Early 30's MBA, who can't string a sentence together and relies on this website to figure out local cost of living for a professional intra-company transfer. I'd have thought the kids had gone back to school by now...... Also, after having come here for years I completely get where the members of this forum are coming from when they require anyone asking these questions to define the exact visa they posses before beginning discussions around living in the US. I also agree that Orlando is the obvious choice for people with pointless questions. Given these good reasons for wanting the visa question cleared up, I have no idea why the OP is being so cagey. It's a straightforward question. |

Just an observation. If the company is big in Europe and Big in the UK then it is likely to have significant facilities to help you relocate. Mine did. If it doesn't offer relocation support it is not big and your first hurdle is doing a lot of this for yourself.
If doing it for yourself get professional help. |

By the way, if it is an L-1 visa, then your spouse (not partner) will be able to get an EAD allowing him/her to work in the USA. Rene |

If the process is beginning in February, I assume it's an L-1 visa (because an H-1B visa process wouldn't begin until April). But (and sorry for saying this), I do find it kind of odd that you know "the process" begins in about 3 weeks....but you have no idea what "the process" is for. ....

I suspect that it is only "odd" from your/our perspective because you/we know how involved the process is, whereas most people think that you provide your name and address, the name of the company you'll be working for, and ..... Bob's your uncle, you get a visa! :thumbsup:
I think I have completely misunderstood what an MBA programme involves. |

Also depending on the state, makes it much harder to get a drivers license, which I think might be the case for Florida. Not being married also might not be eligible to get on your medical insurance. B2 is really a pretty shit existence. No independence definitely brings up home sickness and doesn't help with settling down in a foreign country. |

Re: Moving to Orlando FL Help!
Seems to me these forums are all about keeping the 'club' exclusive. I dont often venture here unless Im really bored as the negativity is draining. Also seems any posts offering local support clubs (not advertising we are not selling anything) are deleted by the admins here. For those of you who do find your way Stateside please rest assured the majority of us expats are welcoming inclusive and supportive.
have a nice day everyone |
