Updated Timeline K1 to Adjustment filing UK/US-TSC
For anyone interested in our Timeline from UK to US...
Sorry I have been absent for so long, It is hard living on a small 1 person
Income with 2 children and a Husband. I should be back in the swing of
things here soon and hoping to be able to respond to more questions asked.
Clive is starting a job on Tuesday which will help us out a lot. I have to
say he was great these last months, not being able to work was driving him
crazy. He kept his head (most of the time..lol) but has been a great help
with the children and getting homework done, grades up, supper cooked,house
cleaned and I believe he would rather spend another 4 years in college
before taking House Husband on as a career....lol...For all of the
Non-Working Foreign spouses, just hang in there it will all come together
soon for you...And for All the U.S. Spouses, Keep the spirits up no matter
how hard it gets. Clive was really down not being able to support his new
family so I tried to keep it as low key on the stress side for him as
possible. I figured why make him worry even though I was...there was nothing
he could do about it at the time anyway.
P.S. I already have his first paycheck spent....lol
