So, Michelle ... you and your boyfriend are "going steady for now"! Is it an online relationship at this point in time, or have the two of you *met already?

The reason I ask, is not out of pure nosiness!

It's simply because WHICHEVER visa you decide to apply for, the British Embassy will expect you to provide evidence of the *latter.
If you've both reached the stage where you're seriously contemplating spending the rest of your lives together, then you would be well-advised to choose one or other of the following options open to you, i.e. the Fiancee and/or Spousal Visa, since Visit/Tourist visas for UK entry are extremely hard to come by these days ... even though they're a much less expensive method.
Whatever route you eventually decide upon, I wish you every success, and would like to take the opportunity of welcoming you to the forum.
