    I did actually find that one, and I thought that I possibly didn't have to - but I've been fined before in the UK because I am HOPELESS at this kind of stuff, so I wanted to be extra sure. I was just going to hire an accountant out here, but of course I didn't realize until today that I might...

    Thank you. I'm basically done (I didn't earn any income in the 2 months of 2015 I was in California, so it was fairly simple), but HR block is asking for $30 to file my state return. Do you happen to have any idea if it's necessary for me to do that, or is a federal return enough? I can't find...

    Hi guys!!! How's everyone doing? We've had an amazing trip - NY, Miami, DC, Chicago, then the California Zefyr through the Rockies to Emeryville. Just spectacular, I'd highly recommend, especially in the snowy season. Now we're in LA. Hmmm. We're going to give it a year, as it's where the...

    We're traveling around a bit first, but we'll be settling in California. We have a friend who we've rented a place with in LA, so he did most of the ground work. None of us have a credit rating yet, so we had to pay double the deposit, of which they'll give us half back after the first year...

    Also, just thought I'd let people know, we made our move on 12th Nov, and came through without a hitch. Didn't get questioned at all. I hope everyone else has a similar experience, and good luck to those about to do it! x

    Hey guys, is there a way we can track where our SSN is up to? Sorry if there's already a thread on this... How long did everyone's take? And do they send it to the address where our green card is going?

    Hi lovely people, this may seem like a daft question, but someone asked me and I thought I should check. We're leaving the UK for NY on the QM2 next week- not an activation trip, we will be staying (how nostalgic, I'm super excited!!) BUT do we need a ticket out again even though we'll be...
