How much time have you spent together?

[Cristy 4]

I think it was first visit 5 days, second 7 days, third 10 days...apart while we waited for the visa and then got married.

I have lost track of how much time we spent together..... it was usually only for a weekend though...

the longest time we spent together was the week after we got married.... after marriage we saw each at least every other month but still only for a weekend....

We've known each other for nearly 7 years and after we started dating, I visited him by bus every 10 days... longest we went without seeing eachother was 20 days I think.. and I went nuts. So I really really can't complain. It was hard enough as it was, and I can't imagine being separated for months at a time. I hope everyone who's separated right now is reunited asap!!!!!

We were apart more than we were together. Been together a total of two years before getting married.

My first post here...

We are kicking ourselves for not knowing more of what we were doing, but life moves so fast, and now we are separated.

We met in Business School in Germany. She came to the USA twice on 90 day visa waivers while I finished my last year of school. Then we went to France and did all this craziness over there, got married in July 04. I got my Carte de Sejour (like a green card) and we lived in France while she finished her Bac +4 (University). I worked.

Then, we went to the UK, which was a breeze compared to the USA and France, I was able to make my appointment online, went to the consulate in Paris, got my UK residency in a matter of weeks. I was UK resident on a "Spouse of EU Citizen" visa, as my wife was doing a Masters at LSE. So, we lived in the UK for a year, and decided to come back to the USA. So now here I am, apart from her for the first time since we got married two and half years ago.

This sucks!

Thank god for the internet though....

Wow, I feel so lucky. My hubby and I were together for a month, then apart for six weeks, and then we've been physically together ever since. I was expecting to have to go back to the UK to wait for my K1 interview, but since we withdrew it and filed for AOS I didn't even have to leave him then.

I feel for so many of you.

We haven't seen each other in 11 months and will be mailing out the K-1 tomorrow. We've agreed to stash every dollar we can to move him here and have a decent savings account to fall back on if we need to so we won't be seeing each other til he moves here, we just can't justify spending all that money when we'll really need it in our savings when he moves here. It's hard, but we know it'll pay off.

What an interesting & exciting life you two have shared so far. Bet you have loads of cool stories

[Henia 11]

We have been together for over 3 years and married 3 months... I hope we are together when the visa is granted (and I think we have to be, we will file for DCF later on)...

[rebex05 1]

If only I could be with him... not that easy for him to come here and not exactly able to go there. It has been 10 months since we have seen each other and will be longer than that, as I am planning to go be with him for whenever he has the interview. As of now we are in the end stages of sending in all our paperwork for the I-129F petition... I know we have a long wait. All that to say it has been way too long ... but the wait is more than worth it .

I visited Melinda every six weeks for 3 weeks at a time over the 6 months that we were apart.
