    Matt & Summer.....welcome to America ! My name is Mike and my wife Jodi and I live in Columbus, Ohio and we are really enjoying your channels. We just discovered you both from THIS channel believe it or not. We've sensed watched many videos and subscribed to "The Luxury Home Show" channel and we really enjoy your tours of homes in the UK. We've been UA-cam-hobbyists of sorts for high-end real estate channels. I'm sure you'r familiar with Ryan Serhant and his brand of channels. This is the first time I've commented on your video. We literally discovered you guys on the video from a number of weeks back when you announced we're "coming to America". We've enjoyed getting to know you and witness your various experiences in the US and Miami as you've found a rental to call home for a while (love the Restoration Hardware "cloud" couch you guys have) When I first discovered you both I first thought, "Okay here we go again with a young beautiful couple who are very wealthy and with beautiful lives...(Think "Kardashians") and your channel is totally the opposite. You both are very REAL sincere lovely people. You guys have such great personalities, as well as being two beautiful human beings. We enjoy getting to know you more and sharing your experiences as you become residents in the US. I'm really looking forward to the high-end premium homes you'll be showcasing on the Luxury home Show channel....if you ever make it to Columbus, Ohio we'd love to see you and welcome you to our city in the Midwest. Cheers to you both and once again....Welcome to America....we're thrilled to have you here !.......Mike

    It’s still 5 hours in the winter but the 4 hours difference is when the clocks change as the US normally doesn’t do it as the same time as the UK it’s about 2 weeks before both sync to 5 hours FL 8 hours CA. Wish you both well

    Welcome to the U.S.! I used be an immigration paralegal and filed all types of US work visa and green card applications, so I know the amount of time, stress, conversations, cost, and effort that goes into this process for all visas, but especially for the O-1s. It’s no easy feat. You should be proud of yourselves-the threshold for that visa type is incredibly high! I’m not surprised the application was 600 pages long. Hhaha And now I do it all from the in-house side for my employer, so I’m entrenched in it every day.
    I hope you’re enjoying Miami! Try to get up to Chicago if you can this summer! Summertimechi is the BEST, and the food and outdoor and neighborhoods are the best! Would love to meet you! Keep the videos coming! Loving the apartment content, too.❤❤❤

    With a green card, you then have access to our coveted SBA backed loans up to $5 million to buy US based businesses. The SBA says if you don’t have a green card or citizenship, you need a US citizen to own at least 51% of the business you want to buy, and they have to get the SBA loan.

    Yeah it’s the true the women are nice at the us embassy (London), I had a guy (maybe the only guy there) and he grilled me like a fish for 25mins , then he disappeared, came back and said…approved.
    I’d say , one thing , have proof of funds , like a bank account print out. Their main concern seems that you might overstay and that you don’t have enough money to cover your expenses.
