  • MOVING PERMANENTLY FROM UK TO USA | MY STORY
    I moved from Cheltenham, England in the UK to Michigan, the USA permanently to be with the love of my life. After receiving some questions on why and how I moved to America from England I decided to share my story. Please let me know if you have any questions about moving to the United States. It was a long process for me, but I did everything the "right way" from applying for a Fiance Visa, and Green Card, to applying and becoming a United States Citizen. I did it all myself and I would be happy to help!

      @@GOATLAVISH777 Hi. I first emigrated here with my parents in 1983. Only stayed for a few years before returning to the UK. Was actually easier for me to return because the Green Card I was issued with back then had no expiration date, ones issued these days expire after a fixed period. Even after all the years away things like my social security number remains the same! From what I am learning things have tightened up, first following 9/11 and now Covid. Unless you have a very close relative or half a million pounds to invest you will find it difficult to reside here permanently, God knows they are even making it difficult for tourists. Also if you have a criminal record forget it. Canada may be an easier option, but then again with Covid who knows? Good luck to you whatever you decide!

    I moved from the UK (Dorset) to the USA (Indiana) eight years ago, and I love it here. I still get a little homesick, and visiting family and saying goodbye every time is the hardest thing, no matter how many times you do it. I wouldn't change anything though, as the life I get to live out here compared to if I had still been living in the UK is second to none. My quality of life is so much better here in the USA. I have days when I cry because I miss my family and friends, and it's especially hard as I have aging parents (both in their 80s), but weekly Skype sessions help me stay connected to everyone. It's a huge change and takes time to adjust, but it is worth it.

      Peter Shepherd hahah I do miss England! One of those grass is always greener situations, haven’t been able to see my family in the UK for a few years now. In terms of working in the US on a j1 visa, you don’t have to be the best of the best or have degrees. When I worked in the US for a camp, the first year I tried Camp America, and it didn’t work out well for me, I couldn’t find a position. The second year I tried CCUSA, went to a camp fair I think in Cardiff and found a position with a camp almost right away. I would look up camps that are attending before you go and see what they are looking for so you can appeal to their needs, be OUTGOING! They are looking for enthusiasm, energy and experience. If you have any experience working with kids that’s beneficial, but not essential.

      Great to connect with you! Are you from the UK? When you are 18 you could apply for a summer camp as a camp counselor in the US to get a feel for it. I went through CCUSA and worked for a camp called Camp Cayuga. It was awesome because the visa allowed me to travel after the camp ended and I went all over the US. You could always look into fields that offer visas to study so when you are a bit

    Amazing story. I'm 16 and am just not sure what to do with my life aha, currently living in South Yorkshire UK, and with the subjects I have chosen for A-Levels and my interests, doing something in games makes sense for me. With a lot of research, it's clear all the companies I believe I would enjoy working at more are in the US, and all the US salaries when it comes to game development/design seem to be much much higher on average. As much as I think the US looks awesome though, I just don't think I could move from the UK and family etc, guess I'll just see what I end up doing and if I actually figure out what I wanna do as a career. Wouldn't surprise me if I end up moving though. It's great to see how well things turned out in your move :)

I met the love of my life last year, and just like you, we both worked there again this year. We both want to be together, but it’s tough since she lives in Alabama, and I live in England. We’ve talked plans over too many times to list, but I think it’s most likely that I’ll move over. Seeing this video has given me so much hope for that future with her because that is all I could ever want.

I flew over on a fiancé visa. I think the paperwork is “doable” if you pay attention to details but a lot of people do hire lawyers for the process. I did it with the help of people on VisaJourney snd it went great. Make sure to take lots of screenshots, pictures, videos etc. they serve as proof of your relationship. That was a stressful part for us - we were married always and brought pictures of our wedding with both our families there and they still wanted the invitation 🤣. They asked all sorts of questions that I feel like normal couples wouldn’t even know, but just have faith in the process! Please keep us posted- so happy for you man!

I know the saying that the grass is always greener on the other side is sometimes true but, I think many times, people realize too late that their "dream" country isn't any better than where they've come from. I've often thought of moving to a new country including England but most recently to Panama. I have a friend who is living the ex pat life there now and loves every minute of it. She was able to retire in her mid-50s and the pension she receives would have allowed her to lead a frugal life here in northern Michigan but she lives like a Queen down there. I can romanticize it all I want but at the end of the day, I hate the heat of summer and know I would be miserable there. lol

      If you work at a kids camp they help you pay for travel costs! I wouldn’t dwell too much on money if you are able to make some working while you visit. If you do something like at camp, meals are including and lodging. I took about £1,000 with me and made about $2,500, and that was more than enough to travel for a month after I was done working and I went to a bunch of different states afterwards.

    Your story was so emotional and amazing at the same time 😢☺️, this really inspired me alot, I look at a lot of long distance relationship vlogs because they help me to keep going as I'm currently being in a long distance for 6 months now with an amazing American US citizen. His been my best relationship in a long time despite the distance, although his currently in the US military on deployment in Africa so its extremely hard with communication etc. But his retiring by the end of this month finally being 19 years in service, so as we're are planning to take the fiancée visa route as well, your journey has given us great encouragement coming from the UK as well.

      So great to connect with you! NYC is Morgan’s favorite place in the world! The easiest way IMP is to find seasonal work (that can lead to year-round work), because there is such a need for staff and employers are used to process of provided work visas and making it simple for employees. Have you ever looked at CCUSA? It sounds like you are probably well into your career but it might be even a good opportunity to come over here and network while off work. Best of luck!

      It’s kind of crazy isn’t it? You don’t even want to know how much we paid to have the boys WITH insurance. Most people receive insurance via their employer and there are so many different levels/ plans, it’s crazy. We are self-employed so we have to shop the marketplace for it and it and pay out of pocket to “be insured” and that definitely only covers part of our care- there are differences we have to pay and co-pays on top of that. I will say that care is more prompt and we have had some amazing doctors and dentists, but it’s expensive!

I am dual citizen btw which is very fortunate. I am now back in the UK about to graduate in finance, and I am mainly applying to USA jobs as there is just so little opportunity in the UK atm! I am looking at going back to MI, or maybe PA as most starting jobs at big companies seem to be in rural areas for some reason. The hardest thing for me as well is leaving family, I'm 23 and am so close with them all, especially grandparents and my sister has a baby on the way so it'll be tough! If I end up in MI I'd love to meet up for a coffee or something?:) How did you get over the culutre shock in USA?

We went to a Real Madrid game at the Big House and really liked it there! We actually met in PA! So cool that our stories are so similar. Let's definitely do coffee when you are back in the midwest! Whereabouts in the UK are you from? It's so hard to leave family, but at least you can always visit and vice versa. Covid has really been hard on me. We were planning on going over in 2020 :/ There was definitely a culture shock at first, but I didn't mind it much. Now I am so used to it and it definitely feels like home.

      Joseff Emmanuel Thank you so much for your question! For 2 summers I worked on a J1 visa at a summer camp. What camps are you looking at? Do you have an idea of where you want to be in the US for your camp experience?
