Re: US Equivalency License

Although I was told I'd have to surrender my UK license, I think they just forgot about it in the end which I was very pleased about, and I still have it. As it is one of the old, paper licenses it...

Re: US Equivalency License

There seemed to be a different and simpler procedure if you were already in possession of a valid driving license from anywhere than if you didn't. It was one of the first questions I was asked - did...

Re: US Equivalency License

Ahh, but the danger in the quiet(er) offices is they are not used to dealing with a driving license from another country. My UK license (one of the old, paper kind even though this was 2014) was...

Re: Cat Relocation

Hi there KK, I don't know if I've missed this somewhere in this thread, but as your final destination is Harrisburg, why not fly Ted into Philadelphia which would reduce the car journey on the other...

Re: US banks and FATCA reporting
