@@robbflynn4325 How did you do it?

[@robbflynn4325]

@@GOATLAVISH777 Hi. I first emigrated here with my parents in 1983. Only stayed for a few years before returning to the UK. Was actually easier for me to return because the Green Card I was issued with back then had no expiration date, ones issued these days expire after a fixed period. Even after all the years away things like my social security number remains the same! From what I am learning things have tightened up, first following 9/11 and now Covid. Unless you have a very close relative or half a million pounds to invest you will find it difficult to reside here permanently, God knows they are even making it difficult for tourists. Also if you have a criminal record forget it. Canada may be an easier option, but then again with Covid who knows? Good luck to you whatever you decide!

[@katiehuel9765]

This video is exactly what I needed right now, I just got back home to America after visiting my boyfriend who lives in England. The goodbyes are horrible but hearing your story puts my heart and soul at ease. I hope one day we can have what you guys have ! LDR are so hard but so worth it, thank you for sharing your story and journey with us!

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

I’m so glad you shared your story! Goodbyes are so hard- whenever we have a hard day we think back to that as being the hardest part. Do you think you will move to England or would your boyfriend move to the US? Life is so much better together. Please keep us posted!

@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily omg thank you for responding! I can’t wait til the goodbyes are just a distant memory. We both are open with moving, it just depends on who’s more able to when we get to that point. We both agree we just want to be with eachother. Life is 100% much better together!

That’s amazing! So happy for you! The goodbyes are the worst. We look forward to hearing updates from your journey!

[@RebeccaNeffati]

I moved from the UK (Dorset) to the USA (Indiana) eight years ago, and I love it here. I still get a little homesick, and visiting family and saying goodbye every time is the hardest thing, no matter how many times you do it. I wouldn't change anything though, as the life I get to live out here compared to if I had still been living in the UK is second to none. My quality of life is so much better here in the USA. I have days when I cry because I miss my family and friends, and it's especially hard as I have aging parents (both in their 80s), but weekly Skype sessions help me stay connected to everyone. It's a huge change and takes time to adjust, but it is worth it.

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

So great to connect with you. I absolutely love your story. Thanks for sharing it! I haven’t been back in 10 years. It’s hard being away from my parents, but technology does make it better. Maybe we will see you when we get to Indiana. We are traveling all the states now and on our 27th in Virginia. We are hoping to be in Indiana next month 😀

Couple Qs... The camp counsellor scheme seems interesting. Do you remember who you went through, I see one called CCUSA? Also, I'm currently studying filmmaking at uni. How important was your filmmaking degree to getting your visa accepted? Cheers!

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Peter Shepherd that’s awesome, Peter! What school do you go to? CCUSA is what we went through. Honestly, the film degree didn’t matter at all 🤣 I would love to hear about your aspirations!

[@super8man807]

@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily That's a relief on the degree front as it's currently going tits up! I go to UWE in Bristol, foundation degree was in Derby. So did you need to have a well polished cv to be able to get a works visa? I understood it that you needed to be the best of the best in your industry in a competitive field to stand a chance, or is that not the case? It's funny, I just saw you last video and i'm also setting up a wedding videography company! Can we just swap lives?

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Peter Shepherd hahah I do miss England! One of those grass is always greener situations, haven’t been able to see my family in the UK for a few years now. In terms of working in the US on a j1 visa, you don’t have to be the best of the best or have degrees. When I worked in the US for a camp, the first year I tried Camp America, and it didn’t work out well for me, I couldn’t find a position. The second year I tried CCUSA, went to a camp fair I think in Cardiff and found a position with a camp almost right away. I would look up camps that are attending before you go and see what they are looking for so you can appeal to their needs, be OUTGOING! They are looking for enthusiasm, energy and experience. If you have any experience working with kids that’s beneficial, but not essential.

[@jllewellyn8000]

Looking forward to me, my wife and kids moving from uk to USA. Lots of research happening lol the USA is huge! So states that seem to be top of our list for our lifestyle are Texas (Houston) Florida (Venice) and New Hampshire. I’m sure the hardwork now will all be worth it! Good video buddy 👍🏻

Hey. Im only 13 but i want to plan ahead and be SAFE AS POSSIBLE. I want to permanetly move. Any tips?

