We are a USC x Dutch couple in a long-distance relationship. We met in an online community for a shared interest, starting out first as friends, then best friends, and eventually lovers. We have met in person many times over the years (every 2-3 months) and have spent a great deal of time in each other's countries over the course of our visits, but have never actually lived together. We are currently doing master's programs in our respective countries during this CR1 visa process.
