Have scanned a few pages of threads, but couldn't seem to find anything. Perhaps this is all pie in the sky, but DH and I are considering emigrating to the US. As he has cousins and an aunt in North Carolina, we were thinking (after an initial look into it yesterday,) maybe Wilmington, as it has a film industry that DH could possibly get a job in. (He's a video editor and I'm a self-employed 'cello teacher.) We'd probably have to go for employment based, third preference application, (if that's right?), and are aware it would be a great culture shock for us all. But with DD wanting to get into comic art, and DS wanting to get into the gaming industry, we think it would be preferable for them to start off where they'd have a better chance of getting into those 'scenes', iyswim.
So, what's it like, roughly? The immigration process, the actual move - it all seems very complicated, but then, not having moved house for ten years, I'm figuring it probably would be for me!
