Well .nothing stands in your way of getting married, he can come see you on vwp, you can get married but he must leave again. He can't adjust status but getting married is perfectly legal! Can't you get a second job so that you do meet the income requirement? Have you guys thought about moving to another country, not the us or the UK?

As the previous poster said you can marry in the US any time you want but to live together you'll have to go through the visa process for one of your two countries.

Is it just the two of you in your family unit or do you have children?

Do either of you have a job right now?

The income requirements are a lot lower for the two of you in US immigration than UK immigration plus for the UK there is no option of using a co-sponsor.

You mention just flying back and forth to see each other a lot - I would think that if you can afford to do that, and house feed and support yourselves in other ways then you would not find it that hard to meet the income requirements for the US.

You could apply for a J1 visa for exchange students/Summer work or a F1 visa and come as a student then once in the US apply for adjustment of status. However you will have to prove that this was not your plan all along, if you get caught it could be bad news for future visits.

Could you explain more about your situation.

If neither of you meet the immigration requirements for the UK or the USA, you have a third option, you can live in an EU country under family reunification while your UK partner (who should be your spouse for this to really work) works, studies, or lives under independent means.

Alright, you said you travel to meet him, so I'm assuming you have a job; is it the income that's getting you?

Because if not, you can just do what my wife and I did; get married in the UK, try to get him here on a CR-1/IR-1 visa.

If it is, try to find another job or double up if necessary; 125% of the poverty level is currently $19,388 for a household of two (assuming you don't have children). If you can meet or beat that somehow, you should be good to go.

I agree sara that the OP should go via the official route. And that it takes a long time but is worth it in the end.

I would never recommend visa fraud as the concequences far out way the few months wait for the proper route. However the OP asked if there was any other way and i was merly mentioning that some people, do adjust status. Also the other routes are no easier in terms of finances.

I apologise if I broke any forum rules with my original post.

you DID recommend it and I reported your previous post, you never mentioned that "some people adjust status".

I know your new to vj and like many of us you want to help in any way that we can when someone asks for advise :) and many of us have seen some strange ways of people getting their s/o's here but ....... if they want to find a fast way that is visa fraud is better for them to get that advise some place else :P

Just because some people do it doesn't mean we will advice or condone illegal activity here on VJ, this is against our TOS. The OP could use a student or J1 visa to spend some time with her loved one and deepen the relationship, and the extra time may also give the USC time to find a better paying job so he has the income to sponsor her. But an F1 or J1 visa are NOT dual intent and thus are not allowed to be used with the intent of immigrating. So please do not advice this in future.
