    don't think they recognize any of the UK "qualifications" in this area.


    Chances of getting Green card / work permit on back of being a mortgage adviser I would have thought are very low ( alothough if other reasons like family mean you get in then its a possibility)

    I can get the green card in a blink of an eye in any event due to qualifications in other areas. I am marrying an American, so don't need a green card.

    Will check up on the mortgage broker issue.

    Their mortgages are much more fun with things like "wraps" and "assumed mortgages" You will love it plus no FSA
    I like to give people as many choices as possible to do what I want them to. (Milton H Erickson I think)

    Well that certainly sounds like fun!

    I forgot to add above that I already have a Visa to work in the USA since I have done for the last 10 years.

    Love conquers all - what more can I say?

    If it is a choice of being with him or having a job, he would win hands down.

    He could come here - I don't know yet - I was considering possiblities!

    aw thats really nice, I did wonder if you missed him at all

    At the end of the day if you follow your heart you can't go wrong - I'd be happy to have no money at all and have someone reciprocate 100% love

    You are lucky and I'm really pleased for you - get packing what r you waiting for?
