Louisville KY is supposed to be popular with a lot of people that moved out of Florida, so I'm guessing it's nice. Tennessee is popular too, a lot of people from Florida seem to like it up there too, and there may be no state tax (not sure), so maybe that would be a consideration in location for you too.
TBH I couldn't care less about your visa's, if you have them sorted then good luck to you, whatever you're using is no business of mine.
Good luck with your move

For "curious", read nosey.
Honestly, if everyone that wanted to contribute just answered the bloke's question about location rather than giving him the third degree and getting all wound up about his visa possibilities, things would become less heated.

I've never heard any of them deny the gun crime figures though, or say they'd be chilled out to be in a dodgy area after dark if they weren't carrying. I've made such remarks about gun crime before and people either laughed, or agreed and commented on that's why they carry a gun all the time, so I doubt many in FL would take offence to anyone saying that kind of thing.

It's probably been said already but here's my 5 cents on the matter.

I hope you know exactly which US visa you are eligible for and have certainty that you will be approved for.

Also, you do realize that the US is a recession. Those already in the US without jobs are having more difficulty than ever finding employment and there are many in employment who are discovering their work hours/days are being reduced or worse still are being made redundant.

I hate to paint a gloomy picture of the US but that is the current reality about the country.

Unless you or your spouse have a world class academic background and/or outstanding in your field of employment, then your route to emigrate to the US is very weak at most.

To get a snapshot of the US economy and in particular the job market, just read any US national newspaper online. e.g. New York Times, Washington Post or a current events periodical like Time, Newsweek, etc.

I won't even get into the topic of healthcare in the US. That's another thread entirely.
