Settlement
You survived the first week.
Now it's time to build the systems that make life work.
The immediate emergencies are handled. Month 1 is about building the systems that make life work long-term: school, healthcare, community, and credit. None of these can wait — each delay compounds into bigger problems later.
Month 1 Priorities
In order of urgency
School Enrollment
DVUSD district, ESL programs, enrollment process. Your child won't be alone.
Healthcare System
US healthcare is not NHI. Insurance, appointments, and cost reality.
Mandarin Provider Directory
Mandarin-speaking doctors in Phoenix. They exist, but are limited and mostly not nearby.
Health Insurance Guide
How to choose your TSMC plan. Deductibles, copays, in-network vs out-of-network.
Spouse Community
Your partner needs their own community. Not a luxury — a necessity.
Elderly Parent Setup
If you brought parents: their adjustment is the slowest. Honest trade-offs.
Credit Building
Your Taiwan credit doesn't exist here. Start now for your future mortgage.
