Off to the USA - with luck and keeping everything crossed!
Hi!
We are planning to emigrate to the USA on an E2 visa. Have been reading the forum for a while, lots of help from you all and looking forward to asking random questions as and when they pop into my brain

Re: Off to the USA - with luck and keeping everything crossed!
Welcome and good luck.
You'll find we're a curious bunch and appreciate a two way flow of info. Like blokes down then pub..
What sort of business?
Plan B if business fails?
(I run a business in CA.)
Where you thinking of moving to?
You'll be aware I'm sure that it's a non immigrant visa.

Re: Off to the USA - with luck and keeping everything crossed!
Thanks!
We are buying a vineyard in Missouri so are investing a substantial amount of $$$ into the business. Its a loooong story but we have decided to take the plunge and do it. We have friends who live where we are going so we are lucky in that its like having our own small encyclopedia for the 1000 questions we have!
We dont have a Plan B if it doesnt work, so it HAS to!
I am aware its a non immigrant visa that has to be renewed regularly in order to remain in the USA.

Re: Off to the USA - with luck and keeping everything crossed!
There are over 120 wineries and vineyards in MO some of which have been open since 1880. Whilst they are not in the Napa Valley range of wine, they do well.
Thanks for your concern but I think we'll be OK.

Re: Off to the USA - with luck and keeping everything crossed!
Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.
Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.
Please contact me if I can give you any further help.
