UK civil partnerships will enable immigration of non-EU-citizen partners

[Maven]

What immigration rights will my non-EU citizen partner have if we form a civil partnership?

Under the Civil Partnership Act, couples who register a civil partnership will have similar immigration rights to married couples. This will mean that the non-EEA civil partner of a British Citizen or person settled here will be able to apply for two years’ leave to enter or remain in the UK. If the civil partnership is still subsisting at the end of this period then an application for indefinite leave to remain may be made.

Which leads me to my next question:

Any cute british guy want to, erm, civil-partner with a 24-year-old NYC kid? :silly:

1. I'm a Yank legally resident in Britain. . .

. . . and the new law gives me more rights as a foreigner living in Britain than I receive from my own homeland (the "land of the free.")

Accepting applications. ;)

I had to assist my friend to even enter the US. That is, Back in the day.
