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?

I always wonder why people actually want to come here. It certainly can't be for our wonderful weather.

Sure. Next week good for you?

Although wouldn't they deduct 15 points for "being insane enough to want to live in Britain anyway"?

Wouldn't you also have to prove that you had some sort of romantic relationship and that it wasn't a marriage just for the sake of the visa?

I..could fake an accent? And tell you I live in Britain? Maybe draw myself up a British passport with my hand-dandy crayons?

On second thought, maybe that won't work.

Better plan: You marry someone British to go to the UK. Then when you're UK-a-fied, you marry me so I can go to the UK too! I’m young, I’m attractive, and I..well I can’t cook, but I’m a great microwaver. And I like pets. And pina coladas. And getting caught in the rain.

And British and Australian accents.. So really, being married to an Australian in England, probably the best thing ever..

Then if we could just marry Wesley as well..
