Visa for dd's partner

Partner/fiance; they've been together a few years but he had to leave once he'd finished Uni last year. DD went with him for the summer, a few months but has her own studies to finish, and with her proposed post-grad course it will be another few years before she's finished and can start work FT.

Her partner was intending to return to do post-grad too but that has gone to the wall for moment, but they are desperately missing each other though in constant touch thanks to today's great tech. I chat with him independently too on messenger etc from time to time.

The intend to marry, which is wonderful, and dh and I heartily approve. They'd intended to wait until they'd both finished their post-grads and started FT work, but as he won't be studying now, he won't be able to be here on a student Visa, as he was before.

He is working in Pakistan atm, but it's a job that he doesn't particularly enjoy, though well paid enough for him over there. He just wants to be here with dd though, and she wants him here with her. It's so sad.

What sort of Visa could he get, does anyone know? He would need it to allow him to work, to marry, maybe to study if he can get a place. Obviously, it's more difficult to find opportunities from over there; and all they want is to be together really.

They are both approaching 25, and are serious about each other. She says even if they marry he won't be allowed to work or study here. Is that true?

Thank you for help. Any advice?
