Please don't be so afraid of the Schengen zone. If everyone follows this advice there will be no more US / European marriages. You can hop between Schengen and UK or Ireland, or Croatia, or Romania indefinitely. Nobody will care. The UK is the hardest of them all -- asking tons of questions. Nobody else is so tough. So go to Ireland. Nicer people and much better weather. (just one of these is true) If you want to go to the UK, go there from Ireland. Nobody will ask a single question then & there will be no stamp. 15 years ago it was much easier. I lived in the Czech Republic for > 8 years, without even bothering to get a Visa. Many people I knew did the same. Never heard of anyone having a problem except for one friend who was a little bit drug crazed and burnt out and had a bit of a spat with a border officer on the way out. Now CZ is schengen, so you need a Visa, or you need to stay just 3 months in 6.
