As for helping with the long distance thing, the best thing me and my fiance ever did to help us get through it is to each buy a webcam. failing that then at least a instant messenger. time differences can always be tricky but you just have to work around it. Something fun to try that can make you feel closer to her if you have either webcams or instant messenger is to watch/listen to the same movie/tv show/album at the same time.

hope this helps.

good luck

My advice to surviving a long distance relationship is:

Communication, Communication, Communication.....

You need to make the one you love to feel like they are part of your life and they should do the same back.

The only way to do this is by communicating what your day was like and how you feel. Dont forget to include the little details also.

This will make them feel like they are there.

You need to become a story teller, because this will allow them to paint a picture in their mind and make them feel part of your life.

When you see her again at the airport:

Smile when you see her,

Dont take your eyes off her,

Embrace her with a loving hug,

Kiss her passionately,

and whisper in her ear,

how you have missed her and that you love her so.

Enjoy your time together, these moments are priceless...

no matter how difficult it gets in being apart, always do your best to stay positive and remember what you are doing this for!

Chat, emails, Skype, and all other crazy communication stuff that you could think of. Might want to invite her to join VJ too... It makes me feel so much better.

Sweeeeetttt I just want to wish you both good luck and enjoy your moments together now that you have time to be in each others arms. I think the most important thing is that you fill up the days you have not seen each in person and just be your selves and enjoy the precious time you will be together.

261 days!!!!.. what a torture to US Citizens... people who come here on H1B visas can get their loved ones in 2 weeks...this is so not fair for all American Citizens... if you think about this, its delaying our progression and it is such a complete wastage of time.. i dont mind if the processing timeframe is like 6 months old. but if it exceeds more than that its really so hard to sustain.

Edit: you are the OP!

Out of curiosity, your timeline says you sent your petition in to VSC in late May/early June, so the government hasn't kept you waiting for 261 days... Or am I misreading your timeline?

Congrats! And i think one key to long distance relationships is patience. Take things one day at a time.

I know how it is to be so far from the one you love When you see her at the airport, hug her, kiss her and tell her how much you miss her!!! Oh my God!!!! I miss my fiance!!! I remember when I saw him after 6 months (he came to Peru to visit me), while I was waiting for him, I felt my heart beating so heart, I couldnt breath!!! and when I saw him, we didnt say a word, we just hugged each other, kissed each other and we forgot about everybody else!!!
