Just keeping everyone posted, the latest numbers from USCIS (the US government visa-processing service) indicate that our visa should be processed at or before August 2017, and then we would have 6 months to move to the US. So it definitely looks like late next year, or early 2018 at most!
Cheers,

Hi, you guys have had to put in a lot of effort to get to the US. When we went to see a lawyer about how to stay for longer than the 3 month ESTA he gave us the info on the process you are following. We did not have the money, nor the desire to take such a huge risk even if we had. He did say that a lot of these companies were unreliable so it is good to see that you have put in your homework. I think I saw an advert in one of the British Airways magazines for a company looking for people to put money in, I think it may have been the Hilton Group.
We decided to take the 6 month visa over 10 years. We have purchased a truck and travel trailer and will store it when we are back in the UK. I believe you can apply for an extension of up to 18 months which we will consider at some point I think.
I do hope your application goes smoothly. I think you will love touring the States, I am looking forward to it immensely.
Keep in touch with the forum members as no doubt you will be able to give us an update on your progress and on your trip when it becomes a reality!
Good luck! 8)
