Alternatively, your partner can go to the US and you can marry there, and then apply for the two-year spouse visa from the British consualte and be able to work as soon as you come to the UK. Since you are planning to settle in the UK, your partner can just enter the US on a visa-waiver, no fiance visa is needed, and depending on where you live, the waiting period can be none to a few days. My husband and I did this. We got married in NYC 24 hours after applying for the marriage license. You can then also plan to have a church blessing or some type of ceremony to celebrate with friends/family after you arrive here.
