I started my PhD (humanities) in October (self-funded). My problem is that my partner has been head-hunted for an amazing job in New York and this is a once in a lifetime job offer, but I don't want to quit my PhD (we go together or stay together) and I can't afford to do 6 years of the US PhD from scratch including the masters years (I have my MA already). Does anyone have any experience of something similar happening - has anyone/ does anyone know anyone who has transferred to US universities from the UK? Can I finish from New York, and if so would this affect my status as a home student?
I know the best thing is to ask the universities directly, but I want to try and get an idea of other people's experiences before I start making formal enquiries.
Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
