But I'm afraid it's complicated for her to be able to work in UK.
We both decided to not marry yet, as it is a bit too early.

She is graduated in Hotel and Restaurant Management and has 2 years of working experience.

But we don't know if it's possible and what is required.

Could you please give us information and advices ?

Thanks
Welcome to the forum. Without wishing to disillusion either of you, I have to point out that ... even taking into account your girlfriend's qualifications ... it could prove rather difficult to obtain a job in her chosen field at present, due to the economic recession. Certainly she would need a work permit to come to the UK for this purpose in the first place.

Having said that, I can appreciate the logic behind such a move, given the close proximity to France ... and, with this in mind, it might be worthwhile awaiting a more accurate assessment from someone here with more knowledge of the employment situation than myself, since I'm now retired.
