I would like to hear your opinions about the best course of action, I am qutie frankly rather confused

I already called a number of solicitors, but they all gave me rather different versions. In any case, these are the facts
1. My girlfiend (american citizen) was on a post-study tier 1 visa. Just a few days before the visa expired, she left the country
2. After her visa expired, she tried to come back as a tourist but she was refused clearance on the ground that she had a boyfriend here (me, italian citizen) and they suspected her to want to overstay her tourist visa
3. She was forcefully put on a plane (not at her expense) and sent back
We have a serious relationship lasting for more than 2 years now and we intend to get married. We are thinking to apply for a fiance visa, however..
-since she was rejected at the border, does she have a ban on her? do we need to try to get rid of it before applying?
-if she has a ban, would it stop us from moving (and getting married) in any other EU country?
-as I am not an UK citizen, does this make the process to apply for a fiance visa more complicated?
I would really be happy to hear your opinions and experiences about it, I am really worried and confused
