Hi everyone I have been living here in Savannah, GA for about a week now having entered with a CR1 visa. Is there anyone else on this forum living around here?
I know plenty of people through my wife and having visited here for the past 3 years, also through playing tennis.
I am waiting for my social security number (after visiting the office) which should be available in a few days and... as I understand on pain of death I won't be sharing it with anyone but government officials ..more or less ;-)

I am trying to get another expat to sign my uk voting from abroad forms but am unsure if it will be processed in time for the election.

BTW I filled in the form on the UK government Locate website, https://www.locate.fco.gov.uk/locateportal/ has anyone else used this?

be good to me now everyone I don't bite

YAY! Finally here!! Just in time for the heat wave and the pollen.

Glad you made it- welcome!

Welcome to BE, hope you are enjoying GA, how's the weather? Cindy is the only one I know on here (I think) that is in GA. We will be in Charleston in June, but I guess that doesn't help you much

Melly's here in GA, but up in Hotlanta, which is a WHOLE different world than Slovannah,

There ARE some Charlestonians on here, but don't think they are regular posters.

Oh ok, I didn't know Melly was there, yeah I guess Atl is a little different

Mallory is in Charleston I think, at least I know she is in SC, a couple of others too, but not very vocal

Bob

Rincewind was out there, but he's not appeared on BE in quite a while and I think they moved out to Texas for work.

As for voting, much better off getting a UK proxy voter set up instead of a foreign vote, it most likely won't make it in time, not so much the registering, just them sending out the ballot and you getting it back in time to count.

I sure would love to be on River street right now sipping from a take out frozen beverage from Wet Willies................

they have just opened up one here in Buckhead, but of course no take out cups - what is the point I ask you!!!

Welcome to GA!!

The chocolate frozen thingies there are the best,

sorry everyone.. I didn't subscribe to my own thread and hence didn't see the replies.
I rang the social security office and although they said my social security number should be available after 10 days by now, it isn't. Without it I cannot do much ...except join the USTA (tennis) !!!
