[Chrissy25 0]

i'm the british citizen and my hubby american, we have been living here in the states for a yr and a half with my greencard. i am currently 25 weeks pregnant and my hubby and i have decided to move back to england after the baby is born, probably july time. we are wonderfing if anybody has experience moving back to the UK. Any ideas how long it will take for my hubby to get the visa? or is there any website that someone can recommend us? plus as our baaby will be born in the states do we have to file a seperate visa for her?

any help please

thanks chrissy

I am american and my husband is british. We planned to move to the UK after we married here, and the process was pretty straighforward and easy. We went to the conuslate to apply in person and waited there for 2 days after we applied and my visa was in my hand. I can give you some tips for your interview- take all evidence of your relationship with you. We had loads of pictures, letters, bills, all our marriage stuff , etc etc.

We are now in the process of moving back to the states, and 4 months in. I can say that me getting to the UK was a hell of a lot easier than getting him here. So make sure you are sertain that you dont want to change your minds later. The child, I believe, will have to apply too.

We did it...I second the recommendation for www.uk-yankee.com. If you have all of your information already gathered from going through the US immigration process, getting things together for the UK side is a snap!

Its unlikely that you would have to apply for anything since the child will be/is a US citizen by birth (since it will be born here, correct?) and since his/her Father is a US citizen... And since you have a green card, if you aren't gone too long you would be able to apply for a re-entry permit I believe..

They're moving to the UK, not the US.

Yes I am aware of that but I was commenting on another post where the poster said that the child would have to apply to come back..

I have noidea about the immigration questions - but just want to say CONGRATS on the baby - not sure if you remember me from way back when... you actually got married 1 day after us! We're going to start trying for a baby soon, too... just wanted to popin and congratulate

Alan... cant remember his VJ name, moved back to England with his wife a few months ago, and he said it was SO simple compared to immigrating to the states. Took hardly any time at all according to him. If i ever remember what his VJ name was I will let you know, but I dont think he hangs around here much anymore.

I know that hardly helped, but from what he told me it was WAY easy and just thought I would let you know!! Good luck with the baby!!

The friend who introduced me to Paul moved to England to be with her British husband. They got married in Jamiaca, sent their visa packet to the British consulate in Chicago and a week later she was on her way. The visa packet was a joke compared to the K1 129 - it was about 5 pages long. You can even apply in person at the nearest British consulate and get it the same day.

I'd agree with the word of warning from others though - it will be a headache if you guys decide to move back to the US in the future. But good luck if it's what you really want!
