Newbie - to forums and the visa process!
« on: June 10, 2019, 04:05:20 AM »
Hey!

I’m a British citizen, recently returned from the US to hopefully get my husband here soon with me and our daughter. I’m new to forums and so far finding it daunting... it took me a while to just find this post!!! On that note, I’m happy to be here to learn as I go and be able to find out some very useful and valuable information to help the process feel a little less painful.

My husband and myself have been married 5 years this month, we met in Belgium 7 years ago and are excited to hopefully move our family to England without a hiccup.

Welcome to the group :)

I would strongly encourage you to try to encourage your partner to join this forum as well. I personally think it's really good to have both people involved to join and learn about the process so you can better support each other through the stressful times. Also, it will be good for him (if he's never lived in England) to have a community to turn to if he faces any bumps with the cultural differences.
My, how time flies....

* Married in the US and applied for first spousal visa August 2013

'Mommy, Wow! I'm a legit Brit now!'
