Hello,
I'm Maria. My husband and I are planning to move from Phoenix, Arizona to the London area in, hopefully, the second half of 2018. (Yeah, big difference. I expect to basically live in my winter coat the entire first year.) We want to move for a wide assortment of reasons, some of which are more personal than others, but they all sum up to the fact that we believe it's the best choice for the life we want. We've got a dog and three cats. He works in computer… programming stuff, and I work in aviation, and I'm also still working on my Bachelor's degree.
We're both US citizens, expecting to seek a tier 2 general visa, based on the advice given to us by an immigration lawyer a friend suggested to us. For the specific aviation-related stuff that I work with, it's best if I apply for British citizenship as soon as I'm eligible, so we're planning with that in mind. Right now we've got so many questions that I can't even think of them all (and on top of that, I'm in the middle of an unusually heavy-workload semester) so I just decided to register and probably lurk for a little while before I get settled enough to ask questions and participate. But I wanted to get the introductions out of the way, so there you have it!
Maria
