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.

The easiest way is marriage to a citizen, I have no idea what sort of job skills someone would need and which visa they would need if it was through work. I was the other way, I did UK to the US with being married to a US citizen. I found settling into the US was pretty straight forward once I’d got my green card and my wife when she moved to the UK when we married settled in pretty well so you wouldn’t have any issues if you did move I think. If you’re young enough I’d say getting something lined up with education in college which could get you a job here could be a route. It might be worth seeing if there are any companies in the US with UK offices and seeing if they could let you move.

I can say that Pennsylvania is a beautiful state, I don’t know what I expected from the place but we drove through there to NY a while back and it reminded me so much of the open countryside in England. I would have definitely stopped the car and spent 5 days there instead of NY if I’d known how much I wouldn’t have enjoyed NYC.

You would have no issues whatsoever in the UK, nobody cares what other people are doing and I honestly can’t think of an area where you would feel uncomfortable. I know Germany is very liberal, I have a gay uncle from Germany and he does drag shows all over Europe. You and your husband would be more than welcome over this side of the pond!
