How can an English guy and an American girl be together in one another's country and work legally?
I'm an English guy that met and fell in love with an American girl whilst travelling. We are having major problems figuring out a way for us to be together legally in one another's home country for prolonged periods of time. As we've only known each other since July we don't really think marriage is the way to go. We'd both need to work wherever we were. She will be graduating in May and may want to continue her studies in England, but not for a few years, and I've been working in admin for seven years. I'm flexible with regards to type of work and will do whatever it takes if I were to be able to work in the US (legally). We would like to know if anyone else has been in the same situation and how you got around all the nightmares with immigration, visas and the likes?

Both countries have severely strict laws regarding work visas and immigration laws. As the answer before me said, you'd have to be highly skilled in your area of employment. As for her, she would also have to be highly skilled in her area of employment AND also hope that after every reasonable effort for the employer to find someone for that position, they would WANT to sponsor her because as far as I know, visas for employment are paid for by the employer in the EU.
You could possibly come over for a holiday and while you're here, petition for a work visa. She could also possibly apply for schools in the UK and go over there on a student visa. In order to work while she's in school, she would have to apply for a work visa after she's started school and even then she would only be able to work part time.
Those are pretty much the only options you have.
