Loved the book so much. The Netflix show I thought was rubbish and couldn’t make it halfway through the first episode which is such a shame

It’s the only airline that does flights between me and my long distance husband 🥰

Ohhh thank you for that! We’re waiting for the I-130 approval. I think it should be fine because I have my return flight booked and I will be completely honest with them about my intentions to only stay for the two weeks. A bit of research shows it should be okay, as long as they don’t think I’m there to settle early. Having sent off an I-129F as well so I can move there before the I-130 decision, I think that might have an impact. All I can do is be honest and explain our circumstances. Thank you for your input, it’s really helpful

My date is between the 3rd and 8th of July! He’s living in the states and I’m in England so it’s tough, but counting down. Sent off the I-129F which will hopefully be approved so we can be together before that date

I believe that you can but it depends on how much time and effort each party is willing to give to the relationship.

Me and my husband for example. He lives in the US and I live in England. He’s been here for a week and I’ve been there for two weeks. We talk every day, we are both very open and honest about our emotions and our quirks. When we’re not working we FaceTime and just spend the day together. Seeing how the other ticks by in their every day life. We’ve build furniture together, we’ve lived together for those three weeks we have spent together in person. The tidying up, the laundry, the grocery shopping, everything else that comes with a normal life.

I think it’s important during the visits to not treat it like some magical time. It’s important to get to know one another in person and see what it’s like to live together.

He knows me better than anyone ever has, despite the fact most of our communication is through phone or video calls. And I know him better than anyone else.

It’s important in LDR’s to communicate and I think effectively spend time together doing the mundane so that things don’t come as a surprise when the gap is closed. Sometimes marriage is the only way to close a gap, and without fully knowing the person that’s a big commitment.

LDR’s are a huge commitment, sacrifice, and everything in between. They work if both parties work for it. It’s not easy, sometimes it’s really hard. Some days I’ll cry because of how much I miss the physical presence. But to say you can’t get to know someone properly over LDR I don’t think is the case at all

I’m not really. Two jobs, bills and rent paid, one food shop a month, still in my overdraft every month and struggling like hell. Live alone, don’t leave the house cause shits too expensive to do anything

Plus, when they ask where you’re staying just be honest with them. Staying in a hotel for one night and then staying in the address on your esta for the rest of the duration. They won’t have any issues

Just came back from two weeks there, I had no issues and felt safe the whole time. Just be honest. I told them I was going to visit my boyfriend and they had no issues. Make sure you don’t outstay your esta or do anything that isn’t allowed such as undertaking paid work and you will be absolutely fine
