Now that many of you that were affected by the retrogression have now received green cards and will be arriving in the US soon, I think that we should now have a thread focusing on that. As well as for all of the others from different countries.
Where to go to purchase initial items that will be needed. What to expect the first weeks of being a new resident in the US, etc. Many of us have are special places to find things.
She can go ahead and get general courses done, and those credits should transfer, but the US has strict rules on age, etc. She would be much further ahead to just work on general classes, such as more English and even get her Humanites requirements completed. Their will be issues with transferring many of the other hours to a US school. Most of the sciences will not be accepted in many cases. But more English, especially where it involves public speaking and writing will be quite beneficial to her. And she can use those with any programs. I definitely would not enroll her in nursing at this time, those credits will definitely not transfer, and she would need to repeat them later on. This happens when even trying to transfer to another program in the same city. Each school is quite specific in their requirements here.
Thank you so much, Suzanne. Your reply has opened more options for us as regards schooling for my child. I will discuss this with my daughter.
