Hi Paul, and welcome to the forum.

Congrats on finding an employer to apply for the LMO for you, that's usually the tough bit! Fingers crossed it comes back positive and then you can apply for your TWP.

There's no other way of getting a TWP, although you may have other options. If you've lived with your gf for a year or more, then she could sponsor you for PR as a common-law spouse, or if you're aged 30 or under and a UKC, you could apply for a Working Holiday Visa in January which would give you a year's open work permit.

The best thing to do is read the Wiki which should make your options clear to you - start with the link in my signature.

Good luck.
