Starting Over in America — We Remove the Overwhelm

When you relocate to the United States on an L-1A, L-1B, or EB-1C, the excitement of approval quickly meets the reality of starting over: no credit history, no social security number, no school for the kids. This is where most families struggle — and where most immigration firms stop. USAIS doesn't stop at the visa.

With 16 physical US offices, we provide real, on-the-ground settling-in support. Think of us as your relocation partner and soft-landing concierge.

Family Relocation FAQs
Is settling-in support included with your visa services?
Settling-in services complement our visa and business-setup work. We tailor a package to what you actually need during your free consultation.
Can you really help open a bank account without US credit history?
Yes. Newcomers can open US bank accounts with passport, visa, and often an SSN or ITIN. We guide you to newcomer-friendly banks and help you start building credit through secured cards and other proven methods.
How does my spouse get permission to work?
Spouses of L-1A and L-1B visa holders receive L-2 status and are eligible to work. We guide your spouse through any authorization process and offer career/networking support.
Which cities do you provide settling-in services in?
With 16 US offices, we support major metropolitan areas across the country. We'll confirm coverage for your target city during your consultation.
How quickly can my children start school?
US public schools must enrol resident children promptly. Main requirements: proof of residency, age, and immunisation records. We help prepare everything so enrolment is smooth and fast.
Do you help after the first year?
Absolutely. While intensive support focuses on year one, we remain your long-term partner — assisting with L-1A/L-1B extensions and EB-1C planning.