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Great to connect with you! Are you from the UK? When you are 18 you could apply for a summer camp as a camp counselor in the US to get a feel for it. I went through CCUSA and worked for a camp called Camp Cayuga. It was awesome because the visa allowed me to travel after the camp ended and I went all over the US. You could always look into fields that offer visas to study so when you are a bit Older you might have some opportunities.

Amazing story. I'm 16 and am just not sure what to do with my life aha, currently living in South Yorkshire UK, and with the subjects I have chosen for A-Levels and my interests, doing something in games makes sense for me. With a lot of research, it's clear all the companies I believe I would enjoy working at more are in the US, and all the US salaries when it comes to game development/design seem to be much much higher on average. As much as I think the US looks awesome though, I just don't think I could move from the UK and family etc, guess I'll just see what I end up doing and if I actually figure out what I wanna do as a career. Wouldn't surprise me if I end up moving though. It's great to see how well things turned out in your move :)

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

What a great outlook you have and unique journey. I’m sure there are places in the UK to pursue your passions- hopefully as you continue with school it will become more clear what you want to do. Leaving your family behind is so hard and definitely understand where you are coming from there.

[@simplesod9552]

So... to sum up.... Step 1. Start young (preferably 18-20 yrs old) Step.2. Apply for a Camp Councillor Job at a U.S. Summer Camp. Step. 3 Propose to a U.S. Citizen Step. 4 Apply for a Fiance Visa (approx $1,500) also known as a K1 Visa Step. 5 Move to the US once the Visa has been granted and get married to your fiance within 90 days of landing on US soil. Step. 6 Apply for a work Visa and get a job (any job will do... Ideally being able to show that you are earning legitimately and supporting yourself and your partner). Step. 7 Have a child or two Step. 8 Apply for full US Citizenship... Step. 9 Buy a bottle of Champagne and celebrate once your US Citizenship is granted.

hey there. i’m a 15 year old kid from the UK, and all my life my only goal really has been to move to the US. i’ve found myself invested in their politics, the environment, the weather, and the people. would you be able to let me know an approximate budget you would need for a move like this? i’ve tried researching this myself but can’t find any exact answers

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Hi! Great to connect with you! When your 18 would you consider working at a kid’s camp? That’s what I did and it was nice to be able to experience the states on a visa that the camp provided and travel for a little while after. Something like that you don’t have to have a lot of money saved up because the visa and lodging is provided, but if you want to go out, go shopping, and travel afterwards you will want to budget for that, but just like you would back home. Hope that helps!

im in the exact same situation as you,im 15 from the uk and ive been wanting to live there my entire life!can’t seem to find an approx budget either though x

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

If you work at a kids camp they help you pay for travel costs! I wouldn’t dwell too much on money if you are able to make some working while you visit. If you do something like at camp, meals are including and lodging. I took about £1,000 with me and made about $2,500, and that was more than enough to travel for a month after I was done working and I went to a bunch of different states afterwards.

I love your story! It made me nostalgic! Definitely check out VisaJourney.com- I found a great community there and everyone was so helpful! Do you plan on getting married? I flew over on a fiancé visa. I think the paperwork is “doable” if you pay attention to details but a lot of people do hire lawyers for the process.

You have no idea how much this video means to me. It feels almost surreal after watching this.

I met the love of my life last year, and just like you, we both worked there again this year. We both want to be together, but it’s tough since she lives in Alabama, and I live in England. We’ve talked plans over too many times to list, but I think it’s most likely that I’ll move over. Seeing this video has given me so much hope for that future with her because that is all I could ever want.

So great to connect with you! NYC is Morgan’s favorite place in the world! The easiest way IMP is to find seasonal work (that can lead to year-round work), because there is such a need for staff and employers are used to process of provided work visas and making it simple for employees.

This is a really lovely video brother, I’m here as a 22 year old graduate currently working in the corporate sector. I’ve always thought of moving to America and I think I’m going to take the leap.. especially because of the job opportunity in the media sector. The good thing about my situation is that my Mums whole family are American residents and they’ve all been telling me to come stay out there because I’m really young with nothing to lose so the cost of moving is literally just a plane ticket for me.

