Suggestions on marrying a Scot and living IN Scotland?
My fiance and I have been apart for two years this week, and I am trying to find a way to move there legally, and relatively painlessly.
The UKBA is atrocious.
I just want to go. I'm even considering working as a teacher of English to get there.
Any suggestions, or how to on cheap airfares ?
I want to be able to move around freely throughout Europe.
Thanks!
Michael

You and your fiancee should consult a proper immigration lawyer rather than asking on an internet board related to travel.
If you haven't done so yet then why on earth not - you've lost two years of the process!
You need to comply with all the UK Immigration regulations as administered by the UKBA (which is now called UK Visas and Immigration).
These are now tighter than in the past and are getting stricter. Unless you are a worker in a skill shortage field then forget about a working visa as you won't get a visa and an employer won't waste one of their allocations on you.
Unless your fiancee has the £££ to support you that's another avenue closed off to you.
DO NOT try and enter the UK under false pretences i.e. via tourist visa and then try and stay on. This includes coming for a 'holiday' and trying to marry whilst you are in the UK.
But is this post for real or are you just asking random questions without coming back to answer questions like you did in your other thread??

After hearing him talk with a few single malts in him, I began to understand why.

This reminds me of my (English) niece's first day at a very exclusive college in New England. She was asked by a puzzled freshman whether they spoke French in England.

(Living in a marginal ward in a marginal constituency, our local MP pops round to say hello and drop off leaflets etc fairly often, which tends to surprise visiting friends from "safe" seats! And those from abroad. MP did pretty well when the front door was answered by a slightly confused native french speaker!)
