US partner moving to UK

My story.
I met my girlfriend online and we have been flipflopping between visiting each other. We both have good, very stable jobs and we want to take the leap of her moving to the UK and she is willing to give up her job to do so. I am also willing to support her if she is unable to work for a period of time. She is an accountant but because of where we will live (countryside) there isn't really any sponsorship jobs about for her and she would probably need to retrain anyway.
The catch is that she can't get a family visa as we haven't 'lived together' for 2 years. Funnily enough it is impossible with me being in the Armed forces and her living in another country! Seems slightly unreasonable to me!

Has anybody been in a similar situation or anybody have any advice? Thanks.

Then only option might be the fiancee visa where she can come to marry in UK or spouse visa where you both marry outside the UK.

Thanks. It's a shame that we need to be married (now or soon) in order to be together.
Thanks for your reply.

This would be the case if you looked to move to the US too on the basis of your relationship.

Thems the rules.
