This is a tough situation, I can imagine. I don’t dare to give you suggestions or advice as I’m not in an expert’s situation, and I have confusions of my own. But maybe you can talk to someone who can help you find out which option is more preferable for you, or even if there is a third option (like him moving to London with you???).

There is another option. Some people do not agree with him, and do not like him. But I like his bold way of thinking, his being very realistic, and very streight. Talking about “Dr. Holakouee”. He has a radio program and a TV one (on “Andisheh”). Maybe talking to someone who looks at the situation from completely another point of view, can help. You can find his website and call him on one of his programs. If you need more information about him, drop me a line, and we’ll talk more.

It’s difficult to be in such situation. Just know that there are people whom you don’t even know personally, and they wish you the best. I’m one of them.
Be happy and good luck :)

Dear Nava, Thank you so much for your nice comment. I also used to read your blog for a while and enjoy it, but then I stopped reading English blogs (as well as writing one myself!) Should get to your blog to catch up with the posts I’ve missed :)

I will sure think about your suggestion. We have actually talked to a lot of people about the situation. Everybody told us that I should come to London for at least one year and then see what happens after that. My partner should stay in the U.S. for at least 3 more years because of his PhD. So, I think the best option would be if I get a job in the U.S. (for which we should look forward to see if Mr. President can do any magic about with the present economy!) For now I’m looking forward to my next month trip to the U.S.

Again, thanks for your kind and caring email. Hope we stay in touch. :)
