Re: Moving Back to US - Would you do it now?

A lot of food for thought in this thread, but since the OP has a two year old, I’d focus in on the safety, health and security of young children. Measles, just one example. There was a good...

Re: 1st Tax Return - pensions?

Form 8938. You’ll just need to give the name and address of the pension provider, and your membership or account number, if I remember correctly.

Re: Renew UK Passport Payment Options/Shipping

I mailed mine in from the local post office. They give you all the documentation for confirmation, routing number etc. Much easier and more straightforward than using a commercial shipping company.

Re: Old UK passport - keep it?

Yes, I think that’s fair. We all need to keep a weather eye on the US government, and be prepared for unwelcome changes.

Re: Old UK passport - keep it?
