Bad English is no impediment to living in L.A. Good Spanish might come in handy though.

Please don't tell us how you intend to earn an income. We have plenty of waifs who do "that." They are usually paid in drugs.
it looks to me he is asking for sugestions.

that meens that he asks how to enter. not how to avoid immigration.

Why move from Russia to the US if you're just going to move to a Russian neighborhood?

Honestly, I haven't yet met a Russian I like. The words racists and bigots come to mind.

Sorry, but that's been my experience. Hopefully you can prove otherwise.

umm Lol Racist and bigots are the same thing

Though Not in terms of skin color so much (Though there is some hostility) But in culture mostly.

Not going to lie, lots of older russians are pretty racist.

Stay home. If you cannot come here and contribute to America with your talent, work or education, Moderator cut: rude

Not necessarily older. I work with a girl in her late 30s. She's been in the US for over 10 years now. I dated her for a few months, until she started saying things like the Santa Monica Pier is too ethnic for her. I also loved when a Russian friend of hers was offended that a "black" guy at Target helped them with their Christmas tree. I honestly couldn't believe my ears.

I know that doesn't speak for all Russians, but unfortunately I just haven't had a good experience so far.

Let's keep on topic here, folks, which is (I think) advising a 16 year old Russian on how to come to the U.S.

Thanks.
