Default Who drove along your immigration plans?

Just a thought: I see that there often appears to be/have been just one partner who does most of the work/reasearch for your migration project. Who is/was it in your particular case?

I've done most of the work so far though my OH is just as eager to make the move as I am. It all began with having to study 4 years part time for an IT degree, do all the research and work to jump through the many hoops, the preparation to sell the house, etc. But I think (or hope ) that from here on it's likely to be more of a 50:50 effort. I think I know what sandbags meant when he said he feels worn out from his move back to the UK. It can be exhausting ....and we haven't finished yet

Postscript: But I would be the last to discount the tremendous amount of understanding and support that my OH has provided while I worked on my studies and jumped through the hoops. For example, who would have looked after the children while I was at Uni if it were not for her?

You don't have an option for Other? We didn't do any of it - the immigrations lawyers did it all with us filling in a couple of forms!

I did all the form filling (better handwriting! plus I was the main applicant).
I also did all the research & got a job before we left UK.
However, my OH was very good about the amount of time I wasted, sorry, used wisely, on BE allegedly researching
He did all the cleaning of stuff for the container which personally I consider a fair trade!

Seeing as I was the only one who needed a visa I suppose I should have been doing it. But the missus is into admin so I suppose she was better qualified
