Forever, If England accepts you, I assume that you are leaving a country (Yours) for a better life, not to burden the state, However 2-5 years if your good and don't claim State benefits

marry her first. then apply for LPR status based on marriage to a US citizen.  She can get work authorization within 90 days after your marriage.  File the I-130 and work auth papers immediately after your wedding.  Good luck and congratulations!!!

When you are legally married, you will have to apply for marriage visa.  If it is granted, then they will give you 2 years provisional residency to you as a family member of an EU citizen, and in that 2 years, you will still have to pay over sea prise as a student.  If you are still married after that 2 years, then you will be able to apply for Leave to Remain Indefinite, but I am not too sure if you can drop your tuition price with this status.  I think if you get British nationality your price will drop, but you have to be staying in UK legally for a few years (some people say 5 years, others say 10 years) to apply for that.  \nSo, even if you get married, you will not be entitled to pay the same amount of tuition fee as EU citizen for at least 2 years.  I am sorry.  But you'll be entitled to work full time legally. That's what I can tell you for sure.

If you have a sponsoring employer and your degree has been certified as equivalent to a US degree, the process can take as little as two or three months depending on where you live.  But you have to check whether there are still H1B visas available.  They  get used up quick.  The guy that said there must be interviews is wrong.  Check out this website for processing times. https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp.

G'day Bryan24,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThe first thing is to find a job. It depends on what sort of qualifications and experience you have as to what your best options are. It also depends on how long you are hoping to stay there.\n\nThe second thing is obtaining permission to work in the UK. You may need a sponsor but it depends on the type of migration.\n\nI have attached links both on migration and job sites.\n\nRegards

Your spouse cannot work in the UK with that visa, she needs a working visa instead. But if you have relative or friends, your spouse could try to ask them for a "black-job" but if she got caught then she has to leave UK right away and coming back is a "mission impossible"

No problem with it. If he has a relatives in Canada, who will take his finansial obligation, if he has a permission to stay in UK, then - no problem for sure.It will take 2-3 days.

If you have a status in Malaysia that is deemed as "permanent" (i.e. your work/study there for an extended period of time) then yeah no problem.\n\nIf you are in Malaysia temporally (i.e. as a tourist) then you/your fiancee need to apply in your country of residence.\n\nCheck with the US consulate where you are applying but in general the above holds true.

K-1 or fiancee visa will normally take around 3 months unless if you'll be placed in AR or admin review.  \n\ntourist visa doesn't take that much time.

First you have to get her a K-1 Fiance Visa, whith which she can enter the country.  Then you have to marry her, and apply to adjust her status to permanent resident.  You must remain married for at least 2 years otherwise she will lose her legal status.\nUsually it takes about 6 months to 1 year to adjust status and receive permanent residency.

You normally have to have been living with your partner for 2 years. If you are not living together or haven't been living together very long, there are other options. Are you planning on getting married, because he could always get a Fiance Visa and then you have to marry within 6 months. That's what I did, because although I had been with my partner for over a couple of years, we had only been living together for 6 months. Good luck : )

It all depends on what her current Visa status is in the UK at the moment. Is she working? Is she a student? if she is working for how long? There are many routes for a individual to claim a settlement visa and it all depands on her current circumstances I recommend you find a Immigration consultant from www.OISC.gov.uk this website can put you in touch with a specialist Immigration lawyer or adviser depending on the level of advise you need.

Depends upon two things: \n\n1.your visa status and the work permit. Typically the process involves getting a sponsorship from a US based employer (H1) or a foreign based employer (L1). \n2. Particular skills that you have. Both H1 and L1 are temporary work-permit visas, so to get a permanent job, you would have to convert either one to a immigrant visa and that requires getting Government approval for your particular field of expertise, and whether immigrants or citizens are available to fill that role.

My friend is on this Initiative at the moment and from what she has researched (she has seen an immigration lawyer in London) it doesn't look like they will be extending it.\n\nBUT again it would be better if you talked to someone from their offices. Also (just some extra info) I think England are running something similar too.\n\nMy friend has had alot of problems in this area but basically she's planning on using the Fresh Talent as a way of getting onto a point system, whereby if you earn a certain amount of money per year you are then eligiable for permanent residency.

It's an absolute nightmare.  There are a limited number of visas granted to British citizens each year, and they are usually snapped up within 36 hours of being available.  Usually big corporations get them for their UK employees who are working in the US.\n\nIf it's at all feasible, he might consider going to Canada first.  It is much easier for a Brit to emigrate to Canada, and it is much easier for a Canadian to emigrate to the US.\n\nGood luck.

Apologies on behalf of the rest of these jokers who think it is their business to tell you who you can or cant spend your life with. I would suggest getting maried first in the UK. You can find out what is required from your nearest registrar in Edinburgh there is one on Victoria street. It is very easy to get married in Scotland (but im not sure what visa he will need to enter into UK in the first place, a tourist visa should be fine though), and usually you can get married 14 days after you register. Then you will need to get him a spousal visa to stay in the UK, the best way to do this would be to apply through an agency, all non eu citizens are allowed to apply for a spousal visa by being married to a eu citizen. The best way to go about this is to go through an agency such as breytenbachs 8heir website is www.breytenbachs.co.uk or 1st contact www.1stcontact.co.uk. An agency will do it more proffesionally and there is more of a chance that the visa will be approved.
