Welcome to VJ and good luck in whatever journey you two choose.

I'd suggest that you both - hopefully they can answer some of your questions.

My husband came here on K1 and that was a great choice for us.

Hi,

Welcome to this community. Good luck.

Hi, my name is Andrew and I've found this website after doing some research, and becoming very overwhelmed!

I'm 21 years old and living in the UK. My girlfriend is the same age and living the the US. We've been in a long-distance relationship for nearly 6 years now, and we just want to finally be together! But not being terribly smart on this topic, I have absolutely no-idea what our options are.

I don't know how I can legally be with my girlfriend or how much money I'll need. I was hoping to find some direction or advice!

I have lived in the US, 2 years ago I applied for a student visa and studied at university. But the tuition costs got the better of me and I was forced to return home. For the past year I've been working full time as a Senior Web Developer, (in the UK) with skills that I can use where ever I am. I'm hoping this will help us and our case.

I've also been able to put away some savings to start our life together - but its difficult to really gauge how much money I will need to carry this out.

Its a really scary and exciting time, I love my girlfriend very much and where I believe this long-distance has really strengthened our relationship we both feel it's time to move to the next step.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Andrew.
