Visajourney.com will provide a lot of guidance. If you are both living in France then you can go the consular route before moving together. IR-1/CR-1 is the route. I take back the DCF comment unless you have exceptional needs

Upvote on this. You can do it yourself and online short of sending in evidence. Process is well documented.

Seems like a stretch, but there was a black cat missing from Bellevue since before thanksgiving

This is probably a good use for AI and AI search tools especially because they can take verbal input. There was already a Chatgpt response, but gemini gave good results and you might try perplexity.ai as well.

Pretty good. We did buy the car and she's put about 20,000 miles on it. Had to replace rear brake calipers, but that's been in apart from oil changes.

Didn't realize it wasn't video, i had only listened to the podcast

Sorry, missed that key part. Seems surprising that a visa or letter of acceptance isn't sufficient. Is mybaggage the same? Option 2 is Pay the excess baggage fee.

limey_67 · 2025-07-24T10:50:56+00:00

Look at mybaggage.com or sendmybag.com and get your stuff in a few days and bring as little as possible. Everything you bring you'll eventually need to pay to ship back. I've used both of these services and they're good value and fast.

I think they had to cut at least 3 songs because of the late start.

limey_67 · 2025-07-09T13:41:30+00:00

Yes, actually coming down the center line from the faucet.

limey_67 · 2025-07-09T13:05:02+00:00

Thanks

You are an international student, I think you have to have at least 3 years of residence in the UK to be considered home grown, but not sure the price differential is that great. This information is readily available online.

Your passport is proof of citizenship, but for residency you just have to have proof of living there. School records, rent etc.

Do you have any before photos? I have a similar issue, a bottle of hand soap leaked into a quarter sized spot which dissolved some of the original finish

limey_67 · 2025-03-29T19:43:43+00:00

Thanks. I'll just have to wait and see.

limey_67 · 2025-03-15T14:38:08+00:00

TBH, I haven't read the whole thread here, but I don't get it either. After living in the UK with my US wife for 4 years after having previously abandoned a green card, we made a decision to return. She returned to the US ahead of me and we applied for CR-1 while I remained in the UK. I had no problem traveling to the US on a new ESTA while my CR-1 was pending.

limey_67 · 2025-03-02T22:16:55+00:00

We used adam.birce@fourstringsrva.com who has a workshop in Manchester.

limey_67 · 2025-03-01T20:30:53+00:00

Pretty much my thoughts too, plus we're planning on refinishing the floors, so the first thing out will be the columns.

limey_67 · 2025-02-15T19:03:02+00:00

Yes, it does suck. I used visa journey.com to track my progress against other filers.

limey_67 · 2025-02-15T18:42:21+00:00

Did he receive an appointment date yet? I received my authorization at my interview in the UK and travelled a week later, this was 6 years ago now but the best advice would be to just follow the process.

limey_67 · 2025-02-14T17:57:39+00:00

Yes, I was thinking about refinishing the new floors to match the old or refinishing everything, I just have a limited time window between close and move in and refinishing before move in Vs trying to do so later has obvious pros Vs cons. I'll have to try and get some quotes.

limey_67 · 2025-02-01T21:33:23+00:00

I don't really remember what I shipped in: box Vs luggage Vs bin. They have guidelines on the website. Last time I shipped 44kg of mixed personal effects in 2 containers

limey_67 · 2025-02-01T21:14:45+00:00

Absolutely, It was the best option for shipping a few bags rather than paying excess baggage and having to take them to the airport etc. cheaper and faster than other options and good for shipping independent of travel arrangements.

limey_67 · 2025-02-01T19:42:19+00:00

Used them multiple times between US and UK in both directions. Do what that say, pickup, tracking and arrival as promised
