Ok so i am a single mother and I work for every dollar I have. I just got a new position at work where I am able to breath after I pay bills and spoil myself. I really want to go visit my fiance especially since its the holidays, but I know (i pray) in a few months Ill have to fly there for his interview then on top of that pay for him to come to the States. AM i the only one that doesnt get to visit their spouse? I only been twice this year once in feb. and then I went for his bday in April. I miss him so much nut tickets are 700.00 roundtrip for friday to sunday and thats a waste. Any advice

Yes it happens. In fact, it happens way more than you think. There are cases where people only got to meet once and the next time they saw each other was when the beneficiary entered the US.

 

If you spend enough time on here you will eventually see many people in the same predicament as you. Or you can read pass stories by doing a search.

 

Separation is an unfortunate part of the process of immigration. It can strengthen or destroy relationships. Although there is little you can do about the long process and being separated; you still have control on which of those two things will effect your relationship.

Yes @NuestraUnion  you are right and actually that is what has helped us grow closer,We had a few issues but we are forced to talk and work through our problems

I agree, flights to JA have been ridiculous over past 2 years. But for starters you don’t “have” to go to his interview. I know you may want to but it’s not required and not necessary if you submitted a solid package. Second, look into flights to FLL or MIA and then a flight to JA from there. Flights from Miami and surrounding are usually cheaper when booked far enough in advance. Lots of us have been there done that so we know how real the struggle is to be apart for any amount of time. Hang in there!!

Just do what you can to support your fiance.  I drove 4 hours each way once or twice I week to spend as much time with my wife while we were doing the spousal visa.  She moved from the Philippines to Mexico to be closer so I did what I could to be with her.   We still texted and video chatted all we could.  Before you know it they will be here.
