So what if i get engaged ?

[VeryConfused. 0]

Okay so thanks to you guys it's pretty clear I dont qualify for a permanent residence visa through my US dad as he resides permanently in the UK.

BUT my boyfriend is over there and he's the main reason i want to go live there

Im really quite gutted that this whole i-130 process was a waste of time, but im not giving up because im so serious with him that we have already made plans to get married etc. and we've always had a serious relationship despite the distance, we make it work.

SO what's the process now if we decided to get engaged sooner rather than later so i can go be with him?

I definitely want to see him by July, so i'll possibly go over for like 2 months on a visa waiver program...

if we got engaged whilst i was there during that time ... where would we go from there??

( and we're definitely not just doing this for immigration purposes because like i said it's always been the plan but it looks like we've just got to speed it up )

Yep the link is all you need. And you can save some time- assuming you have met your boyfriend in the last 2 years in person- by having him send in the K1 fiance visa petition now. You can still go visit him in summer.
