- Core
Your first 30 days in America: SSN, ID, address, basics
Your bank wants an SSN, the SSA wants an address, and the landlord wants a bank account, and newcomers lose weeks to that circle. The first month is sequenced here so each task unlocks the next instead of blocking it.

Opening a US bank account with no credit history (Chase, BoA, SoFi)
You can often open a US account with a passport and visa alone, but the choice of bank, and whether you need an SSN first, decides how smoothly it goes. Chase, Bank of America, and newcomer options like SoFi are compared, with how the account seeds your credit.

Finding US housing: leases, security deposits, credit checks for foreigners
US landlords screen on a credit score you don't have yet, and the listings that don't care are often the scams. Learn the alternatives that genuinely work, a larger deposit, a guarantor, prepaid rent, and how to read a lease and spot a fake listing.

US healthcare crash course: insurance, ACA, employer plans
One uninsured ER visit can cost more than a month's pay, and the vocabulary alone, deductible, copay, coinsurance, out-of-pocket max, is built to confuse. It explains how US coverage really works and how to avoid a gap between landing and your employer plan.

Setting up phone, utilities, and getting an ITIN if needed
A postpaid phone plan and the electric company both want to run credit you haven't built, so they ask newcomers for deposits locals never see. Set up a prepaid phone first, connect utilities without overpaying, and file Form W-7 for an ITIN if a tax need arrives before your SSN.
$99 - Core
Bringing dependents to the US (H-4, F-2, L-2 EAD)
A spouse's right to work in the US depends entirely on which dependent visa they hold, and the L-2 and H-4 rules surprise most families. H-4, F-2, and L-2 status, school enrollment for children, and exactly who may work are spelled out.
