in a strange space

it's 3.5 months until we go on holiday to the U.S., and the plan is that as soon as we return from that trip we'll start working on getting Bex her U.S. residency so that we can move to Oakland in March of 2012

Have you considered the benefits of *not* moving to the US? If you are happy, then why not stay put and see how things continue to develop?

i'm not closing off any options out of hand, but at this point we're still planning on moving. but we're not really committed until we start the U.S. residency for Bex ... and we're not doing that until we get back from holiday* so i suppose one could say that to a certain extent we're still in a wait and see mode although we have taken some steps/trending toward our plan for moving.

* the only thing that would change that is if i suddenly landed a really good job offer in the U.S., at which point we would start Bex's paperwork immediately. this is all very unlikely given that i am not really applying anywhere in the US yet beyond a casual email conversation with an old friend and co-worker
