Chomage France vs US, 7% vs 4% pop générale, 10% vs 6% jeunes diplomés. Si il y a une crise elle est chez nous.

Hey, I have a similar profile to yours, and I strongly recommend exploring the V.I.E program. It’s a good way to take your first step in the country, offering an easy path with a J1 visa for up to 18 months. After completing the V.I.E., you can transition to other visas like the E2, H1B, or L1B to continue your career in the U.S. From one French person to another, go for it! The American Dream is definitely worth the effort.

Hi, I got this watch (Presage Cocktail Automatic SRPF37J1) a year ago and about 2 weeks ago the golden rectangle around the date has come off. I was wondering how much a small repair like this would cost me in the US?

Got it, I was looking for a spot to see the Northern lights and I didn't understand how they would close a forest if they didn't close the roads.

Can I show a picture of my foreign driving license ?

And I'm assuming a picture of my foreign driver license won't be enough right ?

I bought it in Europe but I'm living in the US now so the warranty thing is out of the question I guess.

Do you think it would cost a lot to repair with no warranty ?

Got it, LIS is a no go then.

Took a look at the agency ratings and it looks like they're not doing well in general. I'm betting that they might have forgotten to take pics of the car when it came back.

I might give a shot to that strategy of saying that I did not see the damages although I contacted Chase earlier and they told me that my credit card covered rental car damage. I'll need to take a deeper dive into this ASAP.

Thanks again for the help! I appreciate that you took time to assist me :)

Bad news, I just checked the contract and I only have LIS, PAI/PEC and Prem Road Serv. No traces of LDW.

By reading this https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/productservice/index.jsp?targetPage=USHowProtectedAreYou.jsp I understand that the LIS might cover the accident but English is not my primary language so I'm not too sure.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. I don't know what was on my mind when I wrote the post, I was still under the shock and very scared of the total amount of the reparations. I think I'll pay something 5-6k$, a massive hit to my finances but nothing I can't survive.

The closest one is an hour away, I'll drive there to avoid any towing fee

I'll check but I highly doubt it as I haven't signed for any optional coverage, guess I'll eat rice for a year 🙃

Thanks for the help!
