Thanks for info. From what I've read you can exclude any overseas income up to US$130,000 equivalent, which definitely excludes me! Unless I have misread the law?

Thank you very much for your fast reply. That's very useful.

Apologies, but I'm not sure what that means. So is it possible to come in to the US, go through the green formalities at the port of entry, and then fly back to the UK after a week to continue my notice period? In the UK, work notice periods are legally enforceable and are not courtesies, such as in the US, so I would be breaking the law in the UK if I was to just up and leave.

Good afternoon As the subject title explains, I am on a 12 week work notice period in the UK, so once I have had my US embassy interview and I get approval (fingers crossed), rather than wait the 12 week notice period before I enter the US with my new green card, am I able to enter the US and go through the green card formalities whilst I am still working, only to return to the UK a week later to continue my work notice period? I have read in some quarters that this is very much frowned upon and that US border control would find this very odd, but I have also read that this is absolutely fine as long as you're not out of the country for any longer than 12 months. At the point that I was intending to visit the US I would only have circa 8 weeks left to work in the UK, and I would be able to prove that through an e-mail from my employer, but what is the general consensus on this?

Congratulations! Can I just check with you, when you had your document check after your medical and the embassy put your documents into a sealed envelope, did those documents include your passport? Only asking because I travel a lot for work and am due to visit my family in the US between the medical date and interview date, so obviously I won't be able to if my passport is in that envelope.

Good morning Hopefully somebody can assist - I am due to have my medical followed by the document check in a few weeks, but the part I need clarification is it says in the instructions that during your document check the Embassy puts all of your documents into a sealed envelope which cannot be opened until your interview date. Does that include your passport? I'm only asking because I travel regularly for work and need my passport to travel, and also I am due to visit my family in the US between the medical and interview date.
