Good day to all,
Me and my family (wife and kid), we are coming to America in middle of June.
Our choice is NYC, I know some will say that this is not very smart move to come to NYC because is an expensive city, and perhaps it is better to go somewhere not so expensive to live.
Maybe you're right, but if we were luck to be drawn to the Green Card Lottery, we may well find a way for good life in NYC.
For now the choice fell on the Astoria and Hoblok in NJ, but we are open for more suggestion.
All places are good for immigrants. NYC is a city of immigrants, whether from France, or Japan, or California.
Chose your area according to where you will work, and what you can afford.
This is the best advice. Many immigrants choose neighborhoods where other of their countrymen have chosen to live. But I am not aware of a Serbian neighborhood in New York City. Ukranian in East Village (Manhattan), Russian in Brighton Beach (Brooklyn), Albanian in parts of the Bronx, Polish in Greenpoint (Brooklyn), Greek in Astoria (Queens) -- but Serbian? Never heard of such a neighborhood here, though maybe there is one somewhere that someone else knows about.
So the advice here to find work where you can and an affordable place is sound.

Thanks for advice, but I don't know where I will work, I'm coming from another continent, so is hard to find job when you oversea. So my second solution is to look for area according the schools in NYC. I will not ask "what is best school and good and safety neighborhood". If some one can tell me how big is differences between schools with ratings 6 or 7 vs 9?
Thanks

Don't most Ukranians live in the same neighborhoods as Russians these days?

Some lean towards Russians and others with Serbs. Both Ridgewood and Rego Park have descent sized Ukrainian populations, but culturally they are different.
