Hi there. I've found this forum really helpful - so firstly thank you everyone for taking the time out to make this such an informative and helpful board.
I was born in the US, but have lived all of my life in the UK. I hold both valid US and UK passports and have visited the US multiple times.
My girlfriend of 6 years is a UK citizen. We have lived together for 6 years having met at university (I'm 26, she's 28). During that time we have visited the States 3 times together for short vacations.
We would now like to stay in the US for an extended amount of time (i.e. 6-12 months). Obviously, this is beyond the 3 months that my girlfriend can get with the VWP.
While there, I would get a job and we would also get rental income from properties that we have in the UK. We also have savings, so supporting our trip financially will not be an issue.
My question is, how likely is it that my girlfriend will get a B2 Tourist Visa, being that she is a UK citizen and is applicable for the VWP?
Also, will me being a USC have a negative effect on any application?
