Moving to another city, especially if it is in another country, is a task that requires well-thought-out actions. But if you are aware of all the migration rules and procedures, even moving to Miami will become much easier for you.
Instructions
Step 1
Get a long-term visa or residence permit for the United States. To do this, you will need good reason, because a regular tourist visa is not enough to move. If you have enough money, the easiest way is the student visa. Enroll in one of Miami's universities, for example, Florida International University, and get a sought-after specialty that will allow you to subsequently get a job in the United States. If you already have an in-demand specialty, find an employer in Miami and arrange with him to help you get a work visa for you. Miami is a major financial center of the American South, so it will be easier for people involved in international finance to find work there than other categories of professionals. Also, the green card lottery can be a fallback. Every year, the United States raffles a certain number of green cards - permanent residence documents - among citizens of various countries, including Russia. To participate in the lottery, you need to register on the official government website and wait for a response - you do not pay anything for participation, the fee is charged only if you win.
Step 2
Find accommodation in Miami. If you have the opportunity, buy tickets and come to the city in advance to personally find accommodation. If you don't have time, find yourself a temporary home online. Contact only local agencies - Russian-language sites are focused mainly on luxury housing, often at inflated prices. Don't rush to buy a house, even if you have enough money - live in Miami first and decide exactly if you want to stay in this city.
Step 3
If you are moving with children, take care of their integration. Children should be registered in a good private school or kindergarten in advance. Also find out if the chosen educational institution has adaptation classes for foreign children - at first, even a schoolchild who knows English well can find it difficult to understand the teacher and classmates.
Step 4
Move your belongings from Russia to Miami. Please note that transportation will be quite expensive, so take only the most valuable items.
