Hi all!
My partner and I currently live in Liverpool UK and we want to move to America.
I'm looking for some advice please, I've done a lot of research and everything seems clear enough but there are a few grey/gray =) areas!
We holiday in Florida and California and each time we have to come how we are absolutley miserable. Our goal is to move there in the next few years, all depending on how long the whole process will take and what changes we have to make to make it possible.
I'm an experience primary school teacher, I have worked in specialist schools and have read differing information on how useful this could be. I know teachers all over the USA have had massive job cuts, I've also read that specialist school experience can earn a sponsor from a private school.
My partner has his own legal firm, it is based in the UK and earns him around £100,000 salary a year. He works from home and checks in on the office every now and then so this would be his role in America. His business in the UK would provide his income and he would do bits of work from home in America.
We own our house, no kids yet.
Are we in a position to be considered?
We wouldn't want to do such a huge move just on a 3/6/12 month visa, we would need more security than that but would it have to be that we moved over on any visa we could get and kept applying every ? months until eventually we could apply for a green card?
Also, I've read that once expat children leave school at 21 they might not be able to stay.
Any advice would be wonderful and very much appreciated. I'm getting rather frustrated with daily Googling for help and would love to hear from humans instead =)
Thank you in advance xxx
