Re: trip to New York - need idea of places/areas to stay

I agree Pavonia/Newport is nice but I think the hotels are still pretty steep as they cater for business people.

Re: trip to New York - need idea of places/areas to stay

There are a few hotels not that far from the entrance to the Lincoln tunnel, you should be able to jump onto a bus to get into Manhattan from Jersey side and it should be really quick.

Re: How can i rent in Boston

If you can get someone to be guarantor for you, that may work. The credit check will be carried out on them.

Re: Pregnant and moving to the US

Re: Pregnant and moving to the US

Will you be having your 20 week scan before you arrive? Bring your notes with you but your OB will probably scan you again here.

Re: US/UK bedding question

I found duvet covers really pricey here for the type and quality.

We just ended up using a flat sheet with the comforter and then wash flat sheet regularly and comforter less so.

Re: How Soon can I go to SS Office?

Maybe they didn't take a copy of the back of the I-94. For mine, the lady took the staple out and went to make copies and then came back and restapled - I thought it must be for the back.
