Moving to the United States
NOTE: The authoritative sources for information about moving or
traveling to the United States are the various agenices of the United States
Government that deal with aspects of entry, immigration, and naturalization
(eg.the Bureau of Consular Affairs at
Department of State, the Immigration and
Naturalization Service at the Department of Justice, and the U.S. Customs Service at Department of the
Treasury). Information from these sources can be found in the Consular Section of the U.S.
Embassy Oslo website.
However, many commercial companies not affiliated with the U.S. Government have
also compiled useful guides to the immigration and the relocation process. For
your convenience, we provide links to some of them below, but please bear in
mind that this does not constitute an official endorsement. (see also our web site disclaimers and privacy

- Foreignborn.com - a site for people
who are considering a move to the United States. Includes guides to everything
from the immigration process to practical things such as buying or leasing a
car, obtaining health insurance and medical care, using banking services, and
studying and finding a career.
