<prompt> Human: I recently moved to US from India. I opened checking account and when I tried to get a credit card it was declined. I am not sure about reason, most probably it must be because I did not have any credit history. How do I build credit history? Is there any other kind of card in market to use as credit card which can be useful to build up credit history?How long doe it take to have a decent credit history?Declination of credit card adversely effect my credit history?I have been using credit cards in India for over 8-9 years.Thanks much!!  <response>: Try to get the Capitalone Newcomers Card: No fee, 1 cash back.If you cant get that, look into secured credit cards.
