Hi all,

Im British and my girlfriend is American. We are both looking at the options so that we can be together but the requirements for getting a visa in the UK for her seem pretty tough, which I have posted in the relevant forum already.

So, I thought I would look at it from the other side, where I would find out about me moving over the pond to the US.

I guess a bit of info about me would help so here it is.

I am 26. I am self-employed since graduating from University in 2003 with an Honors Bachelor of Science. I am an Internet Marketer and also have the skills as a web/graphics designer. I am pretty lucky that my job allows me to work anywhere I want providing I have an Internet connection so for me to go over is doable. I deal with very few clients as my work is mainly an information business. So what a usual day for me would be is to get up and sit online until I've had enough at the end of the day. My income comes mainly from the Uk and some from the US (if this detail helps?)

So what kind of visa would be required for me? Could I get a visa, move over and continue to run my business? I have never been in full time employment for anyone before, but would this move mean I would have to do this? And if so, is it legal to continue running my Internet business on the side? Do my skills come under the required skills? I am pretty clueless to the UK to US situation as I have only just starting thinking about it.

Any info at all would be brilliant! Thanks in advance!
