yay got accepted for my immigration to the US

Good luck mate, living just up the road (Preston) I know what you mean about the area :D

Proper jealous, I'd love to make the move but I have a good job, great family and just generally too much to leave behind.

Just looked up the area you're moving to, hope you enjoy it and hopefully will be following one day :)
 
Had a look around the area on Google maps, looks really nice. The towns/area in the area and their British names made me laugh.

Epping, Kensington, Exeter, Salisbury, Ipswich, Essex, Hampstead, Londonderry, Reading, North Chelmsford, Durham, Dover, Newmarket, West Nottingham, Portsmouth, York Harbour, Pembroke, Canterbury, Andover, Sutton, Bradford, Newbury, Windsor, Dublin, Peterborough, Chester,

etc etc etc.

Can't get away from it :p
 
Yup that's the East Coast for you :p They weren't very imaginative when coming up with place names :p
 
Congratulations, wish it was easier to get into America.
Was having a look at land prices yesterday and dreaming of a few acres next to a lake, with dirt bike trails. why do I look at such things :(. America is so cheap for land and plenty of space to enjoy.

I'm not interested in moving to the US, but here's a hypothetical situation.

I sell my place and my girlfriend sells her flat, we can buy that land cash, put up a humongous house and still have around 200k US left. It never ceases to amaze me how lucky the Americans got it with regards to open spaces and land.
 
yep it's insane I found a 5acre plot, 2miles from a lake. with fishing, hunting, dirt biking and qaud biking tracks all there. And about teh same mileage to the centre of a village. For $15k, I'm sure you can build a house for dirt cheap as well over there. I like the UK, it just has a lack of space and hardly anywhere left where you can take vehicles of the road legally.
 
thanks guys

well we started the process just after we married in 2007, but we kinda took our time with it, as my wife was in the process of moving here. She used to work in the National visa Centre in Portsmouth, NH. So she knew all about the visa's and what was involved.

Since you get a year to reply to each section of the process, we just dragged it out for 2 and a half years, while living over here. we restarted everything in oct when my wife moved back to the US and finally finished this week.
 
Congrats, you are now $118,000 in debt. Hopefully you are moving into a good job

This is not always standard. My wife gets plenty of time off, just depends what type of company you work for and the people that own it :)

Congrats and welcome over, you will soon start missing English stuff :( but you'll have a blast getting to know the ways of living in the US.
 
Wait... Am I not able to just emigrate out to America? Do I have to be married to an American? Time to Google methinks!

Cool website. Anyone know of an equivalent for Canada?

Nope. You need a visa, and in the US they are very hard to come by. I am in the middle of applying for a permanent residency visa for Canada which is easier than the US, but still pretty hard and a long drawn out process.
