Can someone help me? (New York, Ridge: apartment, to rent, credit)

[robicos]

We are a family of Romanians who live in Milan, Italy for 5 years.
We got immigration visa and we get to New York on June 24.
I found the job for my wife since the date of June 25 in Queens, a family of Italians but we cannot rent an apartment.
We are not talking very well English.
Nobody wants me because we rented Credit History (I have never lived until now in U.S.)
Can someone help me?
Thanks very much!
My e-mail address is robicos@yahoo.com

You're going to have to find other Romanians who will understand your situation and help you find a rental. I'm not sure where the Romanian communities are in Queens, but maybe your wife's employer can help.

Here is the website for Romania's consulate in New York City. You should write them an email or give them a call.

Do you speak Italian well? I might have some friends who can help you out if you do.

Thanks for answers.
There Romanian community in Queens but did not know anybody. My wife has already found a job since June 25 from a family of Italians. I reserved the room at the hotel since June 24 but can not stay at the hotel very much. I need to rent an apartment or a room in which we all three sit on a short period.
We speak Italian.

Your wife's employer should definitely give her a letter that she is employed as that is needed to rent an apt.
Perhaps contact Italian as Romanian community organizations in NY and see if they can help you.
