Dawn L asked:

I am considering moving to Missouri to be with my boyfriend once we are married. I currently live in Scotland, and have lived in the USA for 10 months before. I would like to know more information about the visa process. I would also like to know how other women/men found the transition of moving from Britain to America, especially in the current financial climate. Did you struggle financially? Did your lifestyle alter? Any information or advice would be great! Thanks.

    This is the website to get your visa from. It’s the US Embassy in London. It said that the office in Edinburgh does not handle visas. The people around St. Louis, MO are real nice; you should like it.

    I’m not in any similar situation, but I can answer some of your questions:
    unless you’re already stable with a high-end job and are used to living middle class or higher, the financial crisis should not effect you too much. I’m an American and when the recession started, I was not affected at all, except for having to pay a little bit more for rent, taxes, and groceries. You should actually be pretty well off if you have some savings, because the exchange rate to US dollars is about £1.4 to $1. [who]

    If you intend to marry in the US, he should submit a fiancee petition
    (form I-129F) to US immigration. Upon approval it will be sent to
    the US embassy or consulate nearest you where you will
    instructed as to the requirements for the visa. To see the form and
    instructions go to uscis.gov. This applies only if he is a US
    citizen. If he is a legal resident, you would not be lawfully allowed
    to come to the US to marry him. [who]
