hello!!
Hi all,
December 1st I will be moving from Manchester to Michigan for 6 months due to my job - possibly will turn out to be a permanent move.
Feeling rather unprepared!!!

Re: hello!!
Welcome to BE!
Unusual to be going for such a short time, normally a company won't go through all the hassle and cost of your visa for only 6 months? So I wouldn't be surprised if you did end up staying longer just so they get their money's worth!
Head on over to the US forums and you'll soon feel more prepared, there are loads of helpful folks there. The Wiki is great too, great articles on things like relocation packages etc.
Best of luck with it.

Re: hello!!
Is it just you moving, or do you have a family as well? Sounds like a great adventure.

Re: hello!!
And yes, much easier if it's just you!
I'm sure you have loads of questions about it all, the good folks of the US forums will be very happy to help I'm sure.
Best of luck with the move.
