If you K1, get SSN before you get married, it's quicker. Shipping, if your paying, sell everything unless you've got quality furniture etc as it'll be more expensive and hassle to bother ship it...small things like books you could slow boat via royal mail and that's pretty cheap, takes 10 weeks or more though. |

I transfer money every 12 mths to my UK bank account...enough to cover insurance policies, NHS contributions, purchases when I'm in the UK etc.
So am I still covered by the NHS if I visit back home and need medical assistance? |
