That sounds really expensive and I was hoping to avoid having to pay someone to give me advice, which is why I posted here. In the hopes that someone here could shed some light on the subject for me and maybe share similar experiences with me.

Immigration questions, please help....

I've been looking at the whole immigration process for my fiance to move from the States to the UK and so has my fiance, the whole thing is just confusing to us. Is there any step by step guides anywhere ? Is everything based on my income in the UK and my ability to support her ( I'm only working pa...

Eventually I was, but we were hoping to do it in a way that it was right for us and not some sort of immigration tool. I was looking at the Fiance' visa thing last night and I'm aware of that being an option. Is there any way for me to obtain a work visa without marrying her for now or is that my on...

Best course of action? I really need some advice please.

Hi all. I was hoping for some advice on what would be the best course of action for me to go about getting a U.S work permit and of course, extended stay visa. I'm a UK citizen, but my girlfriend is American, with whom I have a 9 month old daughter. We've been trying to decide where its best to sett...

Thanks for the response Vinny. What about my girlfriend? Would it make moving here easier for her too?

Yeah I just talked to her, she's landed in London. Apparently her grandmother doesnt have any paperwork, so it would be down to us to try and find it on our own by the looks of it.

Still, thats about the most encouraging angle we have so far :)

No aside from the Irish grandparents, all her relatives are born and bred in America.

Now that I think about it, will that even matter? Seeing as Southern Ireland is part of the E.U now?

Her grandparents were from Ireland before immigrating to America. I wonder if we can work on getting an Ancestral Visa.

She didn't apply for that, because the advisor she spoke to said her husband would need to apply too, but he never ever mentioned anything about her needing to be from a Commonwealth country to qualify. In the end she applied for an extended stay visa, until we could figure out a battle plan on how ...

I just looked it up, you're definetly right about it being a commonwealth country. I just hope you're wrong about that being a pre-requisite for a working holiday visa.

If you arent, then the person she flew 2 thousand miles to talk to in Chicago should be fired for not advising her correctly.

As far as I'm aware, the WHV can only be applied in the home country. Isn't WHM for Commonwealth citizens only? Do you know if South Africa in the Commonwealth? I work with 2 people right now who are over here on that visa. If it isn't we should be ok. When she applied for the working holiday visa ...

Do you think if there was evidence of us living together as partners and if I could prove my intent to marry her, it would have an influence on the need for her husband to apply for the working holiday visa too?

Hmmm, well that isn't good news at all. It seems like all we can do is wait for her divorce to go through (Which is 6 months after it's been filed for, whether he signs or not) I think if he was going to sign he would have done so by now though. That will go through in about 2-3 months time. In the ...

I heard someone say that Civil Partnership can be used my men and woman relationships to help situations like ours, and obviously help immigration, but I cant find any information on it. Everything I find just talks about same sex marraige, which obviously isnt what we're after. We just want to be s...

Yeah, she studied and graduated in the States. I knew about the employer sponsorship, and thats what we've been looking into right now, since its about all we have to go on right now, but thats obviously a long shot at best. Getting someone who is willing to put forth the time and effort to help get...

We've looked through all that stuff, but theres so many sites that it just gets confusing. That's why I registered here, to perhaps help clear up some of the fog. She's just finished her degree's so she doesnt need to study. The fact that she's got 2 degree's should be a good thing, but all the site...

I'm a UK citizen and have lived in Scotland all my life, my girlfriend is American citizen, and has lived in America for all of her life too.
