My boyfriend might be going to Oxford or Cambridge. And I'll be done with my college by the time he goes. I really wish to go with him so we can still be close. How would I go about living temporarily and working in England? I am a US citizen and resident. Thank you for you're help.

Student dependents must be spouses, unmarried partners or children. You would probably not qualify as an unmarried partner. - You must be both over 21. - You must have lived together for at least two years as a couple and be able to provide evidence to this effect such as joint bank statements, rent agreements, utility bills etc. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/studyingintheuk/adult-students/family/# If you can meet these criteria, you can only work in the UK as a dependent if your b/f's course is for longer than a year and is degree level or above or is a foundation degree course. The only other options you have are to apply for a student visa in your own right or spend a few months at a time as a visitor. However, if you do this, you can only spend 180 days in any 12 month period as a visitor and you cannot work on a visitor visa. This means that you have to have sufficient funds to prove that you can support yourself for the whole of your stay and prove that you have sufficient ties to your own country so as not to be labelled a risk of overstaying.
