All U need is Love?? NOT
Help!!!
Im 38 and met the man of my dreams on the Internet.. Im from the States hes from the UK...... Hes been to the states and we know we want to spend each night going to sleep in each others arms and wake up to bad breath... I have been to alot of the "gov" sites on how to do this and how to do that....But damn it confuses me......Anyone out there have any advice on how to start all of this? He will be here again in a few days for a much longer visit 88 days we are hoping...as long as the port authority dont give him any shit when he gets to the airport..he dont have a visa just comes over on a VWP......So i guess what i am asking for is any assistance from real people that have been threw this or have a good understanding of how to go about me keeping him here.... Cuz as i see it the phrase "All U need is LOVE...just aint gonna cut it, with all the laws.... Thanks

So you want him to move over here but you're not ready for marriage yet.
In that case we need some way to get him here. What does he do? Is he rich?

Not really looking hopeful at the moment, I'm afraid.
The right job (nurse or highly specialised w/ degree or 12-years exp.) = work visa
Own company = intra-company transfer
Money ($150k+)= trader treaty (open your own business in US)
Not much left to my mind.

He should probably get a K1 visa before he comes to the states, although there are other methods that have proved successful. Go to the marriage forum in BritishExpats and read up or www.visajourney.com, or mix and match as you please.
