Well, let me attempt to explain this complicated situation a bit further. So I have this guy that I'm in a relationship with, for twoish years but my guy lives in america and is willing to move here for me (woot!). However the system is impossible apparently, it's just impossible for him just to move here because we haven't met (we webcam every day!). I can't afford to go meet him, but he's saving to come here, I've been trying to figure out how the hell to actually get him over here and keep him over here because I'm happy with my career and don't want to move to the states, and he wants to study so I thought maybe he could do that here. I thought maybe we could get him over on a work visa and we could live together for a year and then apply for a partnership visa, however, he needs to be able to work and he also wants to study at some point, so I was looking into all that for him too.
From what I can see we can get him over on the work visa and then apply for a partnership visa but I'm not sure about the restrictions on that one, and it's just not going to work if he isn't able to make a living, and obviously he doesn't want to wait a million years to study. Anyways, yeah. They don't make it easier for people to be together with their partners these days do they? lol.
