Very First Entry
I should have started this diary a wee while ago. To introduce myself, my name is Bruce, 32 years old, currently single. I live in Totton, near Southampton here in the gloomy UK.
For the last ten years that I can recollect, I have wanted to emigrate to another country. You might ask why, I don't have a great deal to keep me in the UK. Too many bad memories for one, the high cost of living another. I had thought of moving to the Costa del Sol in Spain, too near my auntie. She lives on the Costa Blanca and frankly she can stay there.
Where I want to go, is to the USA. Nassau County, Long Island, New York to be precise. It's not going to be easy that much I know. I'm reading books on immigration to the US, living & working in the US and buying or renting in New York. Don't get me wrong I like the reading, I enjoy it. If only I could stop yawning when I'm trying to read this stuff. Need some matches to prop my eyes open with!!
Found this site recently and have to say that its brilliant, so helpful. I've identified the visa that I need to enter the US, there's a lottery every year for it, I've missed this years, there's always next year and the year after.
I do have friends here in the UK, who I will keep in touch with when I leave. There's Facebook, email, instant messaging, phone, letters and I will come back and see them.
I do have a Live Journal account, which I don't use and really should delete. But I will keep it going. I'm going to use this one to document my journey to Long Island. |

Good luck for your intended move!
| They might lift the restriction on British Nationales applying for residency in the next few years as well, you should keep checking with the embassy. |

Best of luck!
I'm in a similar position, just starting the process of moving to Canada. Know what you mean about all the reading and details. Hope you make it.
