Hello :)
« on: June 26, 2018, 10:51:12 PM »
Hi Everyone,

My name is Maria and I've just signed up to the forum here and am excited about joining this community. I found out about UK Yankee from my fiancé (adamb1026) who also signed up today to ask questions about our current situation. We are currently looking at how best to get married and transition towards living together in the UK. As he has already stated in his thread, my fiancé is from Northern Ireland and I am from Minnesota, USA.

Although I have been researching visa information all day and I have so many questions, my brain is spinning a bit too much at the moment to formulate any coherent questions this evening. So for now, all I will say is hello!  :) And I'm so excited to join this community and ask lots of questions and hopefully be able to offer any wisdom we have gained as my fiancé and I continue this journey together.

All the best!

Welcome!  Yes, it is always fun when both partners are on the forum.  :)

Hope we didn't overwhelm you with pushing you to marry first.  ;)
