Far from home, you deserve people you can trust.
Ellieo exists for one reason: to be the most trustworthy place for international students and professionals building a life in the US.
Our mission
No one starting a life far from home should have to guess who to trust.
The moments we built Ellieo for
Moving abroad takes courage. These are the moments when one honest answer changes everything.
“Just send the deposit first.”
A stranger, a perfect apartment, and a request that feels wrong. On Ellieo, you always know who you're talking to.
2 a.m., refreshing an OPT forum
Timelines buried in group chats and rumors. Here, people who just went through it share every step.
The interview nobody prepared you for
Sponsorship questions, case rounds, salary talk — honest reviews from people who sat in that chair.
The first winter alone
No family nearby, no one who gets it — yet. Find your people, your food and your corner of the city.
Our promise to you
Trust isn't a feature we added. It's the reason Ellieo exists.

Why we care
We build for the person who's doing it alone.
The person reading a lease in a second language. Waiting on a visa decision with their whole future on it. Spending a holiday far from everyone they love.
Every feature has to pass one test: would we trust this ourselves? If the answer isn't an easy yes, it doesn't ship.
Helping you feel safe, informed and a little less alone — that's the work we wake up for.
Ellieo is operated by Misaeng LLC, New York.
