hi and happy new year

HI,
This is my first post to this forum.
I would like to wish you all a happy new year and hope for new things to happen to all of you.
I am hoping to move to the U.S. this year. My wife is educated as an Engineer but is ineligible to practice in this country. She can practice in the U.S.
Los Angeles and San Jose is where other members of her family are. We will be concentrating our job search in those areas.
Of course, I am researching the schools located in those areas. L.A. is very exciting due to some of the names that have come up in my searches. I hope we make it there before I get too old.
Not much martial arts info shared here. Just an effort to touch base.
