Just a little update here:

Re: Bank account open date?!

I think I will call them. At the very least, it'll settle the debate between my mother and I. Or at least...it might. She's surprisingly stubborn. :D

Exclamation Bank account open date?!

Alright, so we've filled out the entire FLR application (and boy, is it long!) and we're stumped by one question about the bank account we're using for the savings route: "When was this account...

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

Only Trump! Yes, he is a nightmare. We (at our house) can’t wait until his presidency is ancient history. He’s just awful.

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?

Re: Maybe moving to the Uk

If she moves, then yes, she’ll lose her PR. If she’s met the requirements for citizenship, you might want to get her citizenship before you leave? It’s a personal decision of course, but would save...

Re: Provisional Drivers license - apply in person?

If I’m not mistaken, the rules about having to have someone drive with you on a provisional license in the case of a new resident with a foreign license are relaxed. So actually, she could drive...

Didn’t enclose any receipts, but did put estimated replacement value of each item in pounds, mainly because that’s what we saw other people doing. We scanned passport copies and enclosed the title...

Re: ToR (Transfer of Residence) Timeline Update

Re: Transfer of Residency for British Expat (USA to UK)

Just a heads up: ToR processing times are currently at about 4-5 weeks. If you think you'd like to head back this summer, you'd be well advised to apply as soon as possible. Our goods are heading out...

Oh, now, now... The US isn't exactly a bastion of freedom, culture or peace at this stage, is it. Mindless television, in fact, is an American import. Groomer Wars, cringe-inducing toddler beauty...
