India: French-Indian couple: WHERE to live? WHERE to marry?:

Hi Keymi, I am an Indian married to British Citizen. We went through really long journey of doing almost 2 years of long distance with meeting only once in 6 months for 2 weeks. We lived together for 6 months while planning for wedding and got married in India and later had ceremony in Italy (we thought it was romantic and easy access for his family to come) as we were not so keen to spend twice visa fees of £800 and instead we lived 18 months for New Zealand and now we are in UK after doing long visa process. Ofcourse we do need to think about long term where to live. One thing you would realize quickly and which I hadn't considered is that suddenly your parents and in laws seem to be getting old and they would also want to have a say in where you live. I would like to say one thing as you are EU Citizen, this is sort of loophole and we realized when we were looking at our UK immigration. It is easier for EU Citizen to bring a spouse to UK then it is for British Citizen. You might have to work for 6 months in France before you can bring him to UK, provided you want to live in UK longer ??? Also generally there are talks of UK to separate from EU from time to time. I think the best way to is to spend some time in both countries as it helps both of you to know the culture and understand each other better, know your travel preferences. Look at some travel brochures and visa procedures for both of you. Let family get involved in wedding and so on but not overpower them your both decision where do you want to finally live. I think they say that when you have kid you have to be at one place but I am not sure how much of that stability one want in their life ? How much you like travelling ? How do you both see future of your kids and your ageing family ? The most important thing in all this would be your strong relationship with each other and there would be outside influence. Different culture relationships aren't easy but they are great ! I wish you find country or place you can fall in love with and raise your family or while finding that place hope you can enjoy the journey of seeing the world.

United Kingdom: I Wish I had Known... Before Moving to United Kingdom:

- How long it takes to built relationships and how cold and lonely it feels in the beginning when you are new unless you take an initiative to forge good relationships? - How impolite some of the Brits are ? - How dirty london is ? - How everything is institutionalized ? - How set Brits are in their ways ? - How stressful life in London is? - How difficult it is to get visas? - How envious your family and friends would be when you say you are in London and how helpless you would feel when you cannot bring them here ? - How much stressful your life would be ? - How much ill informed / informed British public is about immigration ? How much of the immigration gets debated in this country that you start to wonder whether you are unwelcome? - Getting paid in pound doesn't mean you aren't spending in pounds. - What tea and biscuit does to Brits ? - How much weather affects your moods?
