Hello everybody,
I moved to USA 2 years ago. I found it difficlut to rebuild my life in a new place and I think I am not the only one for whom it's not easy. So I created a useful resource for everyone relocationg to USA and specifically, to Chicago, Illinois. It's called "The Legal Alien's Guide. Building a Career and Life in Chicago, Illinois" and it consists of a blog http://legalaliensguide.blogspot.com and a book under the same name. I collected information about non-profit organizations, associations, groups and clubs that help newcomers to find a job, start and grown own business or just find friends.
I hope it helps many expatriates!