@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily You're welcome! Every single American who becomes a camp counselor will swear by the experience, but they of course never put in context of what an advantage it is for traveling the US. They all simply say how great 'camp' is, being a counselor, mentoring, making friends and generally having an amazing summer at a location that offers unique activities and experiences. I imagine it's similar around the world, however, the US offers so many opportunities simply b/c of size and access. Cheers

Thanks so much for this, have never seen a video of someone going to Michigan! Our stories are SO similar, I did a year abroad in Ohio (and hated it actually, it was really rural and didn't have a car), but then moved to Michigan Ann Arbor to work for Dominos corporate over summer! I am dual citizen btw which is very fortunate. I am now back in the UK about to graduate in finance, and I am mainly applying to USA jobs as there is just so little opportunity in the UK atm! I am looking at going back to MI, or maybe PA as most starting jobs at big companies seem to be in rural areas for some reason. The hardest thing for me as well is leaving family, I'm 23 and am so close with them all, especially grandparents and my sister has a baby on the way so it'll be tough! If I end up in MI I'd love to meet up for a coffee or something?:) How did you get over the culutre shock in USA? I found it quite hard as everything is money there, the people are completely different, and there is not much infrastructure like trains as in the UK. The money and career side of things look great however! Sorry for such a long msg

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Hahaha yeah, I am living in a very rural area right now so I can totally relate to that! It's actually less than an hour from Ann Arbor. Did you like it there? We went to a Real Madrid game at the Big House and really liked it there! We actually met in PA! So cool that our stories are so similar. Let's definitely do coffee when you are back in the midwest! Whereabouts in the UK are you from? It's so hard to leave family, but at least you can always visit and vice versa. Covid has really been hard on me. We were planning on going over in 2020 :/ There was definitely a culture shock at first, but I didn't mind it much. Now I am so used to it and it definitely feels like home. It's probably easier for me though because after meeting Morgan we were always together and with her family. I imagine you probably made good friends at work too. That helped a lot! when are you thinking of coming back? So glad we connected!

@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily Real madrid at the big house that sounds fantastic! Yeah for sure, I loved Ann Arbor. Coming from Ohio farmland it was a very welcome change haha. I was there during summer 2020 so was quite locked down but still walked all around and some bars and restaurants were open. That sucks, UK finally getting back slowly so hopefully you can visit soon! I'm from Cambridge (but not posh) and studied in Bristol, which is why rural america was such a shock especially with no car haha. When I go back, I will get a car week 1 - is it easy to get financing over there or would I do it through a UK bank? Yeah I made good friends and had a very american gf (partly why I'm going back haha but mostly due to career opportunity and wanting to live abroad while young), but I deff found it harder to connect with americans over there than at home for some reason. Definitely met some amazing people though! Maybe Ohio was a micro climate lol. So good to hear it feels like your home, that is what I want:') Without Morgan do you still think you would have met lots of people and had a good experience?

@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily I didn't specialise in anything. I've just finished my 3 year long degree. I'd love to find somewhere to work in America but im not fully qualified yet. I was considering doing a master's in America and getting a student visa but it seems expensive.

It definitely would add up! Please keep us posted - we’re excited for you!

@@AnonymousSuperTuber I live in the US right now. If you consider moving here, You need wall adapters. If you bring any electronics, make sure the electronics are DUAL VOLTAGE. The outlets use 110-120 volts in the US. The only major change is the street traffic lights. It does green then amber then red. then red, green, not red amber green

What visa did you go on. I’m wanted to relocate with my daughter for a year maybe more but I’m finding it hard to know what visa I should be applying for and tips on schooling would also be great.

Hello! The first time I went to the US it was on a J1 visa, which was a work/travel visa. I worked at a summer camp for 2 months and then got to travel after. When I moved permanently it was on a k1 fiancé visa, as we were engaged at the time. There are also a h1b visa that allows us companies to hire non us citizens for specialized jobs. A good starting point would be to check out visajourney.com they have lots of useful help for every type of visa. Thanks for watching and good luck!

I can never seem to find a camp in America in 24 and really want to move but struggling on either finding a job or way to move out just need a heads up

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Have you tried using CCUSA? That’s who I used and they were wonderful!

im from the uk and lived in CT for 5 years. No Im thinking of going back. Most places are better than the uk :). People dont know what they are missing. so much to see and do, Plus your not staying in one area saying opinions you have from a small area. Things change when you move, if your lucky you can become more worldly. Enjoy mate.

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Very cool! Never made it to CT, but plan fo visit! I can definitely see that. I really miss the UK but not enough to move back 😂. Hope to see you in the states. Thanks so much for connecting. It’s great hearing your story!
