japan, China, etc.). A lot of my friends first found a room on Craigslist. You can also find a job there too, but be careful because there are a lot of ... Read More

Moving to New york by eXiscute
Hi, for a while now I've been trying to figure out what to do with my life, I have a wife, and a child on the way... currently I live in Dubai, but frankly don't see much future here and I'm wondering how life on the outside would be. New York .. ...
Hi Alex, I agree with Pinter101. There are a lot of networking opportunities and NY is a place where you can be anything you want. That said, NY is also one of the hardest cities to live in. I love NY (am a native), but it's one tough city. I ... Read More

Charlotte is one of my favorite cities. It's urban, suburban & country all in one...depending on which part of Charlotte you live in. The downtown area is relatively small, but it is clean and has several good restaurants, lounges, clubs, cafes, ... Read More

I agree with trevisani. Although New Yorkers like to badmouth New Jersey, it is a great place to live. If you live around Jersey City or Hoboken you have more space than if living in NYC. And rents are cheaper. However, New Jersey does have some ... Read More
Going to NY for 6 months....help? by jamesloo48
I am a Singaporean who has recently retired, fairly young...hehehe... I am considering moving to NY for a short term 6 months stay to see if it is somewhere I would like to spend a few more years of my retired life. So, could someone advise me on ...
Hi jamesloo48. I'm not sure about the visa requirements specifically for Singapore. Most people I know can come to the US for a 6-month visa only. You may be able to get it extended. As for cost of living. Manhattan apartments are roughly $1500 ... Read More
