Good luck with that. But won't you need a work permit?

My wife is from the US so I'm going on a spousal visa.

Hope it goes well for you. My former CWU Branch Secretary took EVR and moved to New York a couple of years ago. His wife was a US citizen too. When he went to the Registry Office to get married they asked if it was so that she could get UK citizenship, and he replied that it was so that he could get US citizenship!

He is a big England cricket fan and was gutted to find that he couldn't come back for the England v Australia Test series the following year, as he wasn't supposed to leave the USA for 12 months as part of the citizenship process.

We got married in the US 4 years ago. We've been planing on settling there for a while now.
