Hello friends, I have gathered frequently asked questions about how to come to America from Texas cyprex. I have made a 3-hour video where I provide answers to these questions. I have divided this video into short segments between 30 and 40 minutes, and I will upload each segment day by day consecutively. Today, you will watch one of these segments. If you wish, you can read the written text of the answers I provide to how you can come to America at yenihayat.com. Or you can watch and listen to the answers to these questions in this video accompanied by travel footage. Enjoy watching! Well, another question goes like this: a few young people, a few friends came to me and said, Can you arrange a software job for me in America? This is one of the nice and pleasing questions. I congratulate my friends for their courage, but unfortunately, I cannot directly arrange a software job for you in America. I can share some resources and steps that will help you find a software job in America. Helping one person find a job for another is a whole different matter.

In the field of HR and headhunting services, I won't be able to directly contribute in that sense, but let me tell you a few things that came to my mind. First of all, it's very important, friends, to create your resume on LinkedIn in English. If you don't have an English resume, then for the first time, create a detailed professional resume in English. This is important. Make sure to do this on popular job search sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster, Dice, etc. Do your research, participate in networking and professional platforms. Be present at events like Eventbrite, Meetup, and various technology events to showcase yourself. Attend career fairs and events, make an effort to get some business cards. And of course, work on improving your skills. You may be in different areas like frontend, backend, cybersecurity, DevOps, product development, UI/UX, right? So, there are various courses available for this.

You can take courses from Udemy, you can take them from Kerden, you can take them, you can take them from Ud City, you can get certificates from these places. I don't know how valid they are, but at least add value to yourself, friends, and show concrete actions you can take with this added value. Therefore, you can seize an opportunity to stand out in terms of highlighting yourself. Also, make plenty of applications. You will probably make hundreds of applications, and the response will be negative. Especially now, in the field of software, there is not as high recruitment as before, but you can evaluate it as an opportunity to develop yourself. Therefore, consider the sources you will follow, like LinkedIn. LinkedIn is very important, it is a must. A good profile photo in English. Then, there is GL, GL is available, you can see salary ranges, for America, there is Monster Dice, these are important, both Monster and Dice, especially for software. Also, there is AngelList, you can look at AngelList. By following these steps, looking at these sources, you can increase your chances of finding a job. But directly, I am not looking for a job for you, friends.

Unfortunately, I'm sorry, I can't find it. So, let's move on to the next question. He says for e2, first, I will come, then my family will come. Is it possible? Yes, it is possible. If you are already in America with a tourist visa, you can come and establish the business for e and then bring your family. But when you change your status, you won't be able to leave America. If you do, you know you lose the thing, you lose the status. Therefore, this should be kept in mind. A process like this can be followed: you will come to America, establish your business. First, you came to the USA, then you established your business, applied for the e2 status. Of course, the steps should be suitable for e. It is crucial to set up the company accordingly. Then, through your lawyer, you applied for the status change. Of course, within this, a business plan is required. Your lawyer will transition you to the e2 status, then the next step is the approval of the e2 status for family members. Then, your spouse and this is important, unmarried individuals under 21.

Can you apply for this dependent status for your children? This is important, you need to pay attention to this. Who will the company be established on? Because who can work, who cannot work should work. In other words, that is important, the timing of the work permit is important to adjust your money accordingly. It is important to balance this if your children are over 21 years old. Well, their situation is important. And you need to plan all these issues properly and plan ahead, you should plan ahead. Things can be easier when you plan ahead. There is a food truck section here, but I want to go there and see it up close, it looks bumpy on the road, but let's see. Yes, here it has become like a series of a food truck park. Yes, here it is like a food truck park, friends, a few trucks lined up one after the other. Another question this time, there are children aged 7 and 12, in other words, children going to primary school. What they actually want to ask is, we will come to America with a tourist visa, can we enroll our children in school as tourists? The immediate answer to this, under normal circumstances, actually you can enroll. I mean, you are here as a tourist, what does it have to do with children going to school, I will say, but

