How on Earth can this work? No idea where to even start...UK to USA visa.

Yes, I am in the military, and moving is not an option for me:/

Ah, that explains some things then.

You are doing the same thing I did when I first fell for a "furriner" . That is trying to figure out how to be together without tying the knot. Unfortunately, there really is no such thing as far as US immigration goes.

Sounds like she has a really good job over there. It's possible she could find an employer over here to sponsor her so that's something the two of you can investigate. The US isn't short though of finance people without work. So check it out, but be realistic.

I don't know how much more time you have before you get out, but it sounds to me like the two of you should just tough it out and get through the LDR until you are free of your obligations. You can both continue to travel back and forth in the meanwhile. Don't overlook the possibility of you moving over there, instead of her moving to the US. If she has an established career in the UK, you could have a very comfortable life over there. Because there really is life after the separation, a couple should carefully consider which country will give them the most fulfilling life. Not the quickest way to be together.

Rebecca...I appreciate your input. I really do. Thanks!

Another work possibility for her is tutoring and/or teaching. Her degree is in English (although she works in Finance), and she used to tutor for an agency in the UK. She did very well with the tutoring, and she's got great recommendations. That's another avenue we're exploring for her. I know that there are visas for teachers specifically...and even if not, she could always apply for work as a tutor/teacher and get a work permit that way.

Again, don't get your hopes up. My son is a teacher and there are plenty of them without work in the US.

There are not specific visa's for teachers.

Does she have a BEd?

Not aware of any special visa for teachers..... on top of it there are tons of teachers who are USC and are out of jobs.... I would not get ver excited about that.

I know someone personally who had been teaching for 6-7 years and was laid off few months back still looking for job... he lives in major metroplex with tons of school district.
