NYC Girl Getting Married to a London Boy
« on: August 08, 2012, 05:18:06 PM »
Hello! I've been reading this board for awhile and thought it was about time to introduce myself. As the title says, I am engaged to a wonderful man who lives in London and I will be making the move to join him shortly. I'm not sure if I am going to get a fiance visa first or just move after we marry but I am leaning towards the former. I'm so glad I have found this website as it has been super helpful so far. Nice to meet everyone!

Hiya and welcome. :)

Yes, this board is a real godsend for getting through the visa process, as well as a wealth of info in all things UK. :)

Hope to see you on the forums.

Well, she was an American girl, raised on promises.
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life, somewhere else.
After all it was a great big world, with lots of places to run to.
And if she had to die trying she had one little promise she was gonna keep.

Hello! I am a native Manhattanite married to a native London boy!
“It was when I realised I had a new nationality: I was in exile. I am an adulterous resident: when I am in one city, I am dreaming of the other. I am an exile; citizen of the country of longing.” ― Suketu Mehta.

Married 04/13/11, in NYC.
Applied for Spouse Visa the following week, with express service, and I was approved 4 days later!
Arrived in the UK 05/20/11.
I took the stupid LIUK Test Oct. 2012.
We were granted ILR In Person in Croydon on 04/23/13.
Got BRP 2 days later, in mail box - it just appeared.
