Alan,
The problems are even more complex, you must be a US national or a permanent
US resident to own an aircraft, at least that used to be the case a few
years ago.
If you are not a green card holder then one potential workaround is to
create an LLC whose asset is the aircraft and you own the LLC, but you would
need to get legal advice on this.
As far as your issue around putting your aircraft on the US register you
might like to try the EAA legal services, they were very helpful to
regarding a sales tax issue when I was registering my aircraft.

Hi Guys
The grand plan to transport my trigear(complete with newly finished glider
wings) to the U.S. have been dealt a severe blow by your wonderful FAA. I
have just been informed that they will not allow an experimental aircraft
built abroard to fly in U.S. airspace. There suggestion was to completely
dismantle the aircraft and have it rebuilt in America of at least 51% of it.
Obviously this is a ridiculous suggestion. Surely there must be a way for me
to import the aircraft? All suggestions and assistance would be appreciated
as we plan to move to Florida for the winters and I want to bring my
aircraft with me if at all possible.
Many Thanks
Alan
