chloesboy,

Maybe the 'Moving Back to the UK' forum at BritishExpats.com can give you some leads.

chloesboy

Your starting point should be the British Embassy in the USA. Their website is www.britainusa.com and the link that you should be reading is Settlement (in the UK): Fiance(e)s

The British procedure is far too simple and quick...so consider yourself luckier than most of us here :thumbs:

Good luck.

Be careful with using the word 'partner' in the USA, where it usually means 'same sex couples',marriages that are not legal here. Please use fiancee/fiance boy/girlfriend or such other standard phrases.

Actually, this is the ONE time that I'd have to agree with Matako. When I hear "partner", I automatically assume same-sex. Why? Because no male-female couple here (my little town) that I know of refers to their "other" as their "partner". Saying partner, especially on a message board, leaves the other members wondering if the person posting is male or female. It also, to me, devalues the other person. Technically, I know that it implies equal, but it just sounds so...... unromantic and devoid of emotion.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

I know!

It's sort of like 'spousal unit' or something.

And it was another of those UK/US translation words that took a while to sink in. After 5 years, there are still a few!

He's British, that's what they say there, and many also find the use of the words "husband" and "wife" to be insulting.

How can one claim God cares to judge a fornicator over judging a lying, conniving bully? I guess you would if you are the lying, conniving bully.
