Moving to the US?

[MayandGeorge]

Hi all,
This may be out of most peoples knowledge (since this is a British site) but I was wondering wether anyone had any thoughts, opinions or knowledge on it. Me and my husband are trying to start a family. We have been looking around it Britain but last week I had an idea to maybe consider looking at immigrating to the states.
It would be easy to get a visa as my husband is a consultant anethatist and works for a company who operates in America. We like the look of Sugar Land, Katy, in Texas. If anyone had anything on these subjects we would greatly appreciate it. Also has anyone been to Sugar Land as it would be useful to know about It a little more. I have been to the states before with my husband as we are both major disney fans! We even went there for our honeymoon- I know right! Classy!

Thanks for all your help,
May xx

You'd do better posting on the Living overseas bit.

Why not look at the Living Overseas boards. There are lots of posters who live in the US.

Great minds mummytime

Lots of expats in Houston area but....... I personally wouldn't live in Texas. We lived in Chicago for 4 years and a friend moved down to Houston - she advised me to run for the hills if my DH's company ever suggested a move there. Just sayin'!

I am American and also wouldn't live in Texas but I am sure some bits are nice!

Watching this thread as would consider a move when I finally finish ophthalmology training... Need to just do licensing exams though...

Few family members live in Austin which is an amazingly fun place to be.
San Antonio just down the road too.

I would live there but not in summer, far too hot for me and no one leaves their houses or cars because all they want is air conditioning.

Just curious but is it mainly due to the extremely hit summers that people say they would not choose to live in Texas?
