Moved back to UK, thinking about going back to US.
My husband and I (both British) moved back to the UK after 8 years in California at the beginning of 2025. We’ve bought a house here and both have stable jobs and my son is in a good school here but we worry about the future of the UK and the long term stability we have here. Cost of living is so high and we’ve taken a huge hit to our salaries. We’re doing ok but feel like our quality of life was far better in CA, we were making really good money and long term feel we could set up a strong financial future for our son.
But. We’d be leaving family and I worry about education in CA (I genuinely don’t know enough about it), but also worry I haven’t given it long enough here. We have an E2 visa open until April 2027 so ideally need to go back before then as it will be far easier to renew it vs apply for a new one.
Not sure what I’m looking for here but any POV is welcome. Has anyone repatted then gone back?
