Hi all, I'm the USC married to a UKC currently living in Bristol, England. We met on match.com in Feb 2005 and were married in California in Sept 2005. I applied for a spousal visa and entered the UK Feb 2006 to live with my fabulous new husband, even brought my doggy with me!

It's been rough living here and being away from my family, friends and the California sunshine! We are starting the DCF process this month, hoping to return back to California later this summer.

I have been looking into all the forms, requirements etc for DCF for a year now but I'm sure I will be confused and have questions along the way! I only hope when I have finished I can help others do the same!

B)

Feb 05 - met on match.com, spoke daily over Skype

Mar 05 - boy flew out to San Francisco to meet me, it was love at first site!

May 05 - I flew to Bristol, first time ever in England!

Sept 05 - boy flew back to SF, we got married!

Nov 05 - boy flew to SF for 2 week visit

Feb 06 - I moved with my dog to Bristol

****************

4 visits home for 2 weeks at a time during these 2 years

(very homesick and not happy living in England)

****************
