I just realised that the annual Emigrate Show at Sandown Racecourse will be taking place this weekend.

Many more thousands of people seeking that 'better lifestyle' (all over the world - not only the USA) will be flooding into the show being fed all kinds of information about how 'easy' it is !

Take a look at:

then click on the 'exhibitors' and scan down to USA.......I don't recognise many names there. So I wonder who all the other 'experts' are ??

A lot of the people who exhibit there are one stop shops. These are best avoided. There is nothing to beat getting advice on things like a business purchase for E2 for example from several different and totally independant professionals who will all offer what you hope is an objective opinion. Where you have realtors, busines brokers, accountants and visa consultants all in house working for one business, it is difficult for you to get an objective assessment. I know of a lof of people recently denied E2s after working with one of these,
Personally I think these exhibitions are a bane, they feed on peoples hopes and dreams and not many people passing through them have any conception of how difficult this can be and is for a lot of people. It isnt like booking a holiday or even dare I say it even like buying a villa, it is a whole lifestyle choice and needs a bit more consideration than something which starts out as something to do on a Sunday afternoon, Needless to say the good business brokers and visa consultants dont go to them because they dont need to.
