As a Brit who lived abroad with her family, I met John in high school while we were still in our teens - eleven and a half years ago! We have already shared so many milestones (prom, high school graduation, college graduation) and don't want to miss any more! After lots of moving about and family problems and general life drama, John and I have finally been able to apply for this visa so that we can be together properly, without interruption, for the rest of our lives. Hopefully this time next year I'll be married to my high school sweetheart :)!
