i am thinking of moving myself to england. but i know it’s a very extensive process. if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the first steps to moving to a whole new country, specifically england?

I’m originally from England so not specifically me but I married an American girl and she moved to the UK so it’s really just a case of making sure you meet certain criteria. So you have to earn I think a minimum of £18,900 a year and that’s pretty much it to be able to petition. The easiest way would be if you met an English person and ended up marrying. If you do end up in a long distance relationship it’s surprising how much quicker you move in that relationship opposed to what would be considered a normal relationship. Without marrying a citizen, you’d be looking at getting a degree in a field where you could easily get a job in the UK or you could study in the UK. There are US companies who have offices in the UK so it might be worth finding a company who would be willing to let you relocate and it would be on their dime. My Dad used to work for ITV in the UK and they have offices in the US which he would have opportunities to work, and I know he did say that some people had moved there for good so it does happen like that.
