Oooh how exciting! I hope it all goes well.

Newark was my POE - was SO easy. They weren't overly friendly with me, but they had a lot of people coming in, so I can understand that.


Happy reunion!

United KingdomCan anyone help me out with East enders?

My Lord that's old!

United KingdomHow long should we expect?
Basically yes, but I was nagging them because the guy at the embassy told me that as soon as I sent it in it should take 2 days or so, so I called the courier to see if it was in their system, and it was, then it arrived

Not really. I had the interview the week before, had the new stuff fed-exed over and just sent it back right away, that was all.

I actually did have something similar, I got RFE'd at the embassy and had to re send in the I-134's and supporting docs again, however I was very luck. They recieved it on a monday, issued the visa wednesday and I had it on Friday!

I'm sorry to hear your feeling homesick, it happens to us all. At first I felt really bad but its getting easier.

United KingdomWhy did you choose the US?
For us really, the Uk was never a real option. We sometimes talk about living there - but not for any long term basis.

My husband has now graduated from college but he hadn't at the time, and that was a major pull. Also, cost of living is alot lower here and could afford to own a home alot easier, plus my husbands dream job couldn't work out so well in the UK.

I do miss the UK, but I love living here, and always have wanted to live here. I was never worried about leaving my family as they are scattered about and was used to not seeing them.

United KingdomFavourite English word or phrase (or Irish or Scottish ....

IMO, the quintessential Americanism is "Awesome". We, like, say it all the time. LOL


Totally. Awesome. My pals in Ireland were always teasing me by saying "awesome" every other word, which I never knew was Irish.

Anyway, :waves from Latin America forum which is not nearly so fun: this thread has had me laughing out loud quite a bit. One of my best friends is British and my favorite things are the simple things. I love "sorted" so much.

But on this thread, I learned she's actually saying "can't be arsed".... :blush: Thank you for educating me and entertaining me, UK forum!


Hiya...ya I like sorted as well!
Chris uses it daily so I've picked it up.


Come back any time!


Thanks, PS, I meant which I never knew was AMERICAN. Up there. I don't think there's another country that uses "awesome" like we do. Juuust ignore me. Thanks for letting me lurk. (We're considering a move to the UK next year.)


I like to think we're an equal opportunity forum! I always love your input Alex! Lurk all you like!

I'd love a move to the UK but with 3 kids, its just not practical, so my honey is moving here! There's another total Amercanism "honey"! Griff swore he'd NEVER use it and now he does ALL the time!!!



I'm also guilty of the honey motion :blush:

You know whats funny...as I am reading this thread so many of the things people say they think is cute that us UKers say...I didn't even REALISE that its only something we say.

Now ofcourse the obvious things like cheeky monkey and the like no but "having a row" to me I didn't even realise that was a different way of speaking :lol:

I say "ta" as in the thank you ALL the time, I get the strangest looks! Haha.

United KingdomCr*ppy birthday to me

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes (and the drink in my honour, LisaD!). We ended up going out for a Thai meal (mmmmmm) with deep-fried ice cream at the end. I now feel like I should have worn my elasticated trousers! :blush:

The garage got back to me and said they'd bring the car round tomorrow while I'm at work, so all is muuuuuuch better. If a little dyspeptic (*hic*). :P


Glad it all turned out right in the end...the deep fried ice cream's gotta help too. :P


You know, to be quite honest, I've never actually tried deep fried ice cream!

United KingdomSemi Approved at the Embassy today
I had a something like that happen to me, I had to re-submit the I-134 and supporting docs again. My now husband and inlaws filled them out and shipped them over express that night ( was a tuesday) I recieved them thursday, sent them up to the embassy friday, they got them tuesday, and they issued the visa thursday, had it on friday, and was in the US sunday! :P

I hope that you have just as quick a turn around!

United KingdomWe bought flags today
Wow, thats pretty sad.

Isn't it illegal though to tell people what flag they can or cannot fly? Free will and all that. Well, thats what my husband tells me anyway, and it would only make sense.

When I actually have a house (not a box called an apartment) I'll be flying the american flag, union jack and maybe even a pirate flag ( I am some what of a rebel).

I was RFE'd for the I-134, I had to re-submit the forms (my husband was a ful ltime student then also, and had little wage) and some extra documents.

IT really can depend but I'd hold off on buying it, you never know if you'll get a hold up (I got RFE'd at the embassy).
