from Montgomery, the birthplace of the Texas flag!Thanks for the welcome 
I actually lived in London, UK, for 14 years before coming here, still miss it sometimes.. not the food so much, but the people and the feel of the place.
Unlike most other Europeans, I didn't arrive here via the hi-tech or oil industries, but got a green card in the diversity visa program which is a limited amount of green cards the State Dept allocate via a lottery to people from smaller countries who fulfill certain criteria (no criminal record, certain level of education, clean health, these days they also look at how likely you are to find a job here)
Had my testicles poked at by a doctor in London, and arrived in Houston with an xray of my lungs on a cd-rom, to be processed Ellis Island style (except for the cd rom, obviously)
Anyway, here I am, looking forward to the future (and to getting a new drive belt in the mail )

I grew up in the Bayswater/Notting Hill area and also emigrated here (a quarter of a century ago) through Houston. You got the lottery visa eh? I had to go through years of bureaucracy and attorney's fees under the "unique & exceptional talents" category.

I didn't realize I had missed so much fun by being born here. We're glad you finally got here with your privates intact.
Oh yeah - so much fun. Imagine the DMV...now imagine the DMV 100X worse. You've just stepped into an INS office.

Now you're scaring me, Philip.
If you've ever taken a business quality class, you probably know that the classic classroom exercise to demonstrate "bad process" is to try to flowchart how a driver's license office works. That became Edward Deming's "bad process" poster child.

Hey, you're lucky you have an 'exceptional talent', I've got a useless MA in history of ideas (from the UK), without this lottery thing I'd never ever been able to settle here
Anyway, Brits always get envious about not being able to take part in the diversity visa program (except if they're born in Northern Ireland), but then again it's easier for you fellers to move to Canada, Australia and you don't lose your citizenship (and thereby the right to live in Europe) like I will when I get my US citizenship (unless the Danes change their laws, which they might this year)
