I have seen mine three weeks ago and next time will be after getting the visa!

Usually we see each other every 2-3 months for a few weeks. Sad.

I saw my fiance a month and a half ago and we will see each other for Christmas again if everything go smoothly :)

I have a question for couples who got their approval NOA2 before VJ timeline says, is this your first marriage?

We last saw each other last July...I miss him too much I think I am dying!

So thankful there is Skype, I get to see each other faces and hear each other voices whenever we want (L)

I would die if there was no FaceTime or Skype. ;)

It's great to have the technical possibilities nowadays! I think that makes long-distance relationships way easier than a few years ago.

My fiancée and I met online in May of 2014. We started dating in August of 2014. I traveled to the Philippines end of May and stayed through the month of June 2015 at which time we got engaged. We tried to apply for a tourist visa so she could come for Christmas but her visa was denied on grounds that they did no believe she had anything compelling her to return home after her visit was up. It will not be until May again, God willing, that we will see each other again, but this time we won't have to leave each other again.
