Re: Purchasing a house

Good to know that the extra stamp duty can be claimed back. Depending on when I exchange contracts, I might be shy of the 183 days residency requirement. I will ask my conveyance solicitor to clarify...

Re: Relinquishing Green Card

Thanks for this link. It looks like I can’t file this until confirmation of cessation of residency status. Not having a net worth of 2 million seems to be advantageous! I have completed my I407...

Re: Relinquishing Green Card

Thanks. I have found a handy WEP calculator on line. My anticipated social security payments will be just less than 50% of a normal payment, but at least I will still be eligible as a non-us...

Re: Relinquishing Green Card

Thank you. I have followed the link and see that the UK has an agreement with the US, and social security will still be paid. This is a big relief. I have also used the SS website to calculate the...

Re: Relinquishing Green Card

Thanks for this, it confirms what my advisor thought. By the way, I am she, not he, but you would have no way of knowing that! I will give up my green card right away. But will I still have to...

Re: Relinquishing Green Card

Thanks, I appreciate this. I am 99.9% sure I’m staying in the UK. I have divorced my US husband and have no reason to return.

I have returned to the UK after a 30 year stint in the US. A financial advisor asked if I was going to cancel my green card. I hadn’t given this a thought, but research shows me I have to if I am...

Re: Multi currency account advice

Re: Multi currency account advice

Thanks for your advice. I was hoping to close my US accounts so will continue to explore the Wise option. Lloyds international is another good option as I have banked with them for 50+ years!
