Re: Complicated VWP, L1-B visa advice...

Thanks for your reply - honestly didn't have a clue. Would have all been a lot easier if I just decided to wait in the UK until visa was complete.

Re: Utilities & Banking set up before moving?

I will attempt to open the Lloyds US bank to start with to tide me over for the first couple of months and then when I start getting paid in the US I will need to set up an American account.

Re: Utilities & Banking set up before moving?

Re: Buying Meat in South Florida!

What is the name of that supermarket?
