If you have a real credit card (not a secured one) you could be good to go in 6 months.
There's lots of good credit history threads on here if you search for them.
Oh, and welcome to the US of A

When we moved to the US 8 years ago we leased a car through International Autosource. After leasing it for 2 years we took up the option to buy.. Don't know if it's the sort of thing you are looking for but it's worth taking a look.

Leasing?
Ford?
SUV?
Do you also pull your buttocks apart and sit on red hot coals?
You seem to be a bit of a masochist

2nd choice, get a Co signer/guarantor.

Re: Leasing A Car HELP!!!!!!!!
Don't understand why your visa came into play. We are here on E2's, recently leased an SUV from Ford and they were not in the slightest bit interested in how or why we were here. I think their decision is probably totally related to your credit history which has been in existence for a short time.
