How long did it take you to adjust to your new community after a big move?

If you have ever made a big move, traveling a long distance from your former home to settle in a new country or a new culture and begin a new life there, how long was it before you felt you belonged in your new community? How long did it take you to feel at ease in your new home?

Let’s define a big move arbitrarily as from one country to another, or as more than 1000 miles within the same country. I appreciate that we can see a radical change of cultures and environments within shorter distances inside the U.S., but you still haven’t gone very far if everybody still speaks like you and you can get back home in a couple of days’ driving.
