Do the Utah zoom marriage, go over to visit and as soon as you're are over jet lag get the forms filled out and start the process. 

 

I know you have thought about moving to him, but unless he can meet the financial requirements on his on for the UK process that will not happen. If you want to be together sooner then later file to have him come to the US. He can then further his work experience and maybe later be able to take you all back to the UK. 

Thanks. What should I tell boarder control when I get there? What proof should I show to them so they know I won’t overstay

He doesn’t drive yet, he lives in a small town called Mountain Ash. It’s about an hour from Cardiff. 

Is he interested in learning to drive? Living in America, chances are he'll need to be able to drive.

Sounds like a good plan. What will I tell boarder control? I have visited 3 times in the past and have stayed for 6 months each time. Always with round trip tickets but I’m afraid they will turn me away this time. (I have anxiety) do I just tell them we are visiting her father? What ties should I say I have back home so they know I will return? Thank you

What do you normally tell them? Normally short and direct answers are best but if they ask for more. Like how long and what plans you have then. I would tell them you are visiting your husband while waiting for his US visa to be processed for him to move to the US.

They normally ask why I’m here and how long do I plan to stay. I say “we’re here to see her father and visit him for 6 months” and that was always fine. But this last man was confused and said it looked like a red flag that we haven’t done any of the process yet. But I tried to explain to him we got pregnant VERY young and we are still working at trying to find the income requirement so for now all we can do is visit. 
 

would it be worth getting a 10 year visa? Or something of that sorts.

A 10 year visa to the U.K won't help as the maximum amount of time you're allowed to stay is still 6 months and you won't be able to work while you're visiting. I'm not sure how strict the U.K is but, if you've already had questions raised about why you haven't made plans to immigrate to either country, you might not want to visit for the full 6 months (in case you are turned away). I would plan a 1-2 month visit.

You and your partner really need to carefully research all your visa options and factor in the cost- immigration to the U.K or the U.S.A is expensive. Figure out which country is more affordable.

The next time you go you can say you just started the process and plan to reside in the US.

The cost of almost $1200 of doing that hardly seems worth it to someone on a tight budget planning to have settled one place or the other before then?

 

Not sure if a marriage visitor visa to get married (not to stay) in the UK might be worth it though - that's pretty cheap (not sure how long the admin takes) and then you can start the i130 after that https://www.gov.uk/marriage-visa

I would suggest that you get married and file the I-130. Save the money that you are using for the frequent traveling and use it to file his paperwork. The I-130 is $535.00 for the initial filing. You would need to pay more once it gets to the National Visa Center but that will take time. He would be a permanent resident and it would allow him to work when he gets here. Good luck
