New and Fantastically Nervous!
« on: June 12, 2010, 01:11:52 AM »
Hello everyone! :)

I'm new here and stumbled upon this fantastic looking website and forum while bumbling about my way through the web in preparation to jump through many hoops to find my way to the UK, where my fiance currently resides.

I'm more than a nervous wreck, but no matter what I plan to get through things. Currently still living in the US and arranging a visit with my fiance in the next few months for a week or two at London.

You'll probably see me around the Visas & Citizenship area soon enough. There are so many things I don't know where to begin to take care of, but this looks like a warm and welcoming community (I hope)!

I am looking to be living in the UK soon sometime this year, I imagine there's a lot ahead of me, but I'm determined to succeed with everyone's help. :)

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm terribly shy, but always enjoy the company of friendly faces!

P.S. I also forgot to mention. Boy do I love Marmite. My greatest lament about living where I am now is it's not readily nor easily accessible. Fiance showed it to me a while back and life hasn't been the same for me since.

Welcome to UKY! I can assure you that most of us here have been through the nervous wreck phase before (at least I have!), so you'll find plenty of support here. Congratulations on your engagement!  :D

Haha, what a nice welcome.
Thank you, everyone. :)

Going to be doing some snooping around for more information before I go posting. Still trying to gather about plenty of research from some of the listed sources on this website.

It's a pleasure meeting you all!

Welcome and as a newbie myself, I can say everyone is very welcoming and kind here, so you are in good hands.

Congrats on your engagement and I wish you much luck and joy in your quest to get abroad. 

Be well and don't worry too much about the nervous energy.  It's par for the course when trying to transplant!
