My wifes position is with NIEHS, so although it is with a government body the specific visa(J-1) is the problem. They are looking into finding a different visa. There seems to be a different culture between the USA and UK concerning CAH. Liam had a blood test when we were living in France 3 years ago and another one 18 months ago when we came back to the UK. We have an endocrine appointment at Great Ormand Sreet Childrens Hospital every 6 months so the need to have blood tests 3 times a year is totally alien to us. If that is the norm, we will probably fly back to the UK during the first year since that will be cheaper!!! ThanksShaun P.
