My wife and I were married in the Philippines on March 21, and I had to come back to the states on March 25. The first few months went by excruciatingly slowly. Being apart from the one you love is never easy. We talk on Yahoo Messenger twice a day usually. 5 AM here is 8 PM for her, and we can almost always talk then, since we got her a laptop last December. Lately, she has not been able to come to talk in the evenings here because there is no connection at her work right now. Just hang in there. It is by no means easy. Accept that you are apart for now and that will change after you've gone through the process, but that takes a lot of time, especially when you are missing your loved one. Just talk online as much as you can with your husband. Set up a regular schedule to talk. It's not the same as being together, I know. But sharing the minutae of day to day happenings is comforting. Nothing can take the place of being together. It's just a sad fact of life that there are many of us on here who are separated from our loved ones. Time and patience will bring us all together.

It takes 8 months for us to see each other back again since we started our visa process, and now here we are reunited back again and happy together.

Hello kababayan!

Just keep in mind that the kind of distance that you have is merely physical and it's temporary. You are doing something to conquer that, as in by processing the K3 Visa. You can also make use of this very same space to solidify your bond as a couple. I trust that you are creative enough to stir things up like sending him e-cards, recording a video of you dancing or getting theatrical and uploading the clips for him to see, and even stripping for him in front of the cam. Joke! Ahehehe...

It won't be long and you'll see your husband again. Remember, too, that he is not the sun and you are not a planet in the solar system. Ergo, your world doesn't revolve around him.

God knows your deepest desires. Keep the faith burning. :thumbs:

Educate yourself about the country you are about to move to. The govenment for example.

Do the same for the State you are moving to.

It looks like you will be in Oklahoma. What do you know of the people there? The history of Oklahoma is unlike any other State & that has a huge impact on the people that live there. How about the weather there? What about the food there? Where will you buy food to prepare what you like?

You are in a perfect position to prepare yourself for your new life. Use your time wisely; not worrying about what you can not control.

It always is hard, but always remember that distance isn't forever and at least one of you isn't on the moon. :)

And you have taken the first step to being with each other, by filing the K-3.

I find that reading always helps the mind wander off and it gets your mind off of things. Another good suggestion which was listed about is to study about the place you're going to live, even if it's just some history on it. And if anything, find yourself a hobby. For example, if you enjoy cooking, go out and cook something new.

Good luck :)

Thank you for the advice you given to me. I really appreciated it. I did the best I can to not felt miserable everytime I thinking my husband living without him. I always have time to talk to him but the saddest part he is always busy almost everyday since he flew back to his country. There's a sometimes he did not contact me for 3 days I got worried to him. I dont know what's happening. I cant kept myself to not wondering why? I felt terrible that moment I cried every night. I am trying to be strong for my husband as much as I can.

Thank you for your suggestions I did this already but not effective on me. I played games on computer too. I guess making hard for me when I did not talking to my hubby everyday. One day passed by without talking to him it feels like Forever.

Its hard being away from ur loved one but with time you learn how to cope......lots of phone calls (or other means of communication) and just read as much about all u will need in the coming months....I have to visit every so often....but everyone is different!

Love has no boundaries, no limitations. Love flows like a river, silent and calm, it gives us strength and shelters us from every storm.

I can totally feel your misery as I am in the same situation. Waiting for USCIS approval everyday is like a living hell for both of us. We married on March 12 and he left for Las Vegas on March 24..that was the saddest day so far. What I do whenever I miss him, I just look at the photos, read his text messages and IM's or just send him a naughty message. We chat on Yahoo everyday (including weekends) from 10am- 3pm here while I'm at work, hehehe...sometimes we eat together (on cam) and do photoshare and just make fun of photos. We also call each other but not often and it's fine with me because I know how expensive international calls are but when we do, we talk for more than 20 minutes. It's hard to be away from each other but just always think that it's just temporary and you're not the only couple in this situation. Goodluck!
