When I moved, I found it really useful to break down big stuff into smaller pieces when I could. Like with furniture, taking it apart can save you a ton of stress. Don't forget to use dollies and moving straps for the heavy stuff. And for the really big items, hiring movers can save your back and time.

I recently read about moving to the USA and how expensive it can be. Even though it's not exactly your situation, it gave me an idea of how costs can pile up fast. Things like transportation, packing materials, and taking time off work for moving day can sneak up on you. Just like with heavy items, getting help can save you from messing things up or getting hurt.

We know Usd is hard to get and banks not transferring so crypto may be your next answer.
Set up a binance account and start buying usdt or other stable coins which is almost 1:1 usd. I don’t think ccards still doing it but u can check. There are a lot of post and guys on FB selling usdt but it’s expensive almost 8:1

Then if you have family or friends in the states with social security ask them to set up a coinbase account.

With coinbase you can transfer your usdt from binance to coinbase. Then when the receive which is a couple minutes they can cash out to usd directly to a bank account.
If u have a us bank account they can cash out to your account or transfer from theirs to ur account and you got ur usd.
I visited the states just as boarders opened, Miami and the banks implemented another KYC so it’s difficult to walk in and open an account now but there are legit ways around it , if u are really migrating like getting ur name under a lease or utility.
Good luck and keep this post updated
Next step is generating income so u can maintain living in the us.

Did you get out?

Buying a house in the U.S. is pretty straightforward if you have the financing sorted out. The big challenge seems to be getting the USD, which can be tricky depending on where you're banking. If you don't already have an account in the U.S., it's worth looking into options to transfer funds legally, though it may come at a premium. Also, keep in mind that buying real estate there comes with extra costs like property taxes, liens, and maintenance fees.

One thing to watch out for is the taxes for buying a new house. Depending on how the property is classified, tax strategies like cost segregation can help reduce overall tax burdens, especially for investment properties.

If you use your family and friends to bounce money around for you their bank or IRS might trigger anti money laundering mechanisms. And they will have to explain what’s going on.

And they may not be willing to take the risk involved in explaining to the authorities, especially to the IRS, because of the possibility that their explanation may trigger an audit by the IRS.
And that ain't no fun for nobody
