My boyfriend and I met online; we’ve never seen each other in person. He lives in the UK and is a student working on his BA. I am from the US and am just now finishing my AS. I want to live with him in the UK until he finishes his degree. We plan to come to the US upon the completion of his schooling. Neither of us cares about citizenship—we just want to be together. Our finances are limited; as such, I would need a job while there in the UK. Is there a way this can be accomplished? How?

What if he came to visit me (no visa required), we get married in the states but don't seek a marriage visa, I go back to the UK with him under a working holidaymaker visa, then when I have to come back to the states he applies for a marriage visa? Is that workable or plausible?

Yeah. Thanks! Especially "helo_pilot" for being such a possitive & helpful guy--********. Anyway, I found an easier way; I'm going to go to his school to get my BA.

I think that the UK grants visas for domestic partners, but you have to proved you have lived together, had a relationship, etc. in order to get this. I think it will be very difficult, since you have never seen each other in person. The only other option is to get married.

They probably wont allow you to stay that long if you both haven't met each other before. I'd say you're better coming over on holiday, and actually meeting him first. Then if you still both decide you want to be together, apply from the US for a fiancée visa, and then marry.
