Hi all,

 

Anyone from the UK recently get approved and made the move to the US? My fiance finally had his interview today at the embassy in London and got approved (an entire year after submitting our petition!) and now we are trying to think of everything he needs to wrap up in the next few weeks before he comes here. We are so excited to finally be together and just want to make sure we don't miss anything! Does he need to inform the government that he is leaving? Is there a checklist floating out there that people have put together as they were preparing to leave the UK? Any tips, advice, and/or suggestions are appreciated!

Top bar of this page has a "portals" tab. There it will take you to the UK specific forum where you can see other members going through the UK, as well as other members near your local area,  and other country specific threads. Also search bar top right corner of the page can search for things like "Moving from the UK" or such and find threads relating to that.

There is a really good blog that a VJ member created who was going through the process at the same time I was. One of the posts was a checklist of all the things you need to do before leaving the UK. The blog post is almost 2 years old now but should still be relevant to your fiance.
