London Business Owners

Hello fellow Blackhatters,

Without getting into too much of a back-story, I am in the process of relocating to London. I will be living with a lady friend, but I don't want to get married just for "papers". I've got a few U.S. companies and was curious if anyone in the UK - preferably someone with an office in London would be willing to do a sponsorship exchange? Or if no exchange - maybe you want a capable team member to help you expand US markets, etc., I would even go as far to work for cheap just to make it worth your while. Bottom line, I need to find a way to legally be in the UK for more than 6 months out of a year as I don't want a marriage to be based on needing papers, etc. Maybe someone creative or experienced, knows a way to blackhat the immigration system?

For discretionary reasons, if you want details about my experience, companies, or situation - just send a message in private.

Im not from England,but where i live,if one can dig out any local roots can get citizenship,and as an EU citizen you are allowed to locate/work/open a business anywhere you want

As far as I know despite being caucasian (white) I have no known roots in EU at all. Thanks for the response though.

how can you have no root from EU? aren't all USA ppl from EU - many decades ago?

That is by far one of the most pointless responses I've ever seen. Do you really think that someone, say a US citizen, who has a great-great-great grandparent from the UK is obliged to have UK or EU citizenship? Yes, every American has roots from in or around Great Britain (probably Irish from what most of them make out), but that goes to no way help towards citizenship.

OP, if you want UK citizenship just make out that you're worth having over here. As long as you can count from one to ten in English and have a decent grasp of our culture you should be fine. Hell, from what I've seen, that's a given. Being able to say 'hello' or 'nice cup of tea' gets you through our gates without a second question.
