Not sure what visa to apply for, im british, shes american. We don't want to get married, and havent been living together for that long. She also wont qualify for the HSMP, not having that many qualifications. Any suggestions?

Sometimes you have to wait for the good things in life mate, suggest you wait until you leave uni, get a job and show some income.

Well am thinking of maybe moving to the US instead once ive finished my degree in games programming, from what ive read so far it shouldnt be too hard for me to move there, especially considering its likely that my uncle's business in the US could employ me. We could even move back to the UK after 2 years, applying for an unmarried partners visa for her.

Think it's four years for UPV if living time abroad. Not sure tho!

No it is "only" two years.

However, if the couple have lived together outside the UK for at least four years AND the visa applicant has already passed the Life in the UK Citizenship test, then the UPV might be issued as ILE ..... indefinite leave to enter.
