Yep from Wales - Porthcawl - claim to fame the biggest caravan park in Europe I believe, now in sunny California.

It has been a Big Suprise how many replies i have received from members
who are originally from Wales.
Many neighbours of ours in the very south Wales too, looking into moving over to Texas or my Fiance' moves to caerphilly, S. Wales, it has taken 3 years to decide, but Health Insurance has always put me off.
I require Daily medication which is expensive.

ONE QUESTION:

When you were awarded your VISA do you have a certain period of time from the date it was issued to you in which to move over to United States or can you take your time?

I have always been curious if you may only have approx 3 months to move!
What if i had been awarded my VISA and not sold my house at this time?
Sell my house and may be refused my VISA ?

I lived in Splott approx 20 years ago with my girlfriend.
In my opinion it may sound worse than it actual is.
I rather Splott that GRANGETOWN.

I don't know how it is with other visas, but the K1 you have 6 months to use it. There was a point where I was almost screaming at the estate agent "you haven't shown anyone my house in a month, find me someone who will make me an offer!!!!!". A week later I had a cheeky offer, we halved the difference and said done deal. Didn't actually close and get the money until about 3 months after I had left the country.

Hi

This i was not sure of and had a big worry about, asked Visa Agencies the question but never answer the question!
I would be looking for a K1 Fiance' Visa, in which to move to Texas and marry my Fiance'.
As you stated the VISA gives you 6 months to use it and could take a year to sell your property.

Hi cliff, please ask your visa questions in the marriage based immigration forum.
Also remember that it is possible to move without selling one's house.

Sorry can't comment on the visa situation - we came on an L1 company transfer visa so the kids and I had a few trips back and forth over a six month period to see my hubby before we actually moved.

We didn't sell our house immediately - market wasn't moving so we rented for 12 months but that was more hassel that it was worth. Luckily we sold in 2006 before prices took a big tumble.


Good luck - I would say it in Welsh but can't speak a word
