I have not had the ability to figure out how much it generally costs to move a small one room apartment from Europe to USA. Which way is the best? How much does it cost? And how long does it take to move overseas?
Thank you in advance

You can't move the actual apartment and even if you could it would cost far more than constructing a new house in the USA. You should just move and rent an apartment in the USA.
The cost for an airline ticket to the USA is about $500 if not first class and you can rent an apartment in the USA at a cost of $500 to $2,000 per month depending on the location, size, and desirability.
It takes less than a day to fly to USA. However, you will need a passport and visa and that takes from a week to a couple of months.
Nothing I said implied that in any way form or fashion. You don't move real estate very far and certainly not across and ocean. Move anything you can pack in boxes. You can move a car and furniture but I would not move most cars since selling and buying a used car is easy, probably cost less than the 10% difference between the the buy and sell price, and you avoid the legal hassles. Some furniture you may want to keep and move but for common large used items, if they are inexpensive, it is probably better to sell and replace. Since it is easy to buy used cars and used furniture you should consider that as opposed to keeping and paying the transportation costs.
I suggest contacting an international moving company and get a price on moving your car and furniture. Since it is based on weight, it may cost about $10,000.
Thank you for your reply. It was very helpful!
So what you are saying is that it would be smartest to leave most of the things I own behind?
