Re: Any good removal firms Jacksonville > Asheville?

Cheers for the advice.
I look forward to cold weather and 4 seasons, and just to be out of Jacksonville. No offense to people who like Jacksonville.

Re: BritishGuy36’s moving to America thread

My green card took 8 weeks.
I got 3 welcome letters, which was very welcoming.

You did well BG36 to get your SSN in a week. Mine took well over a month. They did send me 2 cards, which was nice.
