Right so I have to share with my fellow UK'ers, because I am so darn happy about this last couple of days as well as what next week brings.

So we officially have the visa now, which is the best news without it the other things couldn't happen. Tim will be home next Friday night 8 days, 14 hours and 24 minutes from now, but who is counting? He also got the details of his contract from his current employer, so he can continue to work from HOME once he arrives in the states. The contract is only for 10 weeks to start, but he has been given many positives that it might continue or he will get a whole different one. The best part is that he will be making nearly double what he is now, which will help us make a fresh start here in the states, all of these months (nearly years) has really put a strain on us financially and it will be nice to finally once again be able to save something. With this job he will also be required to fly back to the UK, which will give him the opportunity to see his children through our adjustment phase at someone elses expense! Needless to say we are very happy! kicking.gif

Excellent news!!!!!
Signed in to see where your case was at and so am very happy to hear everything is working out ok in the end. Is Tim planning coming through JFK to get a temporary work permit or does he not need one or maybe he has one already? asking as I am in a similar situation where work in UK will continue to pay me to work 'from home' until Jan. I booked my flight in through JFK to get a temporary work permit.
Best wishes!!!!!!

rose.gif Thanks! We have the CR-1, which entitles him to work from the start and with it being his UK employer he wont need the ssn or green card so no worries waiting for that to arrive. Know you are happy about that, it buys us time to find something here for him if they don't keep him on just knowing he will not be unemployed is a blessing in itself.

Hi Ya Lady !!!

Glad to see all is going well at last.
Graham got his SS # today when we got back from our holiday (which was great) but we got a letter from DHS that states that his I-89 (biometrics) never got to Texas. mad.gif
Someone dropped the ball there...
So, next week he has to go dowtown and get another set taken-no big deal, but another pain in the a** to sort out.

Hopefully he will find work soon, and we'll be sittin' pretty !
Good to hear Tim's can work from home and visit the kids ! Awesome !

How was your holiday? I am sure you had a great time!

Sheesh on the Biometrics! Seems typical with the f*** ups coming out of London lately. Tim was reading the cover page on his MBE and they have a number transposed on my zip code, going to have to get that sorted out otherwise he wont get a green card or ssn either! Strange it is correct on everything but this one final piece of paper. mad.gif Won't you just be happy when you don't have to deal with any of this anymore?

Glad to see you back!
