Re: Applied for Citizenship!

No idea why the previous responder assumed you were married and filing under the 3-year rule since that was not even mentioned in your post (and your posting history confirms you are divorced), but...

Re: Help with getting home

There is absolutely no reason why the bona fide spouse of a USC would be in this situation. Looking at your post history, you were given ample help and advice from many in here how to move to the US...

Re: Thank you!

Feel somewhat deprived. My “ceremony” was during COVID so it was done individually in a small office with the officer and I standing in individual Perspex boxes like Barbie dolls on a shelf. No...

Re: Do you carry your Green Card with you at all times in US?

Yes, I did when I was a GC holder. Now a US citizen and carry the passport card. My situation was unusual in that I had to surrender my drivers license for medical reasons so my GC was my only...

Re: Moving from London (Essex) to New York City area

If your husband is a USC, have you looked into whether your children are already USCs? This will depend on how long he lived in the US and how old he was. If you’re married to a USC you are unlikely...

Re: Best way to return to the US?

I hope you haven’t been working here also. You mentioned working freelance as you traveled around Europe but then you came here. How are you financing your stay here?

Re: Wedding insurance - US Residents, UK Wedding

Are you British or Irish citizens? If not, you’ll need a visa to marry in the UK and the process is time-consuming. If you are working with a wedding planner, they should be able to provide a quote...

Re: Nationality

Strictly speaking, very strictly speaking, in this country you are always a US citizen as the US doesn’t officially recognize dual citizenship.

Re: Healthcare in the USA - Houston

As others have said, it’s not all doom and gloom with healthcare here. The costs can (usually) not be avoided but I do find that overall it’s better value for money. Having been very, very sick here...

Re: May be moving to Houston - Few Questions

That’s the point we are making. Gas, chain restaurant/fast-food and hotels are about the only things that are cheaper here than the UK. Trust us. We live here and we’ve lived in the UK. Many of us...

Re: Dual US UK citizen entering US on expired passport?

Re: Dual US UK citizen entering US on expired passport?

It did happen, though. Many people who travelled overseas by air in the last two years were denied entry (albeit temporarily) because they tested positive for COVID before their return. A co-worker...

Re: Immigration advice

It would be somewhat of a red flag to me that the company has never been through this process before and is so clueless about it. Obviously someone has to be first but it sounds like they are not...

Re: Car insurance in California

Have you set the wheels in motion (pun intended) to get your CA licenses? Strictly speaking, you only have 10 days from the date you move to CA to get a license. In practice in the larger cities...

Re: Moving to USA (Florida) from UK - Very new to this

If you’re coming on a H-1B visa I probably wouldn’t sell the house in the UK. Might be better to rent it and then you’ve got somewhere to go back to should the company either release you (research...

Re: Moving from UK to LA - should we go for it?

I wouldn’t give up life in the UK for $90k for 2 anywhere in the US, least of all the west coast. Are there people here on that kind of money? Absolutely. Some are on even less. A couple making...

Re: Who Will Rent To K1 Couple Moving to USA from UK?

I second the previous poster about the CR-1. Why would you put yourself in a situation where you are in limbo for so long? The K-1 is ideal for people who can’t be together without it. You’re already...

Re: Confused re visa/work

So it could be that they are also thinking of the E-1 route or it could also be that they have made an assumption that you already qualify to work here through some other means, for example you have...

Re: UKparanurse's questions about nursing in Florida

Do you all have visas that allow you to stay for 6 months? Or are you USCs? I don’t think that has been answered yet.

If you are planning to come as tourists for 6 months (let’s assume you have...
