I'm completely lost and don't know what to do... HELP!

[AngelDavies]

Alright well this is my first time looking to a forum for help on this but i am completely lost. Heres the back story before i get to the actual question, sorry if its a bit winded.

Ok i met my fiance whilst i was in school, that was 2 years ago, he is an english citizen and i am an american citizen. I quit college and he came from england to visit me in texas for 1 month. He went home and we spoke every single day till he returned again in July 2007 and spent 3 months in texas, then went home. I later went to stay with him in england for 6 months in January 2007. We have spent all this time together we have everything we have ever done documented and saved all papers, receipts, anything we ever did together because we knew we would be together eventually, so now, we want to get married and i figure it would be best if i move there to england instead of him moving here because he would have more to lose because he does have a good job where he can work his way up, he makes approximately 12,000 gbp per year and im not sure about the entire process or anything but i wanted to know if i could move there with then knowing all i have told you, the thing is im 20 hes 21, and i mainly only see "older" couples doing this and getting approved, and everytime i send a question to a consulate or visa website i get an automated answer, which doesnt really help so now for my questions:

1) Is there a good chance that we will get accepted? [i dont have a degree or anything sort of job certificate]

2) Is there something else i will need to get in as his wife or on a fiance visa, such as work experience in a certain field?

3) any help would be very appreciated!!

£12k is minimum wage here - your boyfriend has plenty of headroom to work his way up.

I'm no expert but from my attempts to bring my Russian wife in, you need to show that you will not be a drain on the state. At £12k, as a couple you would be entitled to a slate of benefits for the low waged, which might be held against you when you apply for a spouse visa.

The main criteria seem to be that the UK citizen:
* has a job
* can support you as a couple without recourse to the state
* has somewhere for you to live
* has met you before, that the marriage is real and will last

Best of luck
