Greeting fellow Brits
My name is Ceri. I have lived in the US for 15 years. My husband is in the US Air Force so we travel around often. I have been able to get most of my family to move over as well. Immigrations are long and challenging but it can be done.
Do any of you live in Northern CAL, or are any of you in or married to someone in the Armed Forces?

Has anybody else had a problem getting friends or family over to visit since 9/11 I have a friend living in England that would like to come to California and visit but the paper work and screening she is being asked to go through is nuts!

Anyway, welcome aboard!
And are you actually from Southampton, if you are you're not far from my old neck of the woods.

Anyway, welcome to the forums

We have been in the USAF for 10 years. My husband is a Captain so we will probably retire unless we win the lottery or something.