Actually, since we came as tourists and aimed for something else, we matched the planning at that time and, in that way, we arranged what are we doing with the kids, I mean, I enrolled my daughter in school. Because we have a process with E2 and E, so due to these processes, we need to be here, and the child also needs to continue their education. So, we can enroll the child in school anyway. Of course, everything comes to your mind within a plan. So, first of all, you search for schools. I researched many schools in Turkey, made a list of schools with 90 points and above, and after coming here, I visited those schools. While visiting the schools, I also walked around the schools, especially looking at whether there are broken glass in front of the buildings, if there are grilled windows, if there are old cars. I looked at those to understand the environment, whether it is good or bad. Then, I looked for rental places through Zillow. I went through Zillow one by one, listing the potential places where I could rent. Around the $12300 mark while in Istanbul.

I had found a lot of places, but when I came here, I couldn't find those prices in the summer. Therefore, I am currently paying $1849 for my current home. Monthly, sorry, what is included in this? Internet and TV are included, I pay $1849, but when I looked from Istanbul, there were places for $300. I was very happy. How nice it would be if I rented it for $1300 at worst, right? In 10 months, it's not like 1,000, it would be $2600, right? I thought I could do this job for $15,600, it was very appealing to me. But now I'm paying a bit more, maybe the neighborhood could be better, but at the end of the day, the essence of the matter is, yes, I have been able to enroll your children so far, and there hasn't been any problem. We are going through a status change, and then we will move on to the next stage. You have to enroll the children anyway because you will probably experience similar things. So, don't worry about that. Don't worry about the children's English either because the foreign language, or rather the native language here, is.

There are some special things happening for non-English speaking children, arrangements are made in that sense. Your child will not experience any trouble, rest assured, friends. In fact, I can say if you don't speak English, you will somehow have to take care of your child's affairs first. So, the next question is, what if we applied for a tourist visa and they gave us an appointment for a year later? What can we do? I can't do anything, but you can. There is a way for this because I went through the same process like you. They gave me an appointment for my spouse about a year later. In the appointment screen, friends, I refreshed 56 times a day. When I refreshed, almost within a month, like 27-28 days later, we had our visa appointment. Look, think about it. Normally, you would have to wait for 12 months, but before the first month was over, what did we do? We had the appointment. But how was this possible? We monitored that appointment screen every day, we followed, followed, and when we found suitable dates, we withdrew and I did it twice. This is also an interesting place.

By the way, there are activities for children, I don't know if you noticed, but when I turn my head like this, I can look more carefully. Yes, as we turn, the next topic is a question, or more precisely, a frequently asked one. Bro, which state should we recommend? This is a big question for me. Well, I currently live in Texas, Cypress, and I can only tell you about here, but when I look at quality of life indices, like many other YouTuber friends' videos I watch, the general opinion is that the starting costs are high in Florida, sorry, in California. Florida has a mild climate, nice and sweet but very hot, like Adana Seyhan, whereas Seattle is known for the technology sector, so living costs are a bit high because there are people with high salaries. New Jersey is where there is a Turkish population, which may be attractive, and living costs, well, I'm not sure, it's debatable. They prefer Chicago. We chose Texas, Cypress, and I can say about here. The house I live in costs $1849, I showed it in one of the videos. My daughter also has a score of 96.

The climate is hot for going to school. I can't say this place is incredibly amazing, but you see, the roads are quite green. It's lush and clean, but hot. You can't walk outside, you see. You can't walk. Oh, we saw someone walking, it's interesting. It's a matter of preference. It rains a lot here. This region is Florida and Houston, friends. There are a few storm periods in the summer. There can be storms and hurricanes. You need to be prepared for them. Other than that, the cost of living in the place where I am seems reasonable and logical. Like I said, it seems like we can cover a month around $56,000. So, it seems like that. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right state based on your research and job opportunities. For us, Texas Houston is suitable due to its cost-effectiveness, airport, embassy, and relatively affordable cost of living. That's why we chose Texas. Another question, a bit of a complaining question, was like this: I've been participating in the lottery for 5 years, but I haven't won. What do you recommend? Well, I...

