So much to take in!
Can anyone please help me?
My boyfriend and I are looking to move to the US in 2 years time, initially on a temporary basis but with a view to it becoming permanent. I'm a primary school teacher with a Bachelors in primary education, i've been teaching for 4 years. My boyfriend is a firefighter and has been for the last 3 years. My main questions are;
Is it easier for one of us to get a visa than the other?
In which case, would it be better/easier if we were married?
Are British teachers able to teach in American schools?
Where do we start?

On the basis of what you have said, my guess is that your chances of getting to the US are slim to none, I'm afraid.

Re: So much to take in!
Well, let's start here. Are either of you a US citizen? This forum is specific to marriage-based visas where one partner is a USC (I realize it's not all that clear, welcome!).
If not, as nettlebed guesses, I'll move you over to the other Immigration forum, and reading that link is a first start for you.
I can promise you one thing: The UK firefighter's pension will be a hella lot better than a US one!

If they have or obtain the certifications required by the state in which they'd like to teach.
But be aware that US teachers are being laid off left and right as school districts find their tax revenues declining.
