I am looking for all the advice/answers/help that I can get that are serious. I am 24 years old, I work and I am a college student. I am an American who plans to move to England within the next year or so. My boyfriend lives in England, and we have been together for almost 7 years now. I've been there to visit him numerous times and vice versa. I lived there with him in 2006 for 6 months on my passport. I have looked into the different types of visas in the past and the requirements. I'm thinking I will need to apply for the Fiance Visa because obviously we are unmarried currently. We want to marry eachother, and I am 100% serious about wanting to start a life in England with him, have a career and home there permanently. I want this more than anything in my life and I absolutely love England.

I am just still a tad bit confused with all the rules and visas now. I want to know also how hard is it for an American, such as myself, to be granted a visa like that? Is there anyone here who has done this before or know someone who has and their experience? I would really like to know everything that I can about this topic. I haven't done any visa paperwork or application and I already worry about it being rejected because obviously I would be crushed if that happened, so I want to avoid that.

Thank you for your help and time!

 

Sorry for the late response, but thank you to those who posted. I have just been busy, but I was able to look over the website and see what is required for moving to England. It sparked a question though, since in the state I live in doesn't require a visa for someone to legally get married, would it be easier if my fiance came over to me in the US and got married, and then I work on getting a marriage visa to settle over there?
