> We'll be offered support in getting visas and such, but I'd like to hear any anecdotes about the process.
Does "support" mean "Hi, I'm the lawyer who will make this all work, like I've done dozens of time this year, so most of your contact will be with my assistant, and my fees and the expenses are already taken care of." If not, you've got a lot of work to do.
WRT moving to NY (or anywhere for that matter).
(1) Why and by how much will moving improve your chances of success?
(2) How much will it cost in time and money to move?
Is (2) less than (1)?
Seriously - the absolute best case is that you spend a week moving. The more reasonable best case is that you spend a month (preparing to move and dealing with the move after you're there will also take time). The likely case is that you'll lose 2-3 months and you could lose more.
