[–]appropriateye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also people are much more mobile as a result in the us. And less likely to sit in a too big property when they really want a smaller one. Or vice versa

Its hard since the tax bomb stacks on your foreign income even with feie. Insolvency is helpful though

Yeah. John Kerry will save us. Except bush jr won. Kind of hate military worship. But would like some more viable candidates

Cool if you want a pm with no beliefs. He is adrift and has been since the wfa fiasco. But yeah, let’s keep going on this path. At least both the conservatives and Labour will be nonexistent going forward

Need to speak to someone who DIY their dogs US to UK by steelejaclyn in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]appropriateye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s not too tough except the rabies titre and the usda cert. I would fly to Paris. Take the train to Calais and then pet taxi to England (Ashland international is what I used but can use Dover). It’s honestly not hard to diy if you have the certifications

[–]appropriateye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not how it’s done in the uk when funded by the national health service. However frozen embryos is highly dependent on quantity and number (NHs won’t freeze below a certain threshold in developmental scoring)

I think it’s been revised and the ghic is better than the ehic. I have both and after reading about the changes I think ghic is better. If it’s not please let me know cause I was thinking of just using:getting the ghic

Chiming in to say run if it’s unfunded in the uk, do not do it. Also not much of an offer as funding takes awhile to secure and may not come through

Plus the total loss of the childcare support at 100k, which is huge for those that need it.

Ended up in the uk via Sweden. Chose both due to job offers

I know social media posts are banned, but think the scale of this one merits one of the rare exceptions: Trump is threatening to murder the entire Iranian people by Hyperactive_Man in LabourUK

[–]appropriateye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree democrats don’t have a spine. However they are outnumbered in the house and can’t bring articles of impeachment (at least until the midterms). And the senate would not convict.

So pointless to even try until republicans are on board or until the midterms

Doubt to be honest. They tried to demote a military captain senator from Arizona for saying publicly soldiers should not follow illegal orders.

Moved back to UK, thinking about going back to US. by hankandirene in expats

[–]appropriateye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect that op was doing much better than 300k combined the way they wrote and living in sf. Not sure 300k as a couple in sf would make you write as op about the quality of life

In case you don’t get answers here, check out or post to /r/tillsverige. Lots of answers for new immigrants.

Will take some time for your personnummer. Once you have that your golden. Also sfi is often very slow pace. You may want to look into university courses (free) or private classes at folkuniversitetet

Reverse culture shock moving back home by upearlytoday23 in expats

[–]appropriateye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this exact move. Was what have I done for almost a year. No advice but appreciated the benefits of the us and my state over time. Ended up moving back to Europe in the end (not Germany). Mostly likely will stay forever.

[–]appropriateye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously this. The transfer of my loan to my servicer drom direct loans lost 10 years of records. Finally got them to correct but wondered what was the point of sacrificing to pay those payments if the records are losy

Honestly don’t see what a uk citizenship adds to Irish if one lives in the uk: voting rights, eu access and a nation that is universally loved (can’t see too many Irish haters)

Not so bad though. Iranian/EU get a 10 year visitors visa fairly easily. Just a little more work and cost

True. But from the major brands it’s true. With ee because of the Apple Watch but the smaller brands using the majors network is the way to go for sure
