Came to US more than a year now and still having really hard time adjust myself. the main problem is lack of socialization. don't have any close friends so it's difficult to spend days alone on the weekends and holidays. my usual activities are going to gym, watch movies and attend IT discussion group few times a month. i work alone most of the time and there is not much interaction with other employees. try to go to masjid but it's usually dominated by particular race and it's not easy to communicate with them.

any suggession or advise on how to be more social and activities that i can join to.

thanks.

If you have the time, sign up for some further education. anything: uni, courses, language workshops, you name it.
The best time to meet people, get to know the place and have fun is while learning. hope it helps!
 
Its easy to make friends! Just be yourself. You said you go to the gym, thats a great place to meet people who are interested in the same thing you are! Just talk to the person next to you while working out. Or you could go to the local Pub and sit at the bar and meet people there. Join a community group or community service center.