I agree. It's not coming to me either. There's nothing to do. It's a matter of luck. They hire between 2,500 and 4,000 people. Most likely, it won't come out because maybe hundreds of thousands of people are applying, so you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. It's necessary to take more realistic steps. There are some visas; as I answered in other questions, there is the H1B visa, the L1 visa, the E2 investor visa, the EB5 investor visa, the EB3 visa, family sponsorships, and going through engagement. So, all these options need to be evaluated. Do you have to come to America no matter what? Is it necessary to come to America? In my opinion, you should think about that. When you come here, the cost of starting a life is not that simple. So, it's not that easy. Therefore, if you want to come to America, okay, it's the Land of Freedom, there are plenty of opportunities, but the start, my friends, is not that easy. If you have money in your pocket, it's easy. When there is money, everything is easy. But when there isn't, it's hard, my friends. It's really hard. So, it's good to be prepared.

Friends, if you come without any plan or preparation, I don't know, you might face a lot of difficulties. So, another question, friends. The question is like this, I have no money, how can I go to America and find a job? Answering this question, coming without money and finding a job is a difficult process. I'll say this clearly, it's not impossible but difficult, friends. Well, you need to take logical and reasonable steps without being a dreamer. To achieve this, you need to move in a planned and strategic way. You can consider an F1 student visa, you can come as a student, but you still need to have enough money to pay for education, and your work permit won't be extensive. You can come with a J1 visa for Work and Travel, look around here, maybe there is a guest worker program called H2B, maybe you can consider that, evaluate it, with family and friends' support. Maybe you can get support from someone you know, take their help, they might provide you with references. Check your circle, see who can help you. Let's talk about Walmart, let's go around Walmart. Take a good look at Walmart. Let's see who's there.

Let's wait, another topic can be considered. You can think about language schools, maybe you can meet someone on social media and establish a connection, you know, from there, maybe you can seize a job opportunity, maybe you have a chance to find an employer sponsorship, and so on. So, if you don't have money, you should look at ways to make money. If you couldn't make money in Turkey, maybe it could be difficult to make money in America, sister, aunt, what should I call you, I don't know, look, the one who got the empty one there also took. It's a nice gesture. Dream, but don't be a dreamer, this is important, keep your feet on the ground. Because you will struggle a lot when you come here. It won't be easy. So, another question, what should I sell in Turkey and come to America, what do you recommend, bro, I'm answering, please don't do it, you know, I understand, the attraction of America is great, lots of people are chasing a better life in America, dreaming, but selling everything, spending their savings, and jumping into the unknown, it's very risky and not a move to be made without thinking. Therefore, um...

Be very careful, and I think you shouldn't do that. Why shouldn't you do that? Let me tell you this. Well, in America, there are living costs and an unknown America. Okay? So, America is not just one place; there are over 50 states, and each state has different things, a different environment. Once you get used to this environment, until you adapt, you will spend some time, and during that time, you will spend money, and maybe you won't like it here and will want to leave. But you sold everything, went, sold and dealt with it, came here, now you have no chance to go back. It might be a good strategy to hold on, but I don't know, I mean, do you really need to put yourself under that much psychological pressure? I'm not sure. Secondly, if you sold everything to go to America, how will you come? Will you come illegally, seek asylum, or come with a visa? I do not recommend seeking asylum here. You will live a miserable life; you will already have a limited amount of money in your pocket, and once, well, you won't be able to get into legal processes in a real sense. Yes, you will be able to get a Green Card.

And in your pocket, if you don't have a proper visa, I'm not sure if it's worth the risk you're going to take. Another issue is cultural and social integration, so will you be able to achieve this integration? Will this place really appeal to you? Therefore, if this place does not appeal to you, if you have sold everything in Turkey, you are ruined, finished, gone, don't do it, it's not worth it to find a job. Here is not welcoming you with open arms, not waiting for me, not waiting for anyone. Finding a job here is both easy and difficult, generally difficult, especially if you don't speak the language. Among the Turks, there are many good people who can help, we have good people everywhere, but there are also bad people. This is entirely due to the nature of people, regardless of nationalities. Well, if you can't find a job, it can really be a great disaster and trouble for you. Therefore, this is also a very important issue; you may not be able to find a job initially, or you may find a very low-level job. Just imagine, maybe you are an architect, an engineer, a doctor, a businessman, or whatever, maybe you are a civil servant, maybe, well, maybe you graduated from the Ministry of the Interior, I apologize from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you retired from the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

