UK female - help and what to do to bring Egyptian partner to UK

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Not easy; the basis of family-based visas are based on a previous, existing, long and lasting relationship that you wish to continue together in the UK; so for example, as you are not married, that you have lived together abroad (they are looking for 2 years) and now wish to continue that relationship in the UK; you need to be able to prove this.

There is another option, a marriage visa, where he can apply for a short-term (6-month visa) to come here explicitly to get married, but he can't work on that visa.  Once you are married, you can then apply for a family visa, but there are hurdles you have to get over (income and healthcare are 2 that spring to mind).

There is a chance of a work-visa.  You haven't told us what your boyfriend does but there is a thread in this Forum called "NON EU CITIZENS APPLYING FOR A UK WORK VISA" where it explains what options are open for him; my advice is to read that and see if you can find a job category that he is qualified for and then he has to find a job.

Hope this helps.

How long is your relationship, and did you meet in the UK abroad or on the Internet? What are both your religions?
Do you have a job that could be easily useful in Egypt, or does he have the same to come to the UK?
