I could not find a place that outlines the process of obtaining a residence permit. I just recently got my residence and put together all the steps that I went through. I hope people can find this helpful.
Cheers!
My fiancée is a British citizen and I am a U.S. citizen. We wanted to get married and settle in the UK.
Mainly the 2 websites that you will be visiting a lot are:
UK Border Agency http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ and UK Border Agency, VISAS http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/
Here are the steps that I took to obtain my residence permit in order to stay and work legally in the UK.
