hi, my name is Selina. i am planning to move to florida permenantly in 2005 with my family. we are coming to Orlando 29th july - 19th august this year. i know many of you live in the UK and come to Florida for holidays but it would be great to chat to some of you about your experiences. if any of you actually live in Florida permenantly it would be great to hear from you. selina.
Selina, you luck lucky devil you. You'll have some very upset owners being real jealous of you now for letting us now your news.
You will just so love it.
I'm sure that you will get a lot more responses, including those who are already in Orlando/Florida.
All the very best of luck.

PS. of course I'm not jealous.....well maybe a little.....OK well more than a little.....in fact I'm positively green with envy....hmmm, maybe I could get a job as the HULK at Universal...I'll look into that

I am moving out to live there in the next week or so with my husband and son on a business visa. Are you going out on a nursing visa?

yes i'm sure people will be jealous of me getting a green card but let me assure you i think i deserve it. my husband and i have wanted to move to the US for many years and as you all know there are very few ways you can do it. one way is to become a nurse and be sponsered and thats what i've done. i spent three years at university to train to become a nurse and have spent the last year working in the dreaded NHS to get the experience i needed to be sponsered. i now have to take the NCLEX nursing exam to become registered in the USA and once i've passed that i have to wait another 12-18 months for all the green card etc to be processed. in total thats 6 years of my life! so as you can see it was not handed to me on a plate. i knew that this was the only way i could get a green card so i went and did it. i just have to pass the exam and i'm really home and dry. wish me luck and i'll see you there!
I'm a Brit living in the USA....MASS right now.... Orlando full time in around 3 years ...but I'll have a home there from Christmas..I have a few English nurses coming to stay with me while they work in Orlando....sort of bed and breakfast thing.....ones been working towards moving to Orlando for years..now his wife and kids want to stay in England.....so I've offered him a room if he wants to work here for just 6 months or so at a time....and for any other nurses doing the same thing.....quote:Originally posted by uknurse

Its a bit of a long trek, OB, but yes it is one way to a green card. Sunnybank was thinking of training to be a nurse at one time. They also need physios and that is what my son is thinking of doing.

Why you guys( UK ) so wanted to living here (US-Florida). Just wondering is that better living in Florida ? and what the reason ? I 'd like to move there too, but wan't to make sure first..it's that worth it (before I moved)?
Yes you could say that its a completely different life in England its cold and boring and rubbish theme parks but out there it has alot more to offer and is just great.
But people say it's too hot & humid in the summer time and the bugs, hurricanes, flood? Compare it with California...Why you guys not choose there ?[:I]
