U.S. Citizen wanting to *PERMANENTLY* move to the UK? How to do this?

Question

I studied abroad last year and the UK and decided that is my home- my student visa was short term though and I am back in the US. I really want to go back to the UK to live permanently- London or Glasgow preferably - but I'd take where I could get. What I looked into while I was there seemed pretty hopeless for Americans to make the move permanently. (I found lots of temp programs) I would also need to finish College- if I had to start over in the UK I would.

*ANY* info & help please??!!

I posted this in immigration already (where it seemed more befitting) I only got one answer asking all about my family- but with no real advice on how to make the move. Here is what I answered to her... My family would not come- but we'd stay in touch & visit, not much of my family is still living anyway- no family in the UK- but I made friends there while studying abroad...

I just need details on *HOW* to do this

Answer 1

I'm sorry but as you have already found out, for an American to try to move here is pretty hopeless unless you have a shed load of money to invest, are being transferred by an American company with a branch over here, or you can meet the criteria on our new points tier system.  The problem here is that whether we like it or not, any citizen of the EEA (European Economic Area) takes precedence over any job on offer.

It may seem very unfair to you but we would have the same problems trying to get to the US even though our respective countries are supposed to be allies
