Have you ever thought about a move to the USA? But do not know where to start?
Here are 5 beginners tips to get that move to the USA started
We get a lot of messages of where to begin, and so we have decided to do an updated series, now we have lived here for 2 years. Covering:
- Where to start, the basics
- How did we get here and would have done anything different
- What advice we would give to others wanting to move
In this first video lets start with the 5 things to get you on you way.
1. VISA
2. Finances
Taxes.
a. Does your country have a tax treaty with the US
b. If you continue to earn money in your home country you may need to file taxes in both countries
c. Does the state you are thinking about have State Income taxes
2. Banking – You will need to hold bank in both countries
3. Will you need to transfer money back and forth?
a. TransferWise vs your Bank
3. Criminal Record
Basically, don’t have 1. If you do the process for application can be very protracted. You will need likely need to consult your immigration attorney
4. Healthcare needs
Research healthcare options. The US can be overwhelming with how they run healthcare and their a lots of misconceptions and assumptions (I know as I had a lot)
You will really want to look into the best options and this varies state-by-state and by programs available to you. Especially if you have a chronic illness. If successful in the move, you will need to manage the transition period of moving your healthcare needs from the UK to a new provider here. Stock up on meds needed.
5. Preparation
There is plenty you can do ahead of time:
1. Consult and immigration attorney
2. Consult a tax attorney
3. Get you documentation in order: Passports, Birth Certificate, Medical record, parental details, education background
4. Research Driving License options
5. Research where you might want to live (if you have that freedom)
6. Research moving options