You retired from the Ministry as a teacher, you retired as an engineer, you retired, all good and well, but you have come here to do Uber driving. Do you really want this? Look, this friend, you see, is begging, has lost his job, really unfortunate, he's begging. Do you want to end up in this situation? You wouldn't want that. Friends, don't sell everything and come here. Truly, this doesn't mean you went, now we come, no, that's not the case. I really don't want you to be miserable. So, if you have the opportunity, come if the conditions allow, especially families with children, don't sell everything and come here. Don't risk everything. When I say everything, I mean, if you can't hold on, what will happen? You won't have a place to return, the family will fall apart, the children will be miserable. Don't do it. Friends, don't sell everything and come here, that's my advice, my humble opinion, whether you accept it or not, of course, it's up to you. So, mature your conditions.

If you can make it happen for 3,000 dollars from Turkey, when you come here, it will accelerate, but when you come here, you have nothing. You don't even know what kind of work you will do. It's okay to do the lowest level jobs with that mindset if you've come with that mindset and if you've sold everything for that, don't sell it and don't come, it's not worth it, that's my opinion. Well, if you agree, if you don't agree, at least I've warned you. So, what can you do? Well, I think you should make a good plan if you really want to come to America. Making this decision hastily and without planning, I think, is not right. Make a good plan, which visa to apply for, where to stay, how to find a job, with a plan in advance. Maybe you have 1 or 2 years ahead of you, go learn a manual skill, for example, learn everything related to cars, how to change car oil, how to change a tire, how to solve basic mechanical problems, and basic household tasks like painting and renovation, how to do basic manual work. I think you should learn these because these are things you will need here anyway to reduce your cost of living.

Things can also be turned into money. So, you can learn these things in Turkey while you still have time. So, it doesn't have to be necessarily in America; you can consider alternatives. In my opinion, think about it. Maybe it could be somewhere else; maybe it could be Canada, maybe Australia, maybe New Zealand, maybe Germany, maybe Finland, right? If you insist on going somewhere else from Turkey, think about other places, but as I said, make a very good plan beforehand instead of selling everything off hastily. Maybe try to earn money beforehand, maybe consider getting an education in America. If you are coming to America and looking for a way to settle down, an education could be an opportunity. In the end, what I will say is that selling off everything hastily is not very reasonable. It's a huge gamble. Coming here, sniffing around, checking if there is a possibility, looking at the chances, and then making a decision might be meaningful. If you say we don't have enough money to come there, if you are hesitant to spend 3, 4, 4,5000 dollars, then...

Leaving everything behind and coming here with all your belongings, and then, after a while, thinking, Oops, it seems like a lot of money is being spent here. How are we going to return? can be much riskier. So, I recommend not getting into that situation at all. I say, plan, plan, plan, plan, plan, plan from the very beginning, my friends. I mean, selling everything and coming here may not be reasonable. Please, please make a very good plan, my friends. If, for example, you are going to spend $50,000, $70,000, $80,000, $100,000, at the end of the day, maybe this business won't work out, and you will have to go back. Instead of wasting this money, get an idea from someone, get consultancy from our people. People are avoiding paying for advice, as if it's a sin. For example, lawyers charge $200 for half an hour, $400 for an hour, and consultations with lawyers are perceived in a certain way, like, Oops, we lost the money. No, buddy, without losing the money, that person's job is to sell you that knowledge and provide you with the most accurate information and guidance. In that half-hour, you are benefiting from all that person's experience and expertise.

You made that meeting to be able to get what you need from that window. Therefore, take those ideas from the people you can ask for advice from the consultants and in the job you will give, let's say, 50,000, 50 dollars, 100 dollars, 200 dollars, 300 dollars, your 50,000 dollars, 100,000 dollars prevent it from going to waste. This is really important, one should pay attention to this. When you find the right person, go to that consultation, get that information, and act accordingly. In my opinion, don't come selling everything, speaking for myself in Turkey. Well, in Turkey, I have houses and I haven't sold any of those houses, I only sold two of my cars because I couldn't use them anyway. When I come to America, if for some reason I return to Turkey, friends, I will just open the doors, enter my house, lift the covers off everything, and continue with my life. You might say, We are really tired of this country, we are more exhausted from Turkey than ever. Everything is getting very difficult, the conditions are getting tougher, we want to leave, we want to change, bro. Then go on vacation, go on vacation for a month, 5,000 dollars.

