/adv/ I have been speaking to this girl in America for two years and we've finally made the decision to marry and hope to get her citizenship here. I have attempted looking through the gov.uk guides and that but I'm so inept and the topic seems so fucking nebulous that I have no idea where to start so I literally need to see if any of you guys can help me..
Thanks

Why don't you move to America. Was the revolutionary war for nothing? Why return to be a subject of the oppressive crown. Do not ask her to give away her freedom.
in most countries getting married is all thats required to make them a legal resident. not sure about citizen like being able to vote and shit, but i imagine she'll be able to live and work there.
i could be wrong tho
I don't know about U.K. But I moved to US from U.K. Through marriage. People make it out to be hard but there are ways around the lengthy stuff. Took me 6 months since starting the application to become a resident.

Lel in America there is no freedom to take from her.
Pretty sure she has to live with a UK citizen in the UK for 3 years before she can apply for citizenship
The 3 years sounds about right.5 if not married to a U.K. Citizen. Read this-method 2 talks about marriage and the q&a near the bottom has relevant answers. http://m.wikihow.com/Become-a-UK-Citizen
Congrats and good luck! :)
OP here sorry guys,
Thanks so much people, i don't think there is a much red tape as I've been worrying myself with. I probably should have been clear on the fact I just simply want to be in the same country permanently, I understand citizenship is the right to vote and that.. But yeah what I meant was legal resident.

Also it's what 'she wants' and ofcourse it's not the 1800's anymore..
