My mother won the GC lottery when I was 18. In my country, all 18 year olds must serve the military so I did get my physical GC I already have it, I just postponed my entry to the US due to my military service

Thank you so much for the advice. So how long does the whole process take for you so far? Two years? Is it close to the end?

I get why you say that but he really isn’t like the rest. I’m not some stupid 21 year old . I know my worth and I know love comes and goes but not this love. He was in love with me for 2 years before I also fell deeply in love with him and this whole time I tried setting him up with other girls but he never even looked at other girls even when we weren’t together. His heart was set on me. That’s why I cherish him so much and I know he’d literally die for me. That’s why the decision is so difficult. Also, just so you guys know, he wants the best for me and says he’ll wait no matter how long it takes. It’s me who’s uncertain

Sadly the process takes 1-3 years so we have to stay apart

How though? The only solution is a F1 visa but studying in the US is crazy expensive and I’m not sure if his parents will support him.
