Has anyone relocated from the UK to Florida or the USA and used a relocation company who sort all your paperwork etc? If so are they necessary and are there any you would reccomend? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks :)

Just a small point - spending time there and living there are two very very very different things. Research carefully and don’t commit to long term until you really spend time there.

Follow Lisasj on YouTube. She's going through the process and recommends people/companies along the way.

Goodness Op… to say this will be a complex process is an understatement.

Suffice to say the US isn’t exactly encouraging of foreign business on its shores.

Good luck with the move. Are you familiar with Florida, and the state of politics there and in the US? It could be a huge culture shock for you. Most of the USA even thinks Florida is strange and they have a funny game to illustrate this by simply doing an internet search that is "your birthday" + "florida man" to see what news headlines surface. It gives you a taste of just how bizarre people can be there.
