        Hello and welcome to Expat Coffee Break, a show dedicated to sharing personal experiences of immigrants and telling their stories of what it's like to move to a new country.

        In today´s environment, there is a lot of discussion regarding immigration to the United States, whether it´s documented or undocumented immigration, a lot of what has been spoken has left the voices of immigrants themselves unheard.

        In this episode I will share the second part of my story, where I talk about moving in and how were the first few weeks while getting our identification documents and driver´s license.

        With my story, I hope to assist in making a more educated decision to whoever is interested in immigrating with a Professional Visa applying for an international job, by sharing the experiences that you don´t usually know about until you are in it.

        Stay tuned after the story to hear about Immigration Talks on the Internet, where I talk about interesting posts online from other immigrants.

        The Expat Coffee Break conversation is open to anyone that wants to share their story and contribute to illustrate a topic that tends to be generalized or ignored.

        Whether you are considering immigrating to the United States and want to learn more, or if you are already an American citizen looking to understand the immigrant experience, this podcast is for you.
