On postcards, he appears to be in America? (6,3,4)

I believe the answer is:

across the pond

'america?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'on postcards he appears to be' is the wordplay.
'appears' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters appear after others).
'to be' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'postcards'+'he'='onpostcardshe'
'onpostcardshe' with letters rearranged gives 'ACROSS THE POND'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for across the pond that I've seen is " America".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