Spend $10,000. Spend it. But leave the country for a month, two months, three months. Then come back. When you have been away for three months, see if you can do it. Can you do it? Can you manage it? Did I explain it? Therefore, because the conditions in the country are tough, after selling everything and leaving the country, you may not be able to come back. This could be a huge disaster for you. When you feel the need to return, I am telling you my own opinion directly. Friends, selling everything to come back could be wrong. Please don't do it. If you insist on coming back, of course, the decision is yours. Another question, I want to move to America, but I can't convince my spouse. What should I do? This came from a few male friends. Obviously, the spouses do not want to come to America, but the gentlemen want to come, and the car is very nice. By the way, I would follow if it wasn't for this car, it would have been better. Let's turn back from here before there is an accident. Yes, by the way, this is my home, just 300-400 meters ahead. So, if I want to buy a house, I want to buy from this area.

So, you also get to see this area, and there is another place on the left side that I really like this area in general. I really like it. So, I definitely want to make a real estate investment here. Let's see, hopefully, it will be a good fortune. Now, going back to the question, the question is, I want to move to America, but I can't convince my spouse. What should I do? Well, it's a tough question. Moving to America is a big step, and convincing spouses can really be difficult. I am one of those who failed in the first one. In 2013, I had my American visa, and after eBay bought Gitti Gidiyor, I came to San Francisco. I stayed here for a while and got a 10-year visa valid until 2021. I got that visa, got married, and then in 2013, I said to my wife, Look, I work at eBay, I'm an eBay employee. Shall we move to America? What do you think? She first agreed, then changed her mind and said no. So, I tried a couple of times, checked if it would work or not, but it was a dead end.

I don't want to move to America or anything, and I didn't continue because this is a decision that should be made together. It's not something a man can decide alone and say, Come on, let's go. It's risky. I will explain that too. Now, this is a decision that should be made together. When you move together to America or to a different country, to a different environment, you will encounter many difficulties, many differences. So, you will need to overcome this together. Both you and your spouse need to support each other financially and spiritually. You can really encounter very different, strange, absurd things. You can say, Is it really like this? Because they have created a unique world here, different from our culture. Look, they have managed to create such an atmosphere by following certain rules. Now, let's think about America. I have worked abroad, you know. Tehran is 3 hours away from Istanbul. Tehran is very comfortable, can be reached in 3 hours.

I went to Egypt, I worked there. In Egypt, it's like a 2-hour job, but in Dubai, it's a 4 to 5-hour distance. However, it's not the same in America. Even in Germany, Germany is very close, but in America, it's not like that, my friends. America, I mean, it takes 12 hours, right? I mean, you really travel in a tube in the air, so going back and forth is really not possible, not easy. The distance is long, and it depends on the type of visa you choose. Maybe you may not be able to come to Turkey for 2 years or more. There is also such a situation. You need to be ready psychologically and financially. So, when you come here, if there is little money and if there starts to be friction between you and your spouse because you cannot earn money, and if there is no money coming from anywhere, what will you do? Imagine that your spouse doesn't speak the language. Let's say your spouse, well, the woman doesn't have English, or the opposite, the man doesn't have English but the woman does. Both are possible. One side may really feel more excluded, more marginalized, more like a less effective person, feeling. If this feeling...

If this comes out, it can lead to psychological problems and conflicts, so if you are not ready psychologically, friends, there is a possibility of serious problems arising. Therefore, I think both spouses need to want it at the same level. Like I said, when I first proposed to my spouse to go to America in 2013, she first accepted, then rejected. When she rejected, I didn't insist, I closed the chapter of America. Later on, I realized that the possibility of my spouse coming to America was not there because she didn't have such a dream or goal. But as time passed, conditions in Turkey changed significantly, and we were going to have a daughter. When our daughter turned 9 years old, in order not to disrupt her education and to bear high costs, and with other factors coming into play, if her education were to be disrupted, with her worries, my spouse proposed to come to America after the March elections. America was not on my mind at all, let's stop here, fairies and genies, again.

