It has exactly 1 year since i have seen my fiance and to hold, hug and kiss her it has been really hard.

Yes, it is hard. Hey, your interview is the end of December right? Will you fly there to meet her?

Yeah, it affects everyone. Hopefully, this waiting period will be over soon. I just hope that we will be together in person soon. It is hard to see someone behind the screen. It is hard to not able to touch, hug and kiss him. 

You perfectly stated what I am feeling and going through everyday since he went home. I miss him terribly. :( Skype calls and messenger conversations help a lot to ease the pain but they're really not enough....really not. I am teary-eyed as I am typing this just because I can relate so much to you. I know that almost all of us are in the same boat of emotions right now. It's really difficult to be in the limbo of waiting and darkness. But I know in my heart that everything will be worth it and we will all be with our soulmates and the love of our lives soon. Hang in there dear, just like all of us do. Sending hugs to you

Yes, it is hard. You can see him on video calls, but you can touch him. Whenever you try to reach to him, you can only touch the screen. Hopefully, we will get our NOA2 soon and all is going well and we will get an approval during the interview too. Thank you so much for your support. xoxo.

@Perfect two 💑 I completely understand you. I have anxiety disorder and this process has been slowly killing me inside! Every single day I think "what if.." for at least one second, but then I try to focus that it will be alright and try to think about stuff that will happen when I get there. We talk about so many plans, ee're tryig to decide the place we will get married, I bought a new suitcase for my shoes lol I facetime his kids that I miss SO MUCH and we talk about all the board games we will play when i get there. I already have my interview scheduled ans it's in aboit 10 days, I have my POE figured out and hopefully it will happen exactly like I'm picturing!

 

my point is... we have to take it easy, do whatever it takes, because we HAVE a real relationship, as someone said before, I'm putting a lot of trust on the interviewers sense, he/she will know we are real.

 

on the day of the interview our process will be around 200 days, and I don't see him since march... just can't wait to be home!

 

my best wishes to you, I have no doubts it will work out.

I think I have anxiety disorder too. I keep questioning "what if" not only to myself but, I did that to him too. Yesterday, I keep asking him what if it doesn't go as what we plan, what we will do next. I'm really afraid to imagine that we need to be apart again. I'm afraid that I will be shattered by seeing him go to departure gate without me again. I'm afraid to not being with him. Actually, we already talk about lots of things. We did that the most to make me forget a bit about what is going on between me and my family. Maybe we should come out with a more interesting topic to be discussed. 

Best wish to you too! Good luck with the interview. And hope everything will go as what you plan. 

 

Btw, just curious, how many bags you will bring it there? On which website do you plan to buy your flight ticket?:D

I don't want to lose him either. I hope that we will get an approval on the first application so that we don't need to go through this again. :(

I totally understand and relate to your story.  My family when they heard pretty much turned their backs to me.  I was already alone but now they hardly talk to me.  I've seen them once this year for 2 days.  I get no more text messages from my sister.  She doesn't even want to talk about it.  Doesn't look for any good in her and our relationship.  So I've made a decision that that was their choice and I'll move on with the one who actually wants to be with me.  They'll be the one by my side the rest of my life.  Rest of family will move on and get married and do trips and stuff so I need to make my own path in life.  Better to be with someone you want and love than to be with someone you don't just to please everyone else, right?  A lot of it is just not understanding it and us and having a closed mind.  I didn't understand either till I'm going through it.  We argue a lot too because it's gone so long.  As mentioned, was to be 6 months and now it's more like 8 when done.  Sometimes we wish we had just gotten married and done other route since not saving much time anyways now.  Wanted to be together sooner than later.  We keep holding on same as you.  We're all in this together and you've got friends here you can count on and support you.  It's why I joined, for the support and fun and make new friends who understand.

 

I wish you the best and all of us the best.  I would love to see everyone here approved and married by next year.  Stay strong and keep talking.  I'm also 13 hours apart too.  It's tough but don't want regret later you gave up and think of them all the time but be with someone else.

 

Best of luck!  Keep chatting here and get the support you need from your friends (here and in person).

Thanks for the best wishes! I will update you guys after the interview, my medical exams will be tomorrow and it's gonna be a loooong day.

 

im bringing only two suitcases haha not paying for extra bags! One for clothes and one for shoes. I mean, I've lived in the US and I can remember how cheap clothes are there, but I did not like to buy shoes there haha so I'm taking 20 pairs with me D: yup, might be a lil crazy haha

 

There's this "airproject travel" website with nice prices for tickets coming and leaving south america, so I'm probably getting my tickets from there. POE will be on december 8th if everything works out as planned! 

 

What about you? Too many luggages? It's just hard to decide what to take haha

Hi, thank you for your reply. It is nice to be here where I can find someone that goes through the same situation like me. To be honest, I really don't want to give up on him. I don't think I will be able to find a guy that can be my other half other than him. Hopefully, we will get our approval soon and we don't need to go through this process again. Because this process starts killing me from inside. We did argue a lot too. I think the main reason for the argument is because we are not with each other in person (long distance relationship). That is what one of the thing I afraid for. I afraid if we need to go through this again and need to be apart again, we might end up breaking up because there will be lots of argument. I know that most of the argument is because I'm getting upset. But, I can't avoid it either. Sometimes, being here alone makes me feel more emotional and easily getting upset.

Thank you so much for the wish. Good luck with your journey too! :D

Actually, I did buy 2 new luggage (1 is 28" and another one is 24"). :lol: Since my previous luggage was broken when we have our trip to Australia. Still deciding what to take with me. I don't have lots of things other than clothes. But, I bought few pairs of shoes yesterday! Both suitcases will be check-in or one of it will be hand carry?

Just now, Perfect two 💑 said:

Actually, I did buy 2 new luggage (1 is 28" and another one is 24"). :lol: Since my previous luggage was broken when we have our trip to Australia. Still deciding what to take with me. I don't have lots of things other than clothes. But, I bought few pairs of shoes yesterday! Both suitcases will be check-in or one of it will be hand carry?

Both of them are 28" haha so they will be checked in. Well I can check in two big ones and take a small on as a carry on, and thats what I will do. The worst part for me is like, some presents that I got and I wanted to take with me, sentimental stuff, but I won't beable to. Oh well, I will just slowly take it to the US when I come to visit mom or when she goes to visit me. The most important thing is to be with our love ❤️
