Re: Immunisation Requirements for the Medical Exam

I went to my doctor's office and spoke to a nurse, and provided a copy of my visa requirements.

Re: British holidaymakers arrested for illegally entering the US

How long before Trump says the US is going to build a wall on the Canadian border, and make Canada pay for it? :D

I was amazed to hear that there is no fence or barrier along the border, although...

Re: Petition to Remove Conditions (I-751)

Re: Petition to Remove Conditions (I-751)

I know when my wife and I went to my I-751 interview, the officer said it made a refreshing change to see a straightforward case, which suggests they now see everybody.

He did not want to see our...

Re: New iPhones and Apple Watches, oh my!

I upgraded to an 8 this year. I would've got a later model, except they don't have finger print readers (very useful for opening the device on the lap or table, when I'm too lazy to pick it up. I...

Re: I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence - Initial Interview

And new 10 year Greencard received today.

Surprised they didn't want the old one back. At least it can go in my pile of old driving licenses (UK & USA).

Re: Just wondering do I stand a chance of a visa to US for possible marriage?

I spent a few days in Phoenix AZ last week. I'm never going to complain about the temperature in Florida again!

Re: I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence - Initial Interview

I certainly plan to apply 90 days prior to my anniversary. If the time scale quoted is still true, I might even be able to vote next year.

Re: I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence - Initial Interview

Re: Is it a better life?

As mentioned above, the FL salary should be at least double the UK salary. More if you need to make a large contribution to a healthcare package.

Food is certainly more expensive here over $3 for...

Re: Is It Wrong To Want To 'Look' For An American Girlfriend

Are there any work related conferences you can attend in the USA? That's how I met my wife.
