Account for Expatriates

An expatriate, often called an expat, is someone living outside their country of citizenship or usual home, commonly for work, family, study, or another relocation reason. Expatriates may need help understanding housing, documentation, banking, healthcare, transportation, schools, and everyday systems in their new country. Moving2US supports newcomers settling into life in the United States.

There is no single website that is best for every expatriate because useful resources depend on the person’s destination, immigration situation, employer, household, and immediate priorities. Moving2US provides personalized destination-services support rather than general information alone, helping newcomers coordinate housing, appointments, banking, utilities, schools, healthcare orientation, and neighborhood essentials through one adviser.

Moving2US provides coordinated support for housing and rental searches, Social Security applications, driver’s license appointments, bank-account and credit-card setup, school registration, healthcare and insurance navigation, utility activation, property inspections, car-buying guidance, and neighborhood orientation. Services can support executives, individuals, couples, and families relocating to the United States.

Yes. The housing service is designed to help foreign nationals and expatriate executives secure U.S. rentals without prior U.S. credit history. Support includes a housing strategy, neighborhood and rental-market orientation, a shortlist of up to five properties, accompanied viewings, application assistance, lease review, and lease negotiation support before signing.

Moving2US provides preparation and appointment support for obtaining a U.S. Social Security Number. The service includes preparing the application paperwork, scheduling the appointment, and accompanying the newcomer to the Social Security Administration office. This can help relocating executives organize an important administrative step connected with payroll and employment setup.

Moving2US assists newcomers with preparing to open a U.S. checking or savings account before the Social Security Number arrives. Cheryl Stern provides guidance on available account options, attends the account-opening process with the newcomer, and explains possible routes toward obtaining a first U.S. credit card. Specific approval decisions remain with financial institutions.

Yes. School support can include guidance on preschool and public-school options, matching housing searches to school zones, completing enrollment packets, and organizing required health, immunization, and academic paperwork. Moving2US can also help with follow-ups. School availability, admissions decisions, and documentation requirements are determined by the relevant schools or districts.

Moving2US helps newcomers prepare driver’s license applications or transfers, review required paperwork, schedule appointments, and receive support at the DMV office. Assistance can also include written theory test preparation and in-person accompaniment. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so the applicable DMV rules and documents are reviewed as part of the preparation process.
