Every week, around 200,000 visas are issued for people moving temporarily and permanently to the United States. All of those new arrivals have questions about how to move, what to do first, and how to live their life in America; and all of them have stories about how they got here. So every Wednesday, we'll be connecting with professionals, expats, and interesting people from all over the world to learn together and make your own move to America easier, and much more fun.Support the show
