Keeping US Bank account after leaving

Hey All. So I know from reading here that you can keep a UK bank account open pretty much indefinitely as long as you keep a balance in it. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to do the same with...

US Tax accountant

Can anyone please recommend an accountant for US tax returns? The main challenge I'm facing is how to treat my wife's UK limited company. It's ceased trading at this point but is likely to have a few...

Re: Shipping - London to NYC

I bought a 55" 4k Vizio TV from Wal-Mart for $350 last month. It was a factory refurb but looks like new and has a great quality picture.

Bringing your TV over isn't really worth the hassle as...

Re: Playing the Constitution card.

Which is all very nice but even the Paris Accords are a drop in the bucket of what really needs to be done to prevent the inevitable catastrophic warming that is likely to arrive this century. A lot...

Re: Playing the Constitution card.

Oh I agree and am aware of the facts but I was talking micro level. Just on the balance of probabilities, there are likely many streets/neighborhoods where violence has increased even while the vast...

Re: Playing the Constitution card.

I can't say I disagree with the basis of your views here but the actual outcome of your worries are rather nebulous at this point. I guess we'll see how it all plays out in the coming years but based...

Re: Playing the Constitution card.

Fair enough, I'm sure there are plenty of places where crime has increased even in the face of an overall decrease.

Your personal experience not withstanding, this article on the subject in...

Re: Playing the Constitution card.

Obviously geography matters but what do you and your family base your analysis on? Is it a subjective feeling or an objective look at the facts?

Personally New York City feels a hell of a lot...

There's nothing particularly dangerous about current times; it can just feel that way due to the 24 hour news cycle/internet throwing every little bit of negative news at us all day. The US is...

Re: How to Build / Transfer Credit History / Score

Personally I had no problem getting a credit card a few weeks after getting here but I appear to be the exception rather than the rule. I do have a chunk of cash in the bank so that probably helped,...

Re: Cellular contracts

Think 3 just cut your service off after a couple of months - I don't believe they start charging for roaming - they notify you of it either way. I signed up for AT&T GoPhone: $40 a month inc taxes...

Re: The reality of government controlled healthcare.

Exactly. Just because there are no private options available locally that doesn't suggest politics are involved. I know in New Zealand where I grew up it wasn't unusual for people to have to travel...

Re: The reality of government controlled healthcare.

Not sure what your point is? With government provided healthcare, you still have the option to go private as demonstrated by your article. If the government don't provide healthcare you have to pay...

Re: Transferring money from UK to USA

I can recommend CurrencyFair as another option, though it doesn't look like they do USD to USD either I'm afraid. I've used them to move currency around numerous times now. It took less than 2 days...

Do you really think that will happen though? I get the feeling many Trump voters are more worried about protecting their privilege than direct social welfare. They want the welfare they receive to be...

Re: Best Airlines ??

I'd recommend Singapore Airlines as well. Cathay Pacific I didn't find too bad but then I had an exit row seat. Both of them have only a single stop-over and shorter flight lengths, unlike a lot of...
