I was under the impression, and have been filing so, that UK citizens resident in the USA aren't eligible for the personal allowance. Only UK citizens living in specific countries could get it. I...

Re: Working in Saudi Arabia and taxes in home country

If you don't have a home in the USA, why would you pay state tax? Couldn't you remotely "relocate" in the USA to a state like Nevada without state income tax?

Re: moving dogs to USA

I'd take the £1200 quote if I was you. I paid £2000 for one dog, but I did do the full service vet check, customs forms, pick up from customs at the airport and deliver to my door. I think without...

Re: What is a UK BTEC diploma worth in the USA?

It'll get you some lower level university credits, as will A levels. So that could cut some time off taking an associates or bachelors degree. As others said you'll have to get it officially assessed...

There's another part to this problem that no one seems to be talking about. Why can US citizens sponsor their parents for immigration? What other Western country allows that? I know in Australia and...

Re: What's your secret tv show obsession?

I love 90 Day Fiance, I hardly watch any tv but I never miss that. Even better than the show itself is the Facebook page, with the bitchiest comments section I've seen in ages.

When I first moved to the US I set up a Wells Fargo account with my green card and social security number. I didn't need any proof of address. They were very nice so I've stuck with them since.

Re: How to obtain medical Records from outside the UK

Don't count on the NHS having your vaccination records, they lost all my medical records prior to 2005. As the others said, you may need more jabs, no big deal, just more money! (as always)

Re: UK to LV confusion

One of my good friends was a teacher in Clark County for years but has now left. There's a reason there's a shortage of teachers in NV and it's not just the wages. Terrible school system to work in.
