Idea
For those already jetting out or have already done so. I have an idea that can keep you busy as you settle down and hustle for a job. (subject to state rules and laws apply) As you are allowed to start your own business (subject to rules and regulations) use Small Business Administration www.sba.gov for guidance...... I was thinking if you don't mind getting your hands dirty to get some cash as you job hunt or applying for college and stuff. If you have like 200 or so dollars, you can register a cleaning company....Research in your state if you can immediately do so when you receive your SSN. Start by designing a flyer using one of the free online design tools(here are a few samples.
https://www.google.com/search?q=cle...avygPPlYLADQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=667).
Print them off from your hosts printer or have them professionally done for a few dollars. Advertise your services in local websites like www.craigslist.org under household services.... I think it should be free. Don't forget to include some offer on the prices etc....eg 25% off on the first job, this guys love a bargain!!!! you should see how the fight it out on BLACK FRIDAY.....just google black friday shopping and view the images.
By a second hand vacuum cleaner and some cleaning detergents. Start with your local community to distribute the flyers. Look up for house agents around your town/city drop the flyers with them. Ask them to give you a call when someone moves out of a condo, house etc. to go clean it up for the next tenant moving in. Look for areas where the pensioners/senior citizens leave, busy moms, professionals etc. Try local kindergartens but probably they may want a criminal background check on you first. If you don't get a call the first week don't despair make some more the following week repeat the same after a while at least a call will come through at some point...or buy the cleaning stuffs when calls start to come in.
Secondly with the spring/summer season kicking in some folks will love to see their gardens blooming with flowers, grass trimmed, hedges trimmed if they have some. If you are skilled in those areas from agriculture lessons in primary and secondary, then you can try them. I am sure you can rent a grass trimmer locally if you can't afford a second hand one. This jobs kept me busy during summer seasons as a student. Do some more research if interested as this will surely keep you off the sofa. I can confidently say I saw a friend of mine start by cleaning just one house and later on going to owning a cleaning company with 10 staffs with his own cleaning vans. It was not easy but they finally got there....Check if your earnings are taxable by your state..I think if you earned less than .....you might not have to pay tax but confirm. Once you get your day job remember to close down..... the company just let them know it is inactive.
Hope this may work out for someone here...

Reference
Glad to hear that!!! Now once you settle in USA. Identify a local church you will be a member of. Speak to the Pastor/rev. about you volunteering as a part time cleaner and using the church as a reference of you cleaning services. This will be part of your reference point if you encounter someone who may want a reference of your work. Or the one question do you have a cleaning experience??? you can refer to your church....one thing I discovered was working in the house of God comes with its own blessings!!!! Or alternatively you can volunteer with one of the many local charity organizations as a part time cleaner who can be your reference point.....hope it works out for you it did work out for me!!!! all the best....buddy

Beth all the best, glad yu made it safe.
On the driving part I guess I'm squared kidogo with a California driving mobile app. I guess it will help for now.
The app has California's drivers handbook with alot of questions that might be asked...
I'd urge fellow members to download a driving app of their respective state
