Hi guys!

How is everybody? I'm new to the forum and was wondering if anyone here has married a US citizen? I'm in the UK and was hoping some people on here have already gone through this process? its seems daunting to me and so important that everything goes through correctly and properly. terrified at forgetting something or getting something wrong!!

It's kinda like AA - my name is Richard I married a US citizen. Whaddya want to know ?

Things I can tell you.

1) Unless your situation is unusual - you don't need a lawyer - it's not that hard. I did it...

2) You will ask questions that have been asked many times before - we all did

3) People will be a little more gentle with you if you do a bit of reading first - the guides are very useful but it's worth double checking to make sure that things haven't changed.

4) The process will stretch out into the distance and things won't happen for a long time and then the next thing you'll be rushing to get everything done and hey ho you'll be here

5) You *will*take too much stuff to the Embassy when you finally go for your interview despite us all telling us you won't need it (we all did)

6) You've come to right place.

*Do* start a timeline - it's easier for us and the site can tell you more about the process if you do.

Best of luck on your journey.

Richard
