Yep, marriage would probably be the easiest way but perhaps you would be allowed permanant stay seeing as your daughter is British, I'm not sure though.
I'm pretty sure most people would think you should be allowed to stay with your partner in the country your daughter is from though, I would ignore the above answer if I were you.
Good luck!

You need to apply for a visa at your British Embassy. If your partner can prove that he can support you without you needing to claim any benefits, you have not committed an immigration offence like overstaying a visa previously, and there are no crimial convictions, you stand a good chance. The visa would usually be for 2 years and then you can apply for further leave and eventually indefinite leave to remain.
Getting married would make NO difference at all!! You can apply for settlement here as a spouse or unmarried partner.

My grandfather helped build that country n presently lives there so does my two bros, my cousins, aunts, uncles, and loads of friends. u talk as if i go run to get a baby to come there. u really hurt my feelings. i just wanted to do things the proper way as i am an upright lady and would never float my immigration status that i presently have. i own my house here so im no commoner as u r indirectly saying ok. its just that my honey/daughter's dad want us to be together n since both of them r british he wants us there.

kevshakry,
nic was only asking those questions to help clarify your situation. he wasn't implying / sugesting anything from how i read his post.
your best bet is to speak to immagration and see what they say.
from my view i would say you have a very good chance but that's just my opinion. i don't know the law or your history.
good luck with your application.

Sunflower68, leave to remain will be granted if kevshakry meets the requirement of the immigration rules.

She can apply for leave as an unmarried partner, and amongst other things would have to provide proof that the relationship is genuine and subsisting.
She can also get married and then apply for leave to remain as a married partner, but would also have to provide proof of the relationship. As there are so many marriages of convenience these days the decision maker will almost disregard the marriage certificate and instead look at the other proof provided. So really the marriage will only affect which section she applies under.
Hope that makes sense.
