It sounds as if time apart is inevitable, but i guess that's the beauty of the VWP. I assume i could still travel to USA on the VWP even if i have an immigration application on going?

It seems to me right now that the complicated part is that you two don't know what you want to do for the next couple of years other than 'be together'. Once you've done some forward planning excluding immigration, the immigration steps will be simple (since there are few options).

Figure out where she is going to go to school first, if finishing school is a priority. I haven't read your past posts.

Yes, it's allowed. It's a good idea to bring proof of your ties to the UK, in case the POE officer asks (i.e., letter from your employer stating when you're expected back at work, school schedule, proof of mortgage or rent...whatever applies to you).

Keep in mind that back-to-back trips are frowned upon. General rule of thumb is to spend more time outside the USA in between trips than you were just inside. For example, if you come to visit for 85 days, spend 85+ days outside the USA before attempting another visit.

Your original post said you two want to live in the UK, is that still correct?

Umm... Simply reading something doesn't make it up-to-date and current.

If someone (like the OP) is brand new to immigration and all that it involves, how would they know "only by reading it" whether the guide information's up-to-date or 10 years or even 20 years old? They wouldn't.

The VJ guide does not indicate anywhere when the information was last added or updated. The BE guide, by contrast, is a wiki and a quick click on the "history" tab will tell you exactly when it was last updated and by whom.
