| Mar 7, 2016 at 22:47 | comment | added | Danny | But it helped make you into the @phoog you are today.....right? :) The wife is up for anything - it's the kids we're both worried about. As long as they forgive me someday.... | |
| Mar 7, 2016 at 22:43 | comment | added | phoog | Yeah, after I posted that comment I was thinking: it could be an exciting adventure for some couples, but it's unlikely to be a welcome plan for kids. I moved a few times as a child, and I hated it at the time. | |
| Mar 7, 2016 at 22:41 | comment | added | Danny | I've seen that mentioned elsewhere, and while I find it interesting, I don't think I could sell the family on it - this would be enough of an upheaval as it is. I think the normal route would be best for us - most of our situation is pretty straightforward. I'm just on the lookout for gotchas, but thanks. | |
| Mar 7, 2016 at 22:38 | comment | added | phoog | You could also pursue the Surinder Singh route to move under EU freedom of movement rules. These rules are much less restrictive. To do that, you'd have to establish yourself (for at least 6 months, I believe) in another EU country such as Ireland. This is obviously a bit of a hassle, and only you can decide whether it's more or less of a hassle than moving with your family under UK immigration rules. But you can certainly do it as a self-employed individual (which I assume you'd have to be to continue to work for your US employer). | |
