American expat moms?

[twinsmom]

If you want to PM me with your email address we can start a message outside of the forum. I know I keep forgetting to look for updates on this thread.

Anyone going to the NFL game in London later this month? If so, would you like to meet up in a pub before the game?

I have only received a couple messages with email addresses...any more interest?

[veryseriousgirl]

Is anyone around this week to catch up? We're currently free Wed pm or Thu am if anyone would like to meet up.

hi everyone,

just thought i would forward this link in case anyone has forgotten to get their absentee ballot but still wants to vote

https://www.overseasvotefoundation.org/vote/home.htm?utm_source=getresponse&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=midyearcheckin&utm_content=Voter+Alert%3A+Last+Minute+Ballot+News+and+Assistance

if the link doesnt work, just go to www.overseasvotefoundation.org.

My first presidential election here i had no idea how long the turn around time from requesting the ballot to actually receiving it was. I ended up going to the embassy with hours to spare. Hoping to save someone from my past mistake. I think most states now let you print out a ballot - the ovf website above will break it all out for you.

hope everyone is well. looks like we're missing a doosy of an election season.

Thanks kmoon!

Hi ladies,

I was wondering if any of you have gotten their UK passport and had to go for the interview beforehand. I became a UK citizen over the summer, applied for the UK passport and will have my interview in a few weeks. I'm a bit nervous, not sure if its because i'm 33 weeks pregnant, and knowing what types of questions they ask would calm me a bit.

Happy to share my experiences thus far if anyone else is going thru it.

cheers,

K

Hi K,

It's been a while, but I think they just asked me to confirm what bills were in my name, what credit cards I had and what bank I used. It was really low key.

Hope that helps!

Bless your heart. I am in the process of filling out the paperwork but I have heard it is no biggie so don't stress. You will be fine.... and if they are mean, just tell them you are in labour and going to have that baby during the interview so they need to wrap it up.

[kmoon249]

LOL! i am carrying really big so that could be an option if things get dicey.

thank you both for responding. i had some problems early on with my first visa so every step has been a bit nerve wracking every since.

happy thanksgiving to everyone!

Hi everyone,

I'm 35 weeks pregnant with baby number one and would love to meet some other American moms! I've been in London for 8 years now, originally from CT. I know it's busy with the holidays coming up but if anyone's around over the next month or so it would be great to meet for a coffee.

Hi All,

I have a 5 year old. I'm from Florida, been living in London since 2004. Would love to meet up with ya'll.

I missed everyone the last time there was a meetup, I'd love to get together, with kids during the day or otherwise.

Super Bowl...anyone going to stay up and watch it? Do you know if any pubs showing it locally?

[JBoylen]

Superbowl...

Last year a few people tried to get pubs to show it but it did not work out.

We do get the via GamePass to get game online, but do not have a large home. If anyone wants to host, we can/will get the game online (can then hook up to a TV)...kid arrangements to be figured out after the fact,,,
