Hi All,
So we are well on our way with a potential move from the UK to the US, my wife has been offered a relocation package from the UK to the US on a L1a visa.
For information, we are both 27, and have just recently married after several years.
We are of the understanding that as she is being offered the L1A visa, this will also entitle me to work whilst in the US, if I can find employment, I am a qualified business analyst with plenty of experience.
We would be based in bentonville, Arkansas.
After doing plenty of research online, I thought I would reach out to all you helpful guys for some pointers in the right direction.
So here are my questions:
We currently own a property in the UK and are not looking to sell this but hopefully plan to move on a BTL mortgage and will let the property out, if circumstances allow this, does anyone have any advice on the tax implications of this, benefits / drawbacks, etc?
As we are recently married, and plan to start a family in the near future, what are the implications of this and health care in the US?
What is the best process for transferring money from the UK and US in the future?
Does anyone have any experience of the Arkansas area?
What are the implications on our UK based pensions?
What is the best thing to do in relation to not paying UK NI contributions and the impact on the state pension, I understand the UK does not freeze the state pension when moving to the US, so is it worth making contributions?
What are the tax rates I need to take into account for working / living in Bentonville?
Any advice in relation to 401k plans, would be beneficial
If anyone has negotiated a relocation package with an employer any pointers would be beneficial
Another concern of ours, is hopefully I will be able to find work
As some of you have been through this process any questions I am missing or information you may think is beneficial, please feel to give me pointers so I can ensure all bases have been covered.
