Re: Large Shoe Sizes for Men - Where?

Amazon is your friend! :) A fair bit (in fact "most" I'd say, if you can wait 2-3 weeks) of their US inventory is available in the UK, and in fact I bought a size 14 (US) pair of hiking boots from...

Re: Becoming a citizen... how to get a passport in time for Christmas?

I'm glad everything worked out for you, but I'd sooner amputate my right arm with a rusty pair of scissors than pay $800 to an independent business to merely coordinate an application to a government...

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

What I am seeing is that "taking care of everything" is often (but no, not "always") to ensure the happy couple have a quick civil ceremony before leaving for Mexico.

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

Or do they? :unsure:

Many couples opt for a symbolic ceremony in Mexico and get legally married at home (like at a registry office or courthouse) beforehand, to simplify paperwork, as Mexican...

Re: Moving back to the UK from Canada

I can't comment on Canadian taxes, but if you have a job to start in the UK, you can maximise your benefit of the UK's personal tax allowance by returning to the UK ahead of the April 5 tax year end...

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

The questions only you can decide regard [1] your need to work after arrival in the US and [2] your willingness to spend time apart after marrying, which are both personal choices.

I believe that...

Re: Establishing Healthcare/Insurance Costs

One surgery of almost any sort, is pretty much guaranteed to blow through any insurance deductible. I had two minor skin excisions under general anesthetic, and three nights in hospital on a drip, so...

Re: Let's talk about cars

You're definitely showing your age there! :lol: The 250cc limit for a provisional license was halved to 125cc in 1983, right around the time I was old enough for a licence (though I've never held a...

Re: Let's talk about cars

That is a very real concern, but personally, I consider even that to be secondary to the fact that, at least around here, the police (including sheriffs and state troopers), supported by DAs, take...

Re: Moving back to the UK from Canada

For general information - 105cuft is only 3m³, or about 1½ metric fork lift pallets loaded to about 6ft high.

Re: $100,000 Fee on HB-1?

Yes, I was talking about commercial positions, not academic ones, though I suspect that many of the commercial H-1b positions have been a fair way below $100k, but they're the positions that should...

Re: Non UK resident driving your own car

Yes, US insurance absolutely does cover you outside the US, exactly as UK insurance covers you outside the UK. And British car rental companies/ desks know and accept that - you can decline all...

Re: $100,000 Fee on HB-1?

It's a taxi, that's all. Over the five years life of an H1-B visa, that's only $20,000/yr, so not more than 10% of the cost of an employee.

The actual cost of one employee is typically around...

Re: Non UK resident driving your own car

You should check your US insurance as it likely covers you to drive your own vehicle in other countries.

While (I assume) your situation is relatively unusual, that the car is one that you own...

Re: US Citizenship after 18 years?

Re: Pensions

In what sense is he "losing 25c on a dollar"? :confused:
