Re: Leaving the USA with a Green Card

Yes. By far, that is most sensible option to take. There seems no point in rushing the process.

Re: Leaving the USA with a Green Card

Yes - we both signed up for temporary health insurance, covering us for emergencies etc. The maximum duration of this is a year, so we can continue to renew until December.

Re: Leaving the USA with a Green Card

The part in bold there is interesting - my wife lived with me in the UK from 2008 until 2011 on a 'partner' visa. The original ran from 2008 to 2010, and then from 2010 until 2012 we renewed it (at...

Hi all,

I've posted here several times over the last few months since my wife and I relocated to the USA from the UK in December. During these posts, I've commented on our struggle to get settled...

Re: Temporary Internet providers

Thanks. We're in an apartment/condo complex at the moment, where the cable package is already installed/included. I will check the status of this with the management.

Re: moving to USA via QM2

I would check with your vet about the certificate - just to be on the safe side. I can't think of anything else we brought with us, apart from a big supply of his heart medications. That has me...

Re: moving to USA via QM2

We planned it ourselves by researching online. There are a few forums and blogs out there recounting others experiences.

The main recommendation I can give - plan early!

Re: Settling down in the USA - work etc

I'm still looking, but I'm only 6 weeks into being back in DC. I will say though that I'm very pessimistic in general and have already been thinking about going back to the UK :thumbdown:

Re: Settling down in the USA - work etc

Thanks! I'll take a look at these companies. Do you have to pay for the service or do they recoup their fees from the companies who hire them?

Thanks all. I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions.

I will keep digging around for confirmation.
