Members, in our struggle to relocate, the information below about US can be of use so as we can make informed decisions.
Factors like workplace conditions, cost of living, income, taxes, and unemployment rates can differ vastly from state to state.
Rankings of “Best and Worst States to make a living in” published by Forbes this year, was based on income, taxes, cost of living, unemployment, and workplace environment data. This data was obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, C2ER, Tax-Rates.org, and Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.
These criteria were chosen because they represent all aspects of making a living i.e what chance you have of finding a job, how much you are likely to make, how much you get to keep, how much you can buy for your money, and what it’s like to work in your state.
Going from best to worst, here is how all 50 U.S. states ranked for 2013:
1. Washington
2. Virginia
3. Colorado
4. Texas
5. Wyoming
6. Minnesota
7. Nebraska
8. Utah

10. Oklahoma
11. Arizona

the way they ask for KCSE as Kenyan. what they ask for Indian? cz my passport and certificates are Indian
Click to expand...
Mushy, the minimum for KCSE that is specified is the minimum required to be admitted on a diploma at University of Nairobi i.e KCSE mean grade C plain or KCSE mean grade C- and a certificate. So in my thinking the equivalent for India should be the minimum required to be admitted on a diploma at the national university of India. Open for discussion
 
Sorry, i was talking about this.

Ok, these are fact which you should be able to consider when choosing a state in which you are going to live in. Some people may choose to relocate from their point of entries to better states, so such information is useful when making a decision. Like me, my point of entry is Oklahoma but I intend to relocate to Austin Texas if all goes well. This place has mild winters(average minimum winter temp ranges from 6 degrees C), low cost of living and its among the places in US where its easy to make wealth.
 
i want to know the bulletin of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 please help me cz i want to know when my CN will current

Just write the correct names in the forms which you send to KCC and then write them a mail explaining this mistake, when you are writing to them, do not forget to quote your case number, names, country and date of birth in format mm/dd/yy. Good luck

Yes Danny, its good to first arrive to the state where your host is going to receive you, study the situation, if the state is ok according to your ambition you stay if you need to relocate , you relocate to a better state after all you will be a green card holder. Remember all states have advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on what you want.

You must have gone through a course of formal education before you acquired this certificate. Please if it does not offend you, post the status of your education from where you started from up to your highest level so that members in the house can evaluate and advice you.

well to be honest i gave my 10th exam in 1999 and failed, i lost 5 subjects and then i tried in 2003 and i failed too, result was same but then i tried in 2009 and passed and the same year i gave 12th and passed too and then i started trade course in ITI(industrial technical institute) in and passed it too. the gap between fail and pass is big and that is why i am worried
