United KingdomChange in address after NOA2
Just a quick question - I put my parents address down on my 325 form, but i since have moved. My fiance just booked his medical... who would I contact at this point about my address change? Is it crucial for me to do this? I'm confused as to what to do and whom to speak to! Any thoughts would be great!! Thanks!!!

United KingdomCitizenship Question
Hello!
My fiancé and I hit the topic of acquiring citizenship of one another’s home country. Does my fiancé have to have citizenship here? Can we travel back and forth between the US and England without either of us having citizenship of the others country? Is there a minimum/maximum that a person can live in his/her spouse’s home country without obtaining citizenship? My fiancé’s interview date is coming in early January so these sorts of questions are arising.

Also, I had a question about getting a stamp from New York airport that allows my fiance to work? Does he have to fly into New York to get this? How can he start work once he arrives in the US?

These may be ludicrous questions but we are curious for answers! Anything would be helpful! Thank you! biggrin.gif

United KingdomTax refund from UK income

Are you asking if you should let them know that you have left? I guess so. I haven't told them yet. I need to get round to that but have savings accounts and a house still to deal with and am not sure of the implications of that. But I worked only part of a year last year and I did claim and receive a tax rebate.


Thanks for the information!

Unlike your situation, I do not have anything over in the UK that I am paying for (only a bank account with very little money in there). The year that I left the UK (tax year April 2009 to April 2010) I only worked from April to August 2009, leading me to think that I may be entitled to a refund. Do you think I have a case?

I will most likely let them know anyway, so none of us get messed around!

Thanks again for your help!

United KingdomTax refund from UK income
Hi all,

I just wanted to get people's opinion on a question I had; I'm sure many of you have been in the same situation!

I'll just give brief details of my situtaion. I moved over to USA on a K-1 visa in January 2010, becoming a green card holder in July 2010. Prior to moving over, I had been working in the UK for around 5 years. This got me thinking about my earning's during that period and the income tax/National Insurance I was paying and if I could qualify for a refund.

Having done some brief research, I managed to find the following on the DirectGov website:

Contacting HM Revenue & Customs when you leave the UK
If you have left or are about to leave the UK you must tell HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

If you're not required to fill in a tax return, you'll have to complete form P85 Leaving the UK - getting your tax right. HMRC will use the information on the form to send you any tax refund you're owed and work out if you'll become non-resident. It's important you enclose parts 2 and 3 of form P45 if you have one as HMRC will not be able to make any tax refund due without them. You'll need to send the original versions - photocopies won't be accepted.

If you're leaving the UK to work full-time abroad for a UK based employer for at least a complete tax year, you'll need to fill in a tax return as well as a form P85.

I currently am not paying any UK tax, as you would expect, as all my affilitions from there have gone and it have obviously been a long time since I left the UK.

I would sincerly appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this situation and if it worth me getting in touch with HMRC.
Thank you all for your help!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhat to expect after packet 3 - London Embassy
Hello everyone!!

I have found visajournery very useful through this process, it is good to finally be apart of it!

I was wondering if anyone knew what to expect after we've received packet 3. My fiance already posted it back to the UK Embassy, but I read somewhere that it will take 10-12 weeks for the Embassy to process our file! Is this true? I was wondering if anyone had a rough idea of when to expect the interview and how long it takes after the interview till my fiance will be in the U.S. I know its a tough question to ask, but I'm slightly confused by what happens next and how long it will be! If anyone can help us out with this, it would be great!!

Thank you every much fellow vjers!!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751, Part 3, Q. 9 - Additional residences
Hi all!

So the time has finally come for me to submit my removal of conditions paperwork. I just had a quick question regarding the additional residences and how to put this down on paper. Would something like this be appropriate (obviously with the correct dates in, etc!:


RE: I-751 JOINT PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF STATUS ON:

(K-1 VISA) Name, A#*******

Regarding Form I-751, Part 3, Question 9

Addition addresses resided at:

1. Street, Apt, City, State, Zip. From Jan 1st 2010 until June 25th 2010
2. Street, Apt, City, State, Zip. From Jan 1st 2011 until July 26th 2011
3. Street, Apt, City, State, Zip. Current residence.


Are any other details required?

As I always say on here when I post, this website has been such a valuable resource for my wife and I. I'm not sure we'd have been able to do everything without you guys! It's great to know that there's so many others in the same boat and it's really not worth getting stressed about!

Thanks a lot guys! :-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTravelling to the USA via Ireland???
Hi all!!!!

Me and my fiancee are currently in the final processes of the K-1 visa [well, this side of the Atlantic anyway!!!] and I have my interview at the US Embassy in London in a weeks time. I am looking into flight options from the UK to USA, specifically Boston. I'm most likely going to travel via Dublin. Could anyone please tell me what this involves?
Does this mean the 'Brown envelope' will be opened and all other checks will be done in Ireland, during the stopover? From looking around on VJ, I was under the impression this does happen.

Also, I just wanna say a big big thank you to eveyone involved with VJ, it has been such an AWESOME resource in all parts of the K-1 process and without it, well...............I can't imagine what we'd have done without this wicked website. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!

:-)
