We met online 5 years ago and remained close friends. Katie then moved to the UK on a student Visa to do her masters and is now 3 years into her PHD. we have been together for almost 2 years now and due to problems at home she has had move back home with her mother. We're going to go the K1 fiance visa route and hopefully things will go smoothly as currently being without her is the saddest experience of my life so far.
