Re: General Question on VWP

Re: Getting married to my american fioncee in the next couple of years..

But she's only be in the UK to marry you so as long as she proves she has enough money to pay for her stay I don't think that would be an issue. I also think (but am not 100% sure) that not having...

Re: Getting married to my american fioncee in the next couple of years..

Ok, that's got me worried :(

Re: A minor matter about POE entry but it's been bugging me so I'll ask!

We will actually all be on the VWP as my fiancee is moving to the UK after the wedding.

I went for dinner at Backstreet in Galena with my girlfriend in August (she's from Dubuque, IA) and I heartily recommend it. The town looks really nice and all her family love it there.

Re: Duty rates for an engagement ring
