Well I can agree with the crazy costliness of preparing to move to the US. This has been costing me a mint, everything is from $5 to $50 and it adds up quickly. I had some trouble finding an apartment but thank god I had someone from one complex help me get into another. Shipping my car and getting the moving truck has been a HUGE headache. I thought I had found a great mover, but now he tells me it will take 7-14 days to ship my stuff. That includes my car. I cannot go without my car in a new place for 2 weeks. How ridiculous is that? So i'm just trying to find someone who can get my stuff there a bit faster and i think i'm going to put my car on the train. I can go without my car longer here than i can there. I have also found the people who work at the CGFNS totally not helpful. It's very irritating because I'm paying them all this money and if they don't like their jobs they should find new ones. It's a pain, but I hope the experience will be worth it. Good luck to everyone who is in the same boat.
