Do you have any cards at the moment? I moved over from the UK where I had an American Express for a few years - they opened up a card straight away and somehow ported my credit history. Ended up with a $6k credit balance and a 700+ credit score.

Same! Yes you have to have an Amex in your home country for 3 months I think and call up a special department to apply. It was an absolute lifesaver.

Certain large management companies don’t (didnt) require a credit history. We moved straight into the Avalon in downtown Brooklyn with zero credit history and normal upfront.
