Advice for couples from different countries (US/UK)

Hi guys,

I am a U.K citizen but my girlfriend is from the United States. She and I have been together since June 2005 and have basically been hopping back and forth over the Atlantic for some time. However,it is becoming increasingly difficult and immigration is starting to give us a harder and harder time when entering each other's countries.

As things are, I am only allowed to stay in the United States for a maximum of 90 days and she is allowed to stay for 6 months here.

We both feel that we would like to settle down somewhere (either the US or the UK) for a longer period than 6 months but we don't quite feel that we are ready for marriage yet. We are unsure of our options, I have done some light reading about the unmarried couples visa for the UK but I do not think we would qualify for it.

How can we proceed? If you require any additional information in order to answer I will happily post it.
 
In the same boat

Hey,

Your post interests me because my girlfriend and I are having the same problem. Only we are a few years behind you. I am an British citizen and she is an American. She recently came to visit me for only 2 weeks and was asked alot of questions at immagration upon arrival, and I have been rejected 2 tourist visas for the States, for petty thing like not enough funds for my trip.

I was wondering how you have been doing it for 2 years so far and if you have had any luck since your last post...

Thanks alot and good luck with everything...
