I say recent as the Govt. headcount reductions may have affected some IRS depts. So....do you get any notification from the Philadelphia office that they have processed the 8802? I did submit the fee via cheque so I can see that it has been cashed, actually one day after they received the completed forms, so very efficient cheque cashing process. ;) Thanks Folks,

Now that it's time to take payments from this, I can see that the annuity can be transferred to another company as a type of exchange.
Are there any issues that would stop such a transfer, particularly as I would be receiving payments while living outside of the States?

A green card is not possible because I have not got a US employer nor the odd $1.8M to invest in a development area.
At present, we have global entry and an esta allowing us to visit up to 90 days per time. When we are in Fl, I hire a car for up to 2 months which is expensive and so we were looking at buying and insuring an old run around car. However, it seems insurance is a hurdle with a premium loading for UK licence holders. Quotes raging from $2000 to $4500 for an annual policy for a 5 year old 1800 cc sedan.
So I was thinking about getting a USA licence by passing the uSA driving test but the advice online is confusing. Can a non USA resident get a US driving licence? How to go about it?
