Problem is there�s so much to think of that we don�t know where to start. We would prefer low airline fares to paris from san fran for him to come to the UK, but if that is not possible due to lack of employment opportunities here in the North West, then I will go to the US.

Not exactly. The I-130 takes longer, but you/he can apply for a spousal visa via a follow up I-129F application low airline fares to paris from san fran once USCIS acknowledges receipt of the I-130, and that shortens up the process to the 6-9 month period.

I assume you mean U.S. Social low airline fares to paris from san fran Security which is not generally described as a pension in part because it also includes survivors and disability benefits in addition to retirement benefits. Disability coverage kicks in quickly once you start contributing to the system (i.e. working in the U.S. and paying payroll taxes). To qualify independently low airline fares to paris from san fran for U.S. Social Security retirement benefits you need at least 10 calendar low airline fares to paris from san fran years of nontrivial contributions into the system. The U.S. and the U.K. have a totalization agreement which means you can count U.K. contributions toward the 10 year requirement if necessary to qualify for U.S. benefits, although U.S. benefits are reduced if you receive U.K. benefits. You probably will also qualify for benefits through your husband. You can choose to receive retirement benefits as early as age 62 and as late as age 70. The longer you wait to start collecting retirement benefits the higher the monthly benefit anount. U.S. Social Security benefits can be paid in most countries overseas if you move.
If you have earned income you can contribute to U.S. tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs. And you should if you can. And/or you can often make contributions for your husband or vice versa if only one of you has earned income.
If you have a U.S. Social Security number -- or even sometimes if you don't -- your husband can arrange low airline fares to paris from san fran for his credit card company to issue you a credit card in your name tied to his account. That card can have a separate limit, low airline fares to paris from san fran typically.
low airline fares to paris from san fran Probably, but your proposed date is as perfect as it gets for integrating into the U.S. system, and he presumably reads, speaks, and writes English. Find a challenging U.S. high school, low airline fares to paris from san fran and he'll be fine.
Opinions may differ, but my advice would be that if your son can get into, say, Harvard, low airline fares to paris from san fran he should absolutely go, and their financial aid will be extremely generous. If he'd have to pay a lot of money to attend a middling or worse university, there are great European alternatives.
Both my son and I can be added to my husband�s employer�s insurance low airline fares to paris from san fran policy. When I reach retirement age, would I qualify for State medical low airline fares to paris from san fran cover? I don�t want to get to 65 (?) and find out I have no medical cover.
I would recommend investigating adoption, assuming everyone is in agreement. There's probably an easy/quick path for your son to acquire U.S. citizenship in that event (while retaining his British citizenship). That's probably the right move so that he can move freely between the U.S. and Europe as his life (and his family) takes him.
There is no reason low airline fares to paris from san fran you can't visit the USA while the application is being processed. You just need to have a return ticket, and bring some ties to the UK. To show you are going to return to the UK and finish the visa application there.
To follow up, strongly discouraged is the right advice about visiting the U.S. while you have an I-130/I-129F pending. USCIS itself advises against it. Davis1 alludes to the problem: you have a tough needle to thread, legally speaking, and it's all too easy to be caught lying about your intentions even if it wasn't intentional.
As I mentioned, the U.S. and the U.K. have a Social Security totalization agreement. If you do not have enough years of contributions low airline fares to paris from san fran in either country, either country low airline fares to paris from san fran can count contributions to the other in order to qualify for benefits. If you qualify for two countries' benefits independently, great, though the U.S. (at least) will reduce theirs if you collect from another country's system. But you are not required to continue contributing to the U.K. system even if you don't yet qualify for U.K. benefits if you're paying into the U.S. system. You can ask the U.K. to count your U.S. contributions in order to determine whether you qualify for U.K. benefits. That's what totalization (or totalisation) means. Consult the U.S.-U.K. totalization agreement for more details .
If you work in the U.S. it's very rare that you will not be required to contribute low airline fares to paris from san fran to the U.S. system. I would recommend running some sample calculations to figure out whether it makes sense to continue voluntarily contributing to the U.K. system given the totalization agreement in place. Probably not would be my guess, but you ought to check that.
My advice about your husband getting a supplementary credit low airline fares to paris from san fran card issued in your name and tied to his account is probably low airline fares to paris from san fran responsive to your question about developing a credit history. Hopefully your husband has a good credit history. low airline fares to paris from san fran That said, it's not something low airline fares to paris from san fran I'd worry about at all unless you plan to borrow money from a U.S. lender soon and solely in your name. Having that second card is more important from the point of view of having access to emergency household funds. low airline fares to paris from san fran But you don't need a U.S. credit card to rent a car, for example. You could use a U.K. credit card to rent a car (if the car rental company insists on a credit card) then, when you return the car, ask the rental company to charge the rental to your U.S. debit card (once you have one of those).
Correct, but that's not the complete story. Authorized users added to a credit card account are not routinely reported to credit bureaus, true. Also, lenders are not obliged to give any weight to such history even if reported. low airline fares to paris from san fran (Nothing unusual about that.) However, you can always ask prospective lenders to consider that additional, earlier credit history as an authorized user, and in a tie breaker situation that history can be helpful. The lender can access low airline fares to paris from san fran that additional history with your permission, or once you add a Social Security number to the account the open date will show up on the next push to the credit low airline fares to paris from san fran bureaus.
low airline fares to paris from san fran It's probably worth mentioning that the U.S. gift limit to nonresident alien spouses is $143,000 per year (tax year 2013).

(Some reimbursements would not be considered taxable gifts, such as most education and medical expenses.) Above $143,000 in taxable gifts and the giver (the U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse) must pay U.S. gift tax. Also, such gifts count against the lifetime estate limit.
7. You will have to retake ur test in Florida. As said previously, the period that you have to sort the license varies. Check the Florida DMV for more info. It's nothing like the UK test and I took mine in St Pete, Fl and didn't even go onto the road lol. It was an enclosed track and was so easy it's not even funny..

Does it mean that I cannot go to the US whilst we go through the I-130 process? I have no intention to fool the system or to immigrate without full and proper documentation. I have a son in school in the UK, a job and a house here. Until everything is properly sorted low airline fares to paris from san fran out Is there any way i can get some sort of pre-authorisation to visit my husband without the risk of getting turned back by US immigration? low airline fares to paris from san fran What if I travel without my son? Surely that would be proof of my intention to return to the UK?
Perhaps i wasnt clear in my post. My marriage certificate does actually bear my husbands name. I was not planning on changing my name until all of the bureaucracy was complete. Do I now have a US name and a UK name? Or do I need to change everything over to my husbands name in both countries? If possible I would prefer to keep my own name in the UK.
