How can I get a Visa to live in England with my boyfriend for the next 2 years if I am from the US?

Question

I do not have a degree so I do not qualify for the short list of work visas. What I need is a Visa that will allow me to stay in the country and work.

Answer 1

If you do not qualify for any of the work visas then your only option is the fiance/marriage option, if not you can visit for a period of no more than 6 months - without a visa - providing you can prove that you can support yourself for the duration of your stay.

The latter option does not allow you to work - but beyond those two choices there are no more.

Edit:

MomMom - U.S. citizens are not eligible for the working-holiday makers visa.

Answer 2

talk to your embassy

and not y!a

Answer 3

i think you can apply for a long term holiday visa.  then they review you later.

Answer 4

i'm assuming if you cannot obtain a work visa, you and your boyfriend need to get married and provide a valid marriage license to the consulate for a visa on the grounds of marriage.

that's the only other way i can think of.

Answer 5

umm.. i donno y u askin me?

Answer 6

If you are under 25 you can apply for a working holidaymakers visa, or try to go to a school here in the UK.  

Else I'm afraid you've got to get married!
