Im not exactly sure what i'd have to do to move there. He doesn't have his own place and doesn't really have a great job would that hold us back? I have a better job here in the states and a place to live and everything but i'd rather move there. Any help would be great thank you!

He is very willing to move to America based on the pricing of everything, and the stability. I was just hoping there was a way for me to move there. I love the USA dont get me wrong but something new would be so great, that where I was hoping to see if it was somewhat possible to do that. But I guess America is where Im staying.. thank you for your anwsers everyone!

The only thing holding you back is the current disarray of the Home Office.
If you want to live in the UK with your fiance', you can come over with that status (you must get your visa in advance). You cannot work until you get married, at which point you can apply for temporary right of abode and a National Insurance number. Your temporary visa will be for 3 years. If you are still married at that point you can get permanent right of abode. After you have been here for 5 years, you can apply for UK citizenship. You will not, according to the State Department, have to give up your US passport and can therefore have dual nationality (provided you pass the various tests for UK citizenship).
Your future husband's income, and whether he has his own place, shares a flat or lives with his parents, is irrelevant. This is especially so because you are a woman - I'm afraid to say women are treated differently than men, and am also afraid to say that people coming from developed countries are given preference over those coming from developing countries. US citizens, particularly highly-skilled middle class or professionals, are given a degree of deference, as the skills set here is in decline and recruitment of skilled workers (including nurses) is a government priority.

Follow your heart. BUT - the fact that you are seeking advice means you, yourself have some reservations about this move and are unsure. Spend some time alone (as much as it takes.) In a quiet room where you will not be disturbed. Shut the
phone(s) off. No computer - nothing that will distract you. Sit with your back supported, close your eyes and breathe slowly. Focus on the breath. Then - - I want you to ask your heart (I am not kidding). You are going to literally ask your heart what it wants to do. Then you are to wait quietly for as long as a minute for the answer.
You already know what to do. You just have to access that information for yourself. You can do it.

I don't want to put you off but there are two things you should know.
1 House prices are amazingly high over here. Dont expect to get on the housing ladder for much less than £250,000. Rent is very high too.
2 The cost of living is extortionate. You are in for a shock. Us Brits love coming to the US because compared to home it is sooooooo cheap.
But love conquers all blah blah blah......so I'm sure you'll find a way.

I lived all over the UK while doing Study Abroad at university. It can be SUPER hard to get a work permit if you're not a citizen. Once you are legally married it will be loads easier for you to get citizenship and move there. Best of luck! I wish I was you, how'd you snag a BritBoy? I'd love to! lol

If I were you, I'd ask my fiance to move to the states. Life would be much easier considering you have"everything" in the states.

Take my advice and stay where you are. Dont fix it if its not broken. You could be walking into a world of hurt. There is no security and stability from what im getting from you so dont do it..

Forget it. You can only be there for 90 days unless you have a work visa, and you aren't going to get it without sponsorship from a company.
