There is no long term non-residential visa, only visit visa. So that's basically Work, Student or Marriage.Igiri wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 1:42 pmThanks for the quick reply!
I presumed that was the case. Slightly disappointing but I guess it's not supposed to be easy for any old Tom, Dick, and Harry to move over
I'm dumbfounded by how they expect people to qualify for the unmarried partner visa when it requires you to have lived together for 2 years. Kinda hard to do without a visa. I imagine it's for those that stay over here on something like the student/work visas like you mentioned and then want to get the unmarried partner visa.
I guess I'll keep exploring the options. Worse comes to worst, I'll have to pop the question once we're 100% confident we want to go ahead with it. The original plan was to get married in the states and get them over on a spousal visa and perhaps get remarried in the future for a more meaningful marriage. I just have the realistic concerns that getting married to someone you've not had the chance to live with is quite the risk. Of course I'm confident everything will be fine but thinking realistically I can't really know until we do live together.
Really appreciate the help.
Out of curiosity, do you know anything about these 'long term visit visas' I've been reading about? What exactly qualifies you for them?
