It may seem odd to you guys, but as an outsider I think it's pretty sweet. I'd love to see the ConOff's face on that one when it comes time to explain how they met! LOL

Regardless of which visa route they want to do, meeting in person is a must for sure, anyway. So just get through that part and see how it goes. If they've been talking a year on line, and all is going well, the next logical step is to meet in person and take it from there.

I was embarrassed to be honest, now im embarrassed I wasnt honest!... It's a sweet idea... like i said theyre both lonely...my father needs someone who is as giving as her and she needs someone whos a right prick like my father, but why did it have to be each other! ARG! Anyways....I suppose in a few months time, I will be on here, rehashing some old questions, hopefully not too repetative since it is a different Visa...but *sigh* is it bad that in a very significant way I am hoping that when they meet, they HATE each other???

It won't be a different visa if they decide to do the K-1....

IF they do hit it off i think i will push for them todo te cr1 seems a lot less hassle....sorry on my droid its not as smart as they advertised lol. I am slowly warming up to the idea hubby aside from the fact his mum and my dad...all he can think about is his mum being here and totally stoked shed be here for the grandkids....he cringes at the thought he might actually see his motherkiss my fath3r! Me too tbh! Time will tell.

Wow! That reminds me of the song "I Am My Own Grandpaw"!

You haven't discussed the possibility of him moving there if this takes off. I believe that provisions for non-millionaire oldsters are a lot better in the UK. He'd be covered for medical issues from day 1.

Well, like I'd say to/for anyone else.. they should post and ask their own questions, not rely on you to do their immigration case (if they need one).
But I had a thought.. isn't this the same mom you had problems with before your husband moved?

Would it? Can you get Medicare based on a spouse's record? Or maybe the OP's father is younger and has medical insurance through an employer?

Hi
My sister is a manager at DSS in UK, she told me, UK Gov are looking at stopping pensions going over seas, you will have to be domiciled in uk to collect or at least have a house here.
Its all part of the TAX/bank reforms going on around the world at the moment

Well someone has has to pay for all the asylum seekers!!!

Theyd post but MIL is not that great on a PC, she can use MSN and thats about it.

Father is 59 and working. Plans on retiring at 65 or so. He has a solid job ( where I am his manager! ) so it doesnt look like hed be losing this job unless the company folds ( not forseen ) or if I fire him.

My city has a wonderful community health center where appointments are 10$ and most medications at thier central pharmacy are on a sliding scale fee. We also have community funding for more exspensive medications that are not restricted to US Cits. It has a no discrimination policy and is not Federally funded. I have been using it for 10 years both while insured and not insured. My husband now uses it as well. They have over 20 MD, NP's RN's etc and they can refer you out to specialists, but they treat almost all of the major ailments for young and old alike. They have kept my Uncle who was given 6 months to live right after Katrina hit, alive for the last 5 years.

Yes, you can be covered by Medicare on your spouse's record.

A little more complicated, according to this. If there's more than a three year age difference between the qualifying spouse and the 65 year old spouse, as is the case with the OP, they aren't covered for Medicare part A. Not sure about the drug benefit?

She will be able to claim Medicare when he is 62, if he has contributed for 10 years, and if she is at least 65 and his spouse.

You can also buy into Medicare if aged 65 but you have to be a USC or an LPR for 5 years.

That makes sense, much appreciated for the Info!

what about the dog?...........
