Hello, I posted over in the Welcome Wagon, and got pointed over here to say hi. Basically, I'm a British (scottish actually) chap living in London, who's gone and found himself falling for a girl who lives 5000 miles away. She's just spent six weeks here with me, and I was heartbroken to put her on the plane home. We're crazy about each other, and in the six weeks together, we talked about a lot of things, with a major topic being how we can possibly find a way to live together. At the moment, we're concentrating on trying to get my girl work in the UK. She's a journo, and not eligible under Highly Skilled Migrants, so basically, it's a case of her finding work with a paper, magazine or journal in the UK and getting them to sponsor a working visa. It's a competitive field, and we both know this might take a while. I just wondered if anyone else is/has been in a similar situation, and if so, what were some of the ways that you coped, how did you accelerate the job-finding process and what are the options in a case like this. I miss her so badly, and all I can think about is getting her back over here as soon as I can.
Thanks guys
Dave
