I am currently unemployed in the UK, as I am techinically here as a tourist and do not have permission to work.
I am seeking sponsorship but have had no luck with employers. Anyone need a hard working, intelligent, multi-skilled American on their team? I have B.A. in Communications and have worked for several years in the film industry but I can assure that all of my skills are transferable
All of the sites I have visited have pretty much told me my only hope is to wed, but we're not ready for that...and don't want to wed for that reason.
I would appreciate any advice or information. We're beginning to lose hope...it's been a discouraging few months...
Thanks for reading.

Well without obtaining a resident visa and a right to work permit then getting married is your only alternative. I had been in a similiar situation when I first went to the UK. But we had planned to marry one day anyway so bringing it up a year or so made no difference. But since that time we have now moved to Spain. Loved the UK but actually like Spain better.
Let us know how it works out for you.
