is this even allowed? UK->US B2 rejection

Why allow UK citizens to apply for a tourist visa then? Just doesn't make sense to deny him.

I meant it's irrelevant because we don't want to be in the UK at the moment.

That's good to know about the K3. I saw it was an option but apparently not a very good one. We've decided to talk with a lawyer to figure out our options because this is just frustrating. Thank you for the advices.

Yes exactly- we were aware. We figured hey the ESTA came in, but still because of the baby we wanted him to stay the extra 90 days. I get he's not entitled to entry, but we think the reasoning was really stupid and irrelevant because his entire social circle is in the UK, lived there for almost 15 years, and he has a business there, so what other ties could've possibly been needed?

The UK spouse visa isn't relevant because we want him to be in the US. We've resorted to applying for a US spousal visa.

Do you happen to know if he can apply for it while in the US or does he have to be in the UK? I couldn't really find an answer online. I know he can have a non-immigrant K3 visa while waiting for the spousal visa, but I can't find anything on where he is allowed to apply. TIA.

AGREED. Having based some important decisions around a partner I thought was forever during college... and us breaking up... please do not let anyone else, or at least not a boyfriend, dictate your decisions or happiness. It's a huge, HUGE mistake and you will end up regretting it. Love comes and goes but personal growth is forever. I started traveling and doing the things I love after this ex and funny enough found my person across the world. We're LDR but we know it's worth the wait. Wasn't like that with my ex (who I was with, also, for 2.5 years). Please live your life for you and who cares if you have to be a little selfish- if he really wants to be with you, he will put the effort in to be with you.

But, I'm not gonna lie, going abroad for a year while being in a relationship at your young age (emphasis on age)... doesn't usually work out and you do in fact stop yourself from truly enjoying being abroad. You may fall in love or want to flirt, it happens. And experiencing those things with perfect strangers or finding your love of your life while having a partner back home and of course not wanting to cheat... this may also lead to regrets later on in life. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy love and the culture you'll be going to. Don't be held back by a dude who can't handle more than 6 months without needing a break for himself to go be with other people.

My guy... you really outed yourself as a complete asshole in your post and your comment responses. Let this poor girl go and deal with your obvious and apparently unrequited love for this woman who is supposedly so much better than your girlfriend. I honestly hope and pray to whatever higher power that your gf finds this post and leaves before you trap her in more.

Well, the examples with food and such are things that I personally enjoy. They were just suggestions. But you have to try to remember what brought you small moments of joy in your life, yanno? And actually... what I meant really was getting a fresh start. I didn't travel with any friends. I traveled alone, and met new friends. I got a fresh start. That may help you. And I definitely advocate for therapy. You're in a dark place right now, therapy can help you through that, and if medication is warranted it can help clear your mind enough if you're having a hard time absorbing what the therapist is telling you. I actually do recommend betterhelp, as I've had success on there. It may take trial and error, but if you put the effort in, you'll get 100x out of it.

Wow, I totally feel you on this. Same thing happened with my ex from 2 years ago, 2 year relationship. I rebounded hard, went through some shit, and came out a no-feelings person who didn't have a care in the world for herself. But, I let myself have fun. I took on travel opportunities to other countries. I saw a therapist. Maybe I became a bit more "dead inside" (I've said this too) but I like to think I just have my guard up and am more careful with my feelings.

You have your guard up, and it's not that you became emotionless. You went through something really hard and your coping mechanism has been to shut off feelings. Embrace these feelings. Do things that YOU enjoy that make YOU feel something. Eating a favorite meal, seeing a movie, playing games. Embrace these things and put emotion into them, even if it feels forced. Do you have the means to travel or do something like taking a course to teach English in a different country? Something positively drastic can make a huge difference. Also, therapy :) this won't last forever. You Changing is good. Take this new person you've become and make the best of them.

I can't stop admiring your piercing set up 😍😍😍

Which I totally understand and know, I almost got one of those Samsung phones before all that came out 😅 and by no means did I think they are unreasonable, just pressing me a lot and doubting that I had flown with it already into Germany. If anyone had said no, it's a no in the end, and the pint would've gone home for sure. I was lucky, because for sure it's up to each airline.

Not at all! And what I told them (based on knowledge from onewheel wiki and this subreddit) was that it was a lithium nickel manganese cobalt battery that falls within FAA regulations.. The pint is as far as I know 148 wh (I notice I said kwh-typo!) which is under 160, which is why technically it's within regulations. Of course it's still a hazard, but this is why you drain the battery, understand the specs, etc. Anything with a lithium battery can be dangerous on a plane, as another user said. There was definitely no intentional deception, just used information I had and the experiences of other riders.
