Re: Should I sell my house/ISAs/kitchen sink etc. before moving to the US

Re: Should I sell my house/ISAs/kitchen sink etc. before moving to the US

Hmm so if I sold my primary residence in the UK say 1 year after I moved to the US I'd have to pay CGT if I filed jointly on anything over $500K. I assume that they would treat my UK home the same as...

Re: Should I sell my house/ISAs/kitchen sink etc. before moving to the US

Re: Should I sell my house/ISAs/kitchen sink etc. before moving to the US

Re: Prep for migration to US and possible I864 issues?

Hi

Re: Prep for migration to US and possible I864 issues?

Thanks, I've just told her that and she's none too happy with more forms to fill out so guess I'll be helping!
