Moving from Boston to Lancashire

Hello Everyone, My visa was just approved, after a 3 week wait, so it's official, I'm moving to the UK to be with my husband! We were just married 1 month ago, and both biologists, although he's from Wales originally, working in Lancaster currently. I'm so pleased to have come across this board. I've been lurking for the past 3 months or more, gleaming advice about preparing the Spousal visa. We did it all on our own, with the help of you guys, and I feel so fortunate that it was quick and relatively painless, although not without stress! So thanks to all of you friendly posters.
I'm planning to immigrate in about 2 weeks and would love to hear from people who have gone through this process of packing up their lives! Any expats in Lancashire? Any biologists?
But most of all, just want to say thanks to all you folks for being so warm and supportive, especially if you've posted about visa info, it was an enormous help

Welcome to UKY, and congrats on your marriage and visa approval! This forum is certainly very helpful during the whole process - everyone is so knowledgeable and it's nice to have a source where everything is spelled out in plain English!

My husband and I live in Wiltshire, but we find ourselves in Preston, Lancashire a few times a year to visit family. We'll actually be there in a couple weeks' time, too.

When I moved here in November, I came with nothing but a couple suitcases and my cats. I either got rid of or sold everything else, leaving only a few boxes of things at my mother's house. Probably not the most ideal of situations! Space bags are your friends, though.

Space bags! awesome! forgot all about those!

Welcome!  I've just moved back (for the second time) also from Boston.  Still trying to decide what to do with all my stuff back there (our son has custody of the house, car and cat for the time being).  Somehow it seems harder the second time around, maybe because I now know what I want to keep (like all my towels and pots and pans!!)

I would recommend looking at the "world" forum at allnurses.com as your wife is likely lacking nursing hours required for a US RN license in most states, probably OB and pediatrics. If this is the case, she'll have to make up those clinical hours, which can be hard to come by. The US nursing degree is generalist to everything whereas the UK nursing degree is usually specific: adult, peds, midwifery, psych, etc
