Subject: RE: BS: VaTam Should I go home?
Wow! I didn't expect to see this thread this morning. I wish it were so, Mary. You don't know how much.

I think JacquiC has explained it is very difficult for mixed nationality couples in the US.

TSO is only 61. I am 53. He has 4 more years before he can retire. I have never been able to put any aside for retirement except through the local government pension scheme the last 8 years I have worked in UK.

I simply can't afford not to work if I want to visit my family back home in Virginia or bring them here to visit me.

One thing is for sure. If I cannot get a job, I shall have to default on my Sallie Mae loan.

Thank you all, for your good wishes.
