I am interested in moving to england from the US in the next year or two.
How would I go about doing so?
How would I be able to become a citizen?
Are there certain things I would need?
Thanks in advance,
Kara

I think you can stay here for 6 months without a visa so you have a bit of time I think to stay here longer your best bet would be to find a job that should help your chances of staying and I think you have to live here for a number of years to become a uk national either that or marry a brit!! Personally id stay in the usa I love your country I wish we could swap!!

Moving To England

Why do you want to come to england for? Too many people here already!! We have a serious problem with immagration here. Our politicians certainly don't know how to manage it, it's a flippin disgrace. But as your from the U.S. and not Eastern Europe or the middle east Ill let you off..

You really do not want to move here you have a far better quality of life other there than here. Education is poor weather is awful hospitals bad. Your country could offer far more than the uk ever could stay were you are.
As for the requirements the amount of illegal immigrants that come in every day is beyond belief.

Hi

Go there for few years. Have fun and enjoy the ride.
Worst thing you can come back.

If you have any children it can be a problem……you will need to find all the details including education and working permissions.

It's a wonderful country. England, I mean. So comfortable and couzy. Still moving to England is not an easy task. Tips about moving to England could save you a lot of headache knowing most of the time what you should do next.
You can find Great tips and information at the : Moving to England guide within our website.

HA! You guys think illegal immigration is bad in England, at least you're an island, we're attached to Mexico

England does seem pretty good though. You guys have Top Gear!

AMEN! Top Gear is the best show on TV! My wife and I watch a LOT of TV on BBC America. MUCH better than a lot of the crap churned out here in the colonies.

I love England, was there back in 03, my wife is from there and we are planning our move there next year. It can be complicated moving there. There are new laws regarding immigration. They have a tier system in place for those who are have a job that is in demand, you can live there if you are married to a Brit on a spouse visa, if you are engaged to a citzen you can apply for a fiancée visa. If you have no family there and just want to go over to live, you might have a problem moving there. Its not perfect over here in the states either. I have lived in both places and can't wait to move out of the states. Its tough to make it here as well and our government has ruined a great country. My wife has been here 10 years now and can't stand it any longer.

Try a site like brits in the us or sites like that , they are very informative and give information in great detail.

My boyfriend is from Hull, England. Was moved to the states with his family when he was 10. I've always had a passion for other countries. And it might be that I just hate the part of the US that I live in. But to be honest I don't like the US. School systems suck. I live in Southern California and it is really bad here. Immegration problems, school problems, heat. I went during the holiday season of '09 and absolutely loved it. Spent time in London. Anyway, we are far from moving to England. Saving money, school, jobs, oh and to top it all off. We need to get married. Either way it seems that I need a fiancé or spouse visa, and it sounds like he has to live there or be settled before I move there. I'm looking for as much info as I can. But no one site gives all the answers.

I have to say, I can understand not being thrilled with Blythe, California... ;) Do keep in mind, visiting England and living in England are very different. Here is a wonderful site, with very helpful people. You will find everything you and your boyfriend need in regard to considering a move to the UK.

American Expats In The UK - bringing the American community together around the UK

Hahahah back off from mexico lmao I was born there ;d... I wish I could move to england , their accent is just absolutely magnificent... not to mention their woman... their culture , their medieval architecture... wow one day I will visit that wonderful land...

Are you people really from UK? Do you know what its like in USA? If you are homeless here, you work your tail off and stay on the streets so you can get housing in a place full of roaches and pee. WAKE UP. If there was ANY way I could leave USA for there I would.
