    Stow yourself away on the bottom of a lorry or in a cargo ferry, it usually goes unnoticed.

    to be honest, I wouldn't recommend it. You would probably need to convince immigration that you are here to work, and there's not exactly a plethora of jobs available.

    This may sound terribly racist, but it's unfortunately very true. You are from the USA, not anywhere in the Middle East or Eastern Europe. Good luck with that. If you were from those two places, you'd probably find yourself in a VERY expensive room/house paid for by the council or government, with all expenses paid. And you would have jumped to the front of a housing list people have been waiting on for 5+ years.

    I would advise to just move a few states away. State citizenship is a lot easier to do than a new country and work is a lot easier to find.

    If you want to move to the UK the traditional ways are via marriage, ancestry or work in UK.
    A UK marriage visa offers settled status with no time or work restrictions on your stay. Those in charge of UK immigration have changed this route recently as well meaning both parties must now be at least 21 before a marriage visa can be issued.
    Spouse visas are issued for a two-year period initially, after which the holder can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
    The UK Ancestry visa is open to Commonwealth citizens with ancestral ties to the UK. There are no points-based skills assessment like other UK visa routes and upon a successful visa application the holder and heir family have immediate access to the employment market with no restrictions. The visa is granted for a five-year period after which applicants can apply for permanent residence.
    Applicants must have a grandparent born in the UK or the Republic of Ireland before March 1922 to be eligible.
    Tier 1 General visas and tier 2 Work Permits are other popular ways to move to the UK. For the tier 1 General you will need a minimum of a master's degree and be earning £20,000 minimum or for the tier 2 work permit applicants must have a job offer from a UK based company already in place.
    A tier 2 Intra-company transfer is a viable option to move to the UK. This work permit allows employers to bring in overseas workers to the UK to fill a specific role for an agreed amount of time. Find out further information on our Work in UK page.

    I dont think you've thought this through bro, the UK isn't that great for everyone, if you move here without any friends or family with no idea to go it can be very hard. It's a very expensive place to live man, I'd recommend moving elsewhere in the US or maybe try Canada rather than moving over to the UK in such a drastic manner.

      OR try moving over here for university dude, so you live with other students and have classes with even more, that way you'll meet people quickly and you'll fit in very quickly. However that being said, it is very expensive going to university here as an international student

    They're changing the laws on the marriage policy. I don't believe being married to a UK resident will entitle you to gain a visa to enter the country after the change.

      For once in my entire life, I agree with you on something. It doesn't even have to be the Navy. He could join the Army and still get to see the world.

        I agree any of the armed forces is always a great way to make a fresh start. Also employers love it if you are ex military.
        Ps daminals all I ever ask is if you agree with me let me know, and if you disagree let me know. Cash out.

          They pay for your college, you're guaranteed a job, you make a good bit of money, and you get to see the world. So it's really a good decision, if you have nothing else working out.

            Don't forget you also get some of the best toys money can buy, and best friends you will ever make. Don't forget the va benefits for buying a home later as well, including the 36,000 in entitlement money. Last but not least, women love a man in uniform... Just saying...

    Join the french foreign legion, minimum of 5 year service and at the end of it they grant you french citizenship, and from there eventually you can get a french passport, and you will freely be able to live in the UK, on that EU passport.

    I just sorted your whole life out for you castlewars, just dont die in afghanistan or on some peacekeeping mission in congo and you'll be sorted.
