Are you just a visitor, or are you meeting a potential fiance'...it all depends, honestly. \n\nAs just a visitor, I found that a visitor can stay as long as six months without a work visa, so long as they meet the following requirements:\n\n"41. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom as a visitor are that he: \n\n(i) is genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for a limited period as stated by him, not exceeding 6 months; and \n \n\n(ii) intends to leave the United Kingdom at the end of the period of the visit as stated by him; and \n\n\n(iii) does not intend to take employment in the United Kingdom; and \n\n\n(iv) does not intend to produce goods or provide services within the United Kingdom, including the selling of goods or services direct to members of the public; and \n\n\n(v) does not intend to study at a maintained school; and \n\n\n(vi) will maintain and accommodate himself and any dependants adequately out of resources available to him without recourse to public funds or taking employment; or will, with any dependants, be maintained and accommodated adequately by relatives or friends; and \n\n\n(vii) can meet the cost of the return or onward journey.; and\n\n(viii) is not a child under the age of 18.\n\n\nHope this helps!\nCheck the link if you need more info...\n \n\n42. A person seeking leave to enter to the United Kingdom as a visitor may be admitted for a period not exceeding 6 months, subject to a condition prohibiting employment, provided the Immigration Officer is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 41 is met.

I'm afraid not if you stay in the UK for 1 year or 14 years illegally you do not qualify. To get indefinate leave to remain you have to have spent a maximum of 5 years in the UK legally. So you or your friend will need to reapply. Because of the time periods invalid it more likely an incountry application would be rejected because of the overstaying and any attempt made once the individual has left the UK well that will depend alot on what the individual was doing for the period of overstaying and if they made any claimes to public funds and soon.\n\nall the best \n\nmgi1975

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"

I dont think this will give you any special disposition to immigrate to the UK.  \n\nTry the home office website for more information.  You will probably still need a Visa.

Most countries allow a citizen of the US to stay in the country for atleast 90 days without applying for a visa. Depending on what your visit is for (i.e. tourism, work) you should apply for a visa if you plan to stay longer than that. The link is for the state department they should have all the info you need. If you need to apply for a viasa give atlest a good month or two before you leave to apply it takes a while sometimes to process.

If you're going to visit from the US you don't need anything.  Visa Waiver Program will allow you to travel to UK without a visa for up to 30 days.  If you want to stay longer you should contact the British Embassy for details...

Britain has the visa waiver program for entries less than 3 months! If you stay longer, you will need to get one !!

Unfortunately, you can't just come to the US to live permanently without applying for some type of visa.  You can come to visit on the VWP for 90days, and just keep going home before you I-94 expires and then come back again, but eventually the CBP will deny you entry if done too often.   Or you can apply for a B-2 visa, which allows you to visit for up to 6 months and can be extended.  However, you will not be allowed to work while on the B-2 or VWP.\n\nYou can also file for the K-1 Fiance visa, which takes about 4-6 months to process, but that means you would need to marry within 90 days of entering the US.

No! Not unless they are issued a valid work visa.

OK..You have had some silly answers here..so to set the record straight....\n\nYES!! OF COURSE YOU CAN VISIT GERMANY WITHOUT A VISA!\nPoland is a member of the EU :-) No passport holder of a European Union country needs a visa to visit Germany (which is also a EU member state)...\n\nThough you will need a visa (for the moment) if you want to work there. Unfortunately Germany along with a number of other EU states has been very protectionist in it's employment policies. And has placed restrictions on citizens of newer EU member states such as Poland....however if you want , there are no such restrictions in UK, Ireland or Sweden :-)\n\n\n\nHere are some websites for you to check further details...

Is there a law in GB that prevents you from working in the country?  Probably not.  \n\nDoes an employer have to hire you?  No. \n\nHowever, if you are qualified and have graduated from a recognized college or university, you should be able to find a position.

Hi,\n\nYes you can work, but only for 1 year. But i would be better if you apply for a job from India and then come. Or if you wish to come then go to London or Midlands as their are lot of oppurtunities there.\n\nFor more details about UK Visa you can check the following website : \n\nwww.ukvisas.gov.uk\nwww.ukvisas.co.uk\n\nFor working in the UK you can go to following site\n\nwww.workingintheuk.gov.uk\n\nFor Immigration Rules\nwww.homeoffice.gov.uk

it probably won't make a difference.  the usual policy is that after 3 years, you can apply for perminant leave to remain, and after 5 years you can apply for citizenship.  but you cant have lived outside the uk for more than 6 months from your application date
