Question
I am thinking of immigrating to London from the USA I have a small jewellery business and wondering if this is a good Idea. how hard is life in London. Does the goverment make it hard to relocate there?

Answer
Dear Michael

I am not really qualified to answer this question in full -you probably need to look at the home office's website to get some idea of current immigration policy.

At the moment in the Uk we are having a big debate about limiting immigration but this is aimed more at people from developing countries and asylum seekers.

If you business is portable you could probably set up easily over here for an extended stay and see how you like it.

Good luck

Graham
