Cable Forum - The Happy Thought Thread

I'm a fortnight behind with recent postings here Cobby.
I think the the green card allows you to reside and work in the US?

Do you still keep your UK passport?

And... was/is the packing all done? :shocked:

Happy thought - I went off for some warm spring and I came home to find that it's here too at last. :)

It's the equivalent of permanent leave to remain here, It allows you to live and work in the US and is valid for 10 years before it has to be renewed. I will still be a UK citizen & keep my passport. No packing done at all & so much to do!

Do you have a departure date?

Thanks all, I'll still be on here finding out what's going on in the Motherland :D

No departure date as yet. I've applied to apply for the Green Card & according to the website that application will be reviewed early/mid May. Then I have to apply with a load of other information, then the medical, then the interview at the US embassy. Will be at least a couple of months, then I have a month's notice at work, so July at the earliest.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Just completed another Parkrun 5k, results won't be in until this evening but although I came in 38th (was 29th last week but I don't worry about that too much as we don't start off all alongside each other) it appears I may have improved on my 24.03 PB by around 20 seconds - it's a shame my phone's GPS app isn't accurate enough to be sure however the guy who came in a couple of metres ahead of me said his stopwatch read 23.28 for him so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...:)

edit: times just came in, smashed my PB by 30 seconds and did it in 23.32! Landed :hyper:

Well done Russ. Keep chipping away at those times and eventually you will be coming in at sub 20. :tu:
