Hello Yorkie Gal - thats real out there country Alaska me thinks.. welcome to the forum. I'm another who opted for a "LifeDownUnder"

well i'm a brit living in England and still like it here, !just!

A big welcome from me too Yorkie Gal

Hi Yorkie gal, Alaska hey I dont think there is anyone on here from there. We are hoping to move to Canada.

Belated Hello to you Yorkshire Lass!

Alaska..wow.. bit of a change from Yorkshire, yeah? haha!
I have relatives(-to-be!) in Juneau! After thinking I'd be moving to the U.S. with my O/H, he's now going to come over here instead..but we haven't ruled out moving back to the U.S later. How did you find the whole emigration process? I assume you got married before you moved over?

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
Hi Hope i found the immigration process to be a total bloody nightmare, so we hired an Attorney to do our paper work and she was just great.
I came over to Alaska on a K1 Visa and we got married over here in July, right now i am in the middle of adjusting status have my interview next Tuesday GULP!! i always get sooooooo nervous.
But if all goes well i will get my green card and be good to go at least for a couple of years.
Love it here and its very,very different from Yorkshire my accent causes loads of confusion though! lol
So my O/H is the interpretor.

Hi again,
Haha.. I can imagine your accent will be a thrill to hear for many of your new friends..I know my scottish one is when I am over there! Just have to really slooow down to begin with. Glad you are enjoying your new life there!
Interesting about you getting there without being married first... when I was looking into things.. that seeemed to be the only way I'd be able to move over - ie. if we got married beforehand.
I'm sure all will be fine for you .. what's to get nervous about? You are quite legitimate and have a right to be there!

Anyhoo - happy for you!

~ Hope :o)

Hi Yorkshirelass,

and welcome :)

State wise, I'm about as far away from you in the US as its possible to be, no winter snow here.
Anyway, no doubt we'll have some things in common.
