Thanks Julie.

It still seems kind of weird that my BIL must ask the government for permission to work when his wife and kids are all American citizens.

He was pretty bored when he was down here for six months the last time around. He is used to being busy with necessary stuff and six months of more or less vacation drove him nuts.

I love to hear that to some the United States is still a desireable place to come. Doesn't it seem that we hear nothing but how we are hated around the world? Just getting on this forum and reading how our British friends still think we are a nice place to be is really uplifting.

God Bless you all.
