I hope you have a great visit! Based on your names, I'm assuming you are both female - if that is the case, there are sadly no relationship-based immigration options in the U.S. right now. If that is your end goal (her being with you here), it might be worth it to start looking into options now - Immigration Equality (www.immigrationequality.org) is a great resource. I would highly suggest e-mailing them if you have questions about your options. The UK does have options for same-sex couples to immigrate, so that is at least a way to be together. There is a bill in Congress to try to allow permanent same-sex partners immigration rights, but it's been there every year for at least the last 7 and doesn't make much progress (a little more each year, but it's hard for that to mean much when you want to be with your partner now). You may know much of this, but there are many others in your situation (actually, Rufus Wainwright - a pretty famous singer - just publicly talked about this as his partner is German).

Good luck!
