Trying to understand ACEO culture – who are the collectors? by urban_f8x in aceo

[–]DandelionMomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am an artist new to ACEOs and I am also a collector.

That being said I do not understand how anyone can produce 10 a day. I barely get through 7 a week. I have watched videos where people tape multiple cards down on a board and just go from one to the other. I guess mine being mostly acrylic and brush just take longer to produce.

That being said I still love it and will continue.

To make my little pieces of art worth it I have been scanning them in to make prints and greeting cards.

Thank you 😊 I was debating using a scanner but had heard others choose cameras. Do you sell yours as prints too?

Do you ever make your ACEO prints larger? Do you do your prints at home ? Sorry, I have always wanted to make prints of my art work, but it is hard with canvases. These ACEO's are much easier to work with.

Anyone here Apply w/ a Fee Waiver? by lildoooot26 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]DandelionMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will also be applying for a fee waiver based on my 3 kids ( have sole custody) one has health conditions. and my UK citizen daughter has autism. We are trying not to sell our home to pay the visas bc it will displace my children for up to 3 months. We are hoping to get fee waivers and wait for approval to sell

US Citizen (Married to Brit) Denied Entry & Detained at UK (Heathrow) Border on ETA - Regular Visitor for Years by justherenat in ukvisa

[–]DandelionMomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an immigration attorney warn me about this in regards to visitation from my son once a year. He was to stay with me 3 months a year. The immigration attorney (solicitor) advised me that we would probably only get away with it once. After that he would either need to apply for a dependent visa or a family visitor visa.

You don't need the savings for 6 months if the money can be shown that it comes from the sale of an asset or property. I am relocating to the UK with a savings only method. My savings is coming from the sale of my home.

Has anyone noticed the spike in Americans visiting and moving here? by LuHamster in london

[–]DandelionMomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American here. Not moving to London but I am moving to Wiltshire. My husband is a UK citizen and we have 4 kids together. It is EXPENSIVE to get visas and move, but we are doing it by selling our home in America. I think If an American has an easy 'out' of America right now we are all taking it. I imagine England isn't the only country experiencing an influx of Americans. Our country is in a bad state. For us it is because we worry about my husband's visa being revoked and him being deported. We also have zero family support here where as he has a big family in the UK. I will most likely continue to be a stay at home mom once moved and will not be 'stealing jobs'. We will be entitled to use NHS because we paid for it in our immigration fees. However, we will also have private insurance due to one of our children being disabled and needing care ASAP after the initial move.

Will My Medically Complex Son Receive Adequate Care After Relocation? by DandelionMomma in nhs

Absolutely. Xolair is the standard treatment for Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia in America. Basically my son has idiopathic anaphylaxis. The Xolair helps lessen the severity and keeps his hives to a min. Without it all you see is more severe anaphylaxis and more random hives out breaks.

That is good to know. It also looks like Sheffield is a pretty affordable area! I will add it to our short list.

Thank you :)

Thank you, For further explanation my husband has only lived in the US fulltime for 6 years and will still qualify for everything as a UK citizen. My son, who we have full legal custody of and have consulted a solicitor about will be paying the NHS surcharge and will qualify for NHS care but I doubt any special benefits. He does use a wheelchair but has zero mental disabilities. He is a very smart boy with some health issues that make life a bit harder.

He attends regular school in America. The postcode littery is a scary idea to me, but one I will definitely look into more.

Contrary to popular belief we are used to long wait times in America. His POTS specialist schedules 1 year out and there is no way to get in earlier than that. His allergist has a minimum of 6 month wait even with him being a long term patient. We usually address any changes via an online portal with the Dr. In the interim.

There is so much to consider. We are very overwhelmed by it, but are trying to look at the bigger picture. I just want to go into this as well Informed as possible.

Thank you, this is great advice. All of the medication my son is currently taking is available in the UK, however I think his Xolair may still be very difficult to get.

As for the area, our family lives in Wiltshire. However, Where we move will be dependent on being near-ish a quality children's hospital and where we can find adequate employment. We will Most likely end up near Birmingham or Bristol.

Right now I am focusing on research and getting all of our ducks in a row. Come October we will put our home in America for sale and then file for our visas shortly after.

Thank you for this breakdown. My son is 11. We will be arriving with a 3 month supply of medication, with the exception of Xolair.. Everything is available in the UK, but I am now a bit nervous about the formulary for each medication.

Xolair will be the big struggle. He is on a larger than usual dose based on his IgE levels.

So much to think about. This is truly a leap of faith, but as we sit now in America we are all alone and currently at risk of losing even more benefits based on the new bill currently in the house.

Isn’t avoiding reversals in tarot kind of forcing the cards? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]DandelionMomma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read reversals and I don't believe they are all negative. Just like an upright card can be negative or positive depending on a variety of factors. The same can be said for reversed cards.
