If you have incontrovertible evidence of a long-term relationship, and can satisfy beyond doubt the support and accommodation provisions of the Rules, the quickest way to resolve the situation, in my opinion, is for her to leave the UK and for you to get married in her country. There really would be no grounds to refuse a spouse EC application.
She would of course put her job at risk by doing this, because she might need more than a couple of weeks holiday to accomplish it all, but to apply here would take much longer with no guarantees of success, and once her situation becomes known her employer won't thank her for potentially incurring a £10000 fine on him.
