7 Things to Know Before You Move to USA from India

If you are planning to migrate to USA from India, you can expect a quite lot of changes from lifestyle to language. Especially for Indians, USA culture seems a lot different from India.

But one positive feel about the USA is you can see a lot of Indians there which helps you in feeling at home. So choose the best cities in USA for new Immigrants. Along with the mandatory things to carry to the USA for Indians, here are 7 things to know before you move to the USA.

 

1.      Drive on Right, not left

The most important change you feel from India is the driving rules. In India, we generally go left but in the USA, it is the right side. So make sure you are not confused and enter the wrong way.

 

2.      Meal timings are earlier

Indian meal timings and American meal timings differ a lot. If anyone asks you for dinner, make sure you get the timings. If you forget that, you may end up being late because American dinner timings are far earlier than ours are.

 

3.       Get your driver’s license at earliest

Make sure you apply for a Learners' Driving license within a week of your arrival in the USA because it is mandatory for any person driving over there. And as you know the traffic rules are quite strict when compared to Indian rules. Along with that, make sure you apply for State ID as well which will help you in many ways.

4.      Converting Dollars to Rupees

A common thing you can find in Indians in the USA is, they start converting dollars to Indian rupees. However, let me tell you a fact here, please do not do that. It may shock you but never help. As you have decided to immigrate to USA, get used to dollars.

 

5.       Greet them

A great culture of Americans is greeting a known person politely when they are facing each other. Habituate that, it will show your friendly nature. Also, they feel offended if you are not even smiling while greeting them. Just say, “Hi, How are you?” and if anyone asked the same question no need to answer personally, just say “Good. Thank you”. At the same time, never dig into personal stuff.

 

6.      Make sure you dress well

The entire world praises Americans for their dressing style. So make sure you also dress well as per the place you are going to. Trust me, this kind of style makes us feel worth moving to the USA from India.

7.      Learn to fulfill your basic needs

This is mandatory to mention that as you are leaving to live on yourself, make sure you can do your daily stuff like cooking, cleaning, etc. Because maintaining a house cleaner for all these will cost your millions.

Hope these things help you get ready to settle in USA from India. For any help with Immigration, you can connect with USA immigration consultants in India.
