Hello from Northern Ireland!
« on: September 01, 2018, 06:37:29 PM »
Hi guys so happy to finally have joined up after a while of lurking as a guest!

I am married to a beautiful American girl! We met when she was working in the UK but sadly due to family matters in the US she had to return back to the States. I am currently working towards meeting the Visa and have just finished a degree! So a busy bee. This place seems to be full of amazing people, it is so touching to see just how much help, concern and genuine feeling everyone has for each other! Excited that I am at this stage but plenty of questions! However I will keep them in the relevant sections of the forum!

But one for here! How do I set a profile image! Haha!

Welcome!  :) Are you going to the US or is she coming here?

Go to the profile tab, top left, then modify profile, then poke around a bit and you'll find what you're looking for!  ;D

I thought that was probably the case but didn't want to assume!  :)

Fire away with all your visa questions in the visa section when you're ready.  :)
