to marry or not to marry..

[alritchiejackson5]

Hello everyone!

Thank you kindly in advance for any replies.

I am Scottish and my Mexican girlfriend is looking to move over here. I am training for a job and still have 18 months left which I need to be here for. We have been looking and applying for work over here for her - London being our biggest chance of finding something, but nothing has developed.

If we get a 'low key marriage' (for convenience) to enable her to go for interviews without requiring sponsorship, what are the risks ?

I mean if things don't work out with us......

Believe it or not I I am actually a romantic but "desperate times, desperate measures" and all that. I know this isn't what marriage should be about. It would be a private affair since we are not at the stage in our relationship to commit ourselves.

Please, please offer any advice you can. I'm 26 and don't know any of the legally binding stuff that comes with marriage.

Reading this back to myself makes me sound like I'm crazy. I realise I am opening myself up to potentially receiving heaps of criticism too. I'm actually just a very ordinary guy in an extraordinary situation who doesn't want to give up on love.

I hope this post is in the correct forum.

Alan
