British Expatriate Network

8) Was just learning that his Visa was turned down to come to USA. When all his troubles started and he said he was heading our way, was wondering how the hell he was going to do. Just thought that he had friends in high places etc. Glad to see the INS stuck to the letter of the law.

From what I have read his wife and kids are here in Texas. I do feel for him for that. One thing I have often disliked that they can break families up just because.

When I applied to move over here. Had often thought what I would have done if they said no. You know the situation. You meet the woman of your dreams etc, both of you head over heels in love and getting married, and they turn and say no. I wonder what the stat's are for that??

My family was split up for a time because of the INS.

I do wonder why he says he will set up the family home in Europe (but not the UK) What's he got against the UK? Or has he got an iffy record there too?

Let's face it, if any of us had any convictions anywhere in the world we would have been turned down for residency.

The INS do not split families up.

You are quite at liberty to remain together outside the USA.

Well said.

With an EU passport he can live in a multitude of "foreign" country’s, can’t say his misses will be too keen thou. Saying that if one can brave SA what’s up with Europe?
