DeleteFirst time in the U.S.
DeleteWhen I came for the first in the U.S. I experienced a difficult things. First, Language it’s not good when I came to U.S. because I want to connect with other people. Second, Airport I didn’t know about every thing in the airport ,so I lost in the airport. Third, apartment I didn't found a good apartment when I came ,but I found it. Fourth, phone I didnt take a card phone to call my family and my friend. Fifth, car it’s not easy to take a car in the U.S. you take a driver licence. Sixth, when I move to new apartment I must take a new stuff for my new apartment. Finally I want to thank my friends to overcome this things.
Hi Abdulrahman
DeleteI wish to tell your friends what had happened to you so it doesn't happen with them
My advice to you have to read a lot about where you want to visit.
I Hope to see you on Monday, do not be late
well, one of the most difficult things was getting lost in big airport like Seattle airport, i tried to found the gate i want to be in but i couldn't , so i stopped a security guy to ask for help , he help me to got the full directions to continue my flight .
ReplyDeleteone week ago i discovered that the US immigration services stamped my papers in June 13 rather than May 13, and becouse of this mistake i couldn't apply to get the scholarship from saudi mission.
they told that if i did not correct this mistake the will not accept any application from my side.
So i went to the nearest Port of Entry which is in Roosville MT. near to Canada to correct this mistake, and before a while i also discovered that Roosville Port of Entry they didn't stamp my I-94, so am facing another problem right now
My name is Ahmad Abughaida. I was born and grew up in Kuwait. When I came to United States for the first time it was long trip. When the plane landed in Washington DC I had only one hour to take my luggage and to catch up with Washington DC – Denver plane. I missed the plane because I had no time and people were in a hurry. So I had to wait seven hours for the next plane. Officers in the airport were so strict that they took my toothbrush as well as my new perfume. When I arrived to Denver I had to wait another seven hours in the airport to get onboard to the Montana plane. I was very tired and exhausted but I tried to enjoy my every moment. The hardest part was when I had to speak with native English speakers, they were speaking so quickly that was hard for me to understand.
ReplyDeleteNow my life is very good. I am studying to get better job to support my family. My goal in the future is to be a petroleum engineer and make good money and to buy my own house.
hey Ahmed
DeleteI'm sorry about what happened to you.
My advice to you next time when you will come to U.S. try to choose direct way from Kuwait this will be easier for you.
Wish you all good
When I came to the U.S have faced great difficulty, because my family with me. I can't understand any person my language had very bad, so I had bad situation for me.
ReplyDeleteIn the first situation I spent time to complete data I-94, and I try do it three times,so the flight attendant she told me sorry I don't have more from application you can found it in Washington,DC Airport, so I spent the time isn't fun.
In the second situation When I was ready checkout. Someone in the reception told me about $ 400 I should be pay it and when I asked him about that ? he told me that the amount is the fee for the use of download movies television.
In the third situation When I came in Missoula I spent a month without a car. How can I go buy something for my family ? How can goes my daughter to school ?
We were do everything by walk, so we can't use the bus because we can't understand the map.

ReplyDeleteHI
ReplyDeleteToday i will talk about some problems that faced in united state. when i came to the united stated the first time . it was so difficult to me. because when i arrived to Denver airport . i stayed a long time in the immigration , because, there were a lot of student from saudi Arabia . in addition, i had short time to go to the gate. so when i arrived to the gate , and i talked with reception , i was so late . then i went to talk with office about this problem . he agreed to give one ticket to missoula . but i had to wait eleven ours for the next plane .therefore, i ordered of the office to give one room in the hotel, but he didn't agree with that . so i called to my cousin to pick me up with him . after that , i went with him to his apartment , and i stayed six hours with him . after that he picked me up to the airport
the second thing , when i went to sutdy in seattle i stayed one month in seattle . i studied in the school .i rented apartment with contract to period one year. After that , i thought to move bozeman because i got accept latter of bozeman of university . but i had problem about contract apartment . i talked with employee that he gave this contract to me . so he did not agree to transfer to any place other . but we found Solution to this problem . i paid almost money to four months after that i transferred to bozeman .
When i came to US the bهg problem i faced, it was my language. When i arrived in the air port i can't ask where is my gate.
ReplyDeletebecause my language is not good in speaking.
Some time i can explain slowly to the people work in the air port,but some of them they laugh when i speak English.
thy don't respect us, they know we can't speak English very well.
So i want to speak English as soon as possible.
When i pass this problem i'm going to be happy all my life.
Hi Faisal
DeleteDon't care for them, and you came to the U.S. to learn the language and you will facing some difficult things
good luck my brother ^_^
this is another test. Let's see if it works.
ReplyDeleteWhen I came in USA the most hard experience was explainig for anybody my own problems. For example, the medical insurance for my wife and future son. I didn't know that the Medicine Company BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) of Montana can sell us insurance policy for my wife's delivery. In Kazakhstan this service for our sitizens is free. Any my friends recomended me to buy insurance in Internet because it is cheap. We (my wife and I) did good step, when we didn't listen this advice and bought very expensive but excathedral insurance as BCBS. Now we haven't trouble. But it was when I just came in Missoula and I couldn't speek English well. My speeking skills started improve befor my studing language in ELI.
ReplyDeletethis is a test
