I just noticed your 'location'.. no wonder you want to get out of there right now! Hope all has been OK for you out there.. sunny & almost 60 today here, go figure.

The only thing that concerns me about the future is visiting the US after I have lost my Permanent Resident status. I have great friends over here who I want to visit. I hope that visiting will not be a problem, will it (without my PR status)? The only reason I would get USC is to lock in the fact that I can travel back here for visits without any problems.
It used to be that if you left the US and gave up the GC you still had to file with the IRS for 10 years, but I think they put an income limit on it now and if your net worth is less than $2M they don't make you do it anymore. But if you have any money in the US, like retirement funds in 401ks etc, even if you are in the UK you'll still have to file with the IRS when you start taking income form them.

The really nasty thing is when you are a US citizen living in the UK as you can't take advantage of ISAs or invest in UK based Unit Trusts.

Ohhh! You meant because of the weather!

It's been kind of chilly lately, but I'm a cold weather person so I don't mind. This ice storm business does suck though...
