I am confused. Is this for a k-1?
Are you going to keep postponing your embassy interview until you have a
job in CT?

Rockgurl,  I hope something turns up for you soon.

I've read your previous posts but you wouldn't consider taking that
job in Texas?  I realize it's a contract for 2 years but at least you
would be then rooted in the U.S. I would think it would be easier for
you and your partner then to travel back and forth to see each other
rather than trips back and forth from U.K.  Maybe I'm wrong?

Good luck in whatever your decision is.

Thanks Debbie! Appreciate that! :)

Hi Margaret. I know what you mean, and really I have given it a lot of
thought, but truly, although it was a very difficult decision, I cannot
commit to another 2 years apart. Right now I am freelance and make a lot
of money in London and if it were not for awkward immigration officers,
I would be able to travel to the US whenever I wanted. Living in Texas,
I would be under contract and working set hours, hence earning set
money. I would have less flexibility to travel and it's a hell of a long
flight from Texas. Heathrow to JFK is easy in comparison. Also, I know
absolutely no-one in Texas. At least in London I am home and near my
family. I cannot see myself living apart from my partner for 5 years in
total...it's inhumane. I know I had my green card in my sights and let
it go, but I know I must wait for something that is right for me. I have
spoken to the director of my nursing agency and they are totally behind
me and first on the list for the next job in the North East. Who
knows...maybe I'll actually end up exactly where I want to be. I think
in this case, patience is a virtue. Thank you for your input.

Good luck, Rockgurl :) It'll all work out!