Let's wait. By the way, my language skills have improved a lot, I'm tired. Well, excuse me. Like I said, he suggested and said, Let's go to America. I was actually going to Dubai. To be honest, I was planning to find a Chief Technology Officer position there and take everything to Dubai. It's closer and, you know, I thought it might be better. He didn't want to go to America anyway, so it wasn't on my mind. But when he made the offer, we ended up coming to America. Therefore, he was convinced, I hadn't agreed in the beginning. Since he was convinced, if he hadn't made such a request, I wouldn't have come here, to America, let me tell you clearly. I wasn't really passionate about America. I'm 45 years old now, and at the age of 22, I came here as a software developer, and I had the possibility of doing some interesting things here. Actually, I love software development. I learned it in technical high school, my friends. Developing software code is a tremendously enjoyable thing for me; I really love it. It's really great, fantastic.

Let's cross over. They are also building a construction there, just like the places we visited. They are setting up a website there. I wonder how much they will sell it for; maybe we can buy it. Yes, let's go back now. Yes, well, as I was saying, if I had come here right after university at the age of 22, I really love coding in the software field, I love teaching it, explaining it, setting up systems. Especially, I love developing scalable, high-traffic systems. I could probably be working at Google or Facebook, or maybe at Amazon. Currently, the people in my position, especially those working in the field of video processing, earn roughly between $600,000 and $1 million annually. Their annual salaries are like this. Let me tell you about the salary of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) position in the U.S. It ranges from $200,000 to $500,000. So, if you earn around $300,000 to $350,000, you can consider it as a standard salary, and it can go up to $500,000, my friends. At Facebook, for example, it can go up to 1...

There are people who have millions of dollars, even much more. So, I was 21 years old with that love, that energy, developing software, developing systems, with an engineering mindset. If my friends had come here, it would probably have been very different, but now I am 45 years old, a lot of water has passed under the bridge. We have come here in a different combination, in a different conjuncture. Let's see how it will be. Do you still have the same excitement? Not really, but now I am 45 years old, so we need to be realistic. Therefore, we need to adjust our actions according to our age. In conclusion, if my spouse didn't want it, I wouldn't have come this far. Even though I really wanted it before, I wouldn't have forced her and I wouldn't have come. But since she was already psychologically prepared for this process, and when the offer came from her, I accepted it and came here. Now, if your spouse is convinced, what a situation, but if not, if they are not open to the idea of America, then there may be unwanted problems in the future, arguments, or even reaching the point of divorce. Or you may decide to return with just a disagreement. So, if everything...

If you have sold and come back, you cannot return. If you have not sold your city and will return again, meaning you rented here, bought furniture, bought a car, you will sell some of them back, some you may not be able to sell, so you can recover a percentage, maybe not recover a percentage, let these pass. So, you will have spent a significant amount of money, and this may push you into financial difficulty. Therefore, to convince your partner about this, generally men want it, women don't, a position arises, I don't know if the opposite is possible, if there is, you tell me. While trying to convince your partner about this, you need to understand his/her concerns and support him/her, yes, moving has many advantages. You may be explaining these in detail, but at the same time, you need to have a conversation about the difficulties you may encounter and how to deal with these difficulties. If you don't have experience abroad, this may be a difficult process for you as well. So, going abroad for the first time for a long period may be difficult.

I remember explaining what I was working on. It was tough, friends, quite tough, you know. I worked for 6 years abroad alone, so it's not easy. And after each arrival here, you go with a psychological distress, it's not easy. In the end of the day, getting your spouse's consent and ensuring that they also desire this process is important for both you and your family. If you also get their consent, you can start a new life in America more securely and healthily. But let me say the last sentence like this: If your spouse does not want to come to America, do not force it. If your spouse does not want to come to America, do not force it. And, well, there is no need to prolong the issue there, because it can affect your marriage in the future. We have come to the end of this part of our 3-hour video. See you in the next section. For now, goodbye.
