So very close...

Anyone from the UK want to marry me?

I've just been checking out my visa possibilities - I have 90 points, out of a necessary 95.
Which means I am 5 points off getting a highly skilled migrant visa for England next year. 5 points!

This does not seem fair.

Looking into it, the only ways I can increase my points are:
a) get a PhD
b) get experience working in the UK (without getting a visa beforehand...)
c) convince my boss to pay me more money

Personally, I think it'll be a lot easier if I just circumvent the whole process by marrying someone with a British passport, and get my visa the old-fashioned way...
So: I'm young, I'm attractive, and I know how to cook. Any takers?

hmmm...

- i did have a different comment - but on reflection it might not have been taken in the vein i meant it...

Possibly not, but that depends entirely on what vein you meant it in. I certainly know what vein I was taking it in, and it's a pity you deleted it, really, because I'm sure I could have come up with a brilliant answer, given time...

okay then...
IIRC
1) So... how long would this arrangement/marriage have to last?

2) What level of effort would be required on the part of the intended?
