We got married in the USA and moved over to the UK after I got my Spouse visa settled. We're thinking of moving to the USA in 3-5 years after I've gotten dual citizenship. Can somebody give me a link with information regarding what I should do to get my Husband (uk cit) to the USA?

Thanks for your help

 

heh, I know it seems a bit funny, and unbelievable, but all that we did was take a vacation in the States

I had been in the UK since December 22nd, 2005 after having missed my flight in January due to car trouble. My Fiance at the time had planned on coming to visit in March of 06 anyways, so I extended my stay and Flew to the USA with my fiance on March 18th. We talked quite a bit before the flight and had decided that it would be easiest for us to get married in the US and then spend our honeymoon in the UK, after which I'd leave to go back to the USA to take care of the Visa.

Basically, we arrived in Illinois on the 18th of March, went to the courthouse on the 21st and obtained a marriage license. Illinois has a 24 hour waiting period, so we got married on the 23rd of March. You can easily look up the Marriage license laws and restrictions for each state on the internet.

We left the USA on March 25th, to go on our "honeymoon" which effectively was just a small white lie, we never had a honeymoon, we were too busy frantically searching for somewhere for us to live, so we wouldnt have any problems with the Visa application. No such luck finding a good place. We decided to just accept my Inlaws offer to stay with them till we found suitable accomadation. I flew out of the UK on June 1st and applied for my Visa on the 9th at a Consulate General. I walked away that day with my visa in hand, kicking myself because I had to wait till June 30th to go home to my new husband. If possible, I'd suggest getting married and doing the whole visa process in the same trip if you can, but make sure you're prepared, if you comb the Europe forum here, you'll get all the information you'll ever need Also, once you get settled in the UK, you'll want to get a job, obviously. I suggest registering with recruitment agencies and just start applying. You'll need to make an appointment to obtain a national insurance number before you can recieve pay properly.

Also, if you're fretting about ticket prices and things, My husband and I just got round trip tickets from Manchester to Chicago for less than £800 since the prices have gone up a ton!

We always find good deals with Cheaptickets.com and AA.com

Good luck

 

We plan on following Direct Consular Filing. In London. This seems the easiest of all the options available to us in regards to the upcoming future.
