(I pay about 1200$ in Oslo.
2.How much to buy an appartment in same size.(Costs about US700.000-800.000$ in Oslo)
3. And if i want to buy can i get a loan in US or do i have to take up a loan in Norway.
4. How is the job market in NY? is it easy to get jobs there as a chef or cook (i am an educated cook).

P.S
And also, im sorry for my bad writing. talk much better then i write.
You may want to talk with a relocation specialist to answer most of your questions. Also check out NYTimes website for jobs/real estate.
Queens is very close to NYC, watch your neighborhoods though!
