Phone, internet, schools and childcare.
Getting a phone and internet connected
Postpaid phone plans run a credit check — which a newcomer will fail. Prepaid gets you a working US number the same day, with no credit needed.
Schools and childcare in the US
Public school is free and your child has the right to enrol regardless of immigration status. Which school you get is decided by your home address — childcare, on the other hand, is expensive.
