Hi Mike,
This is a little off topic perhaps - Assuming you're now a US citizen, or at least a permanent resident of the US (for now anyway - I read about your desire to move) - what was your experience with the US immigration services when you moved here?
The reason I ask is that I've actually just moved to california to be with my wife and am currently attempting to get used to a culture that is distinctly different to the UK.
I'm actually a participant of another forum (www.visajourney.com) that deals specifically with people wanting to make the move to the US legally. Obviously a lot has changed post 9/11 and a lot of us foreigners are finding that the new immigration laws require much hoop jumping on our part (with the constant threat of deportation or jail for any deviation of the rules) and places a lot of emphasis on my wife and her family to support me until I get work authorisation (which is likely to take at least 3 months).
So just wondering really - was the immigration process for you?
