I have two problems with your situation

1. Ultimatums
2. "Paying for everything"

Marriages are not supposed to be one way relationships, its about compromise

She seems extremely naive financially, or as another poster mentioned she is looking for a get out.

If you were unemplyed or a contractor etc in the UK then it would be less to give up, but your business lends a different light

I think you should, as another poster suggested, tell her to get a job in NYC (known around the world as a cheap place to live) and then follow her out there

good luck whatever you do

Thought about a long holiday in the US?

How is she going to afford to move over on her own? How will she be able to pay rent without a job while looking? how will you be able to afford to live without working etc....lot to think about...and don't forget medical will be a major burner unless you get luck with a half decent job...

Just out of curiosity.... how old are you guys? Is there a significant age difference between you?

This ultimatum sounds like her escape route and that way in her head when she leaves you for the USA she can feel less guilty about dumping you.

I second this, I was thinking the same thing when I first read your post. This might not be the case, but it would be worth while to ask her, maybe not right out, but just try to delve a bit deeper to see what she is really thinking.

I'm the American citizen in our relationship and I understand about living in the UK and being homesick.....cue my followers/admirers/fans. :D Although I really wanted to move back for family reasons and I also thought I wanted to be back here. I can't ever imagine giving my husband such an ultimatium, regardless of how homesick I was.

But, after reading your posts, I'm just wondering if you don't already know the answer to your question/dilemma?
