    Yeah, you're being very nice and reasonable to me, thank you. I don't wanna burn that bridge, of course.
  3. Daydreamer23
    Okay, I've got it. Thank you very much. You are far nicer than some who said, "I'm out." I'm glad we have people like you.
  4. Daydreamer23
    1) Yes 2) Because I don't belong here at all despite being a similar Asian outwardly. 3) Yeah, wondering never ceases. Why not apply for asylum if B2 gets denied? You're out. Thank you. I wish you the best in everything. I wish people were more considerate and kind to each other. Many straight people don't really understand my community's pain.

    Okay, thank you for replying to my desperate post, then.

    I'll have to return, so will definitely return back to Japan. Let's put what we talked about before aside, can I apply for an asylum visa?
  7. Daydreamer23
    That is what I am rehearsing for. I shouldn't be so emotional about how badly I wanna live in the US. "Inhale, exhale, I'll be OK," my inner voice is like.

    But, literally, I'm crying for help. How hard for LGBT people to live in the rest of the world? It's the same as I'm trying to escape from emotional/social torture to a free world.

    Idk, I've never lived in a western country.

    I'm not lying. I just need to smoothly pass that interview so I can see him and also travel a little. I like him and he likes me, we know it. Why are you talking about burning chances?
  11. Daydreamer23
    Yeah, he's a friend and a boyfriend at the same time. How can you call someone your SO when you haven't had physical intimacy with him in 2years? I have already paid $180ish for a visa. My interview is scheduled for the end of this month, OMG. Europe you describe is pretty much closed to me. Israel is the only one I can travel to without undergoing a cumbersome visa application process.
  12. Daydreamer23
    Yeah, I'll be truthful. I hope I will have a lenient visa officer who understands my community. Yes and No.
  13. Daydreamer23
    We're not boyfriends because we haven't seen each other in almost two years. We're more like penpals who can't wait to meet in person. I've heard that naming one's "boyfriend/girlfriend" isn't smart because visa officers presume every B2 applicant has immigration intent and would pursue a "green card" sponsored by his American bf/gf. The youtube channel I'm watching is: https://www.youtube.com/c/ArgoSocial btw.
  14. Daydreamer23
    Why, please? I'm not going to mention him as a boyfriend or fiancee. I'll say he's a friend who will host me during my stay.

    I'd like to go sightseeing in California or New York during my university holiday season this year or next year. I identify as a "gay" student (22) and was wondering if telling the visa officer my true reason for traveling is a good idea. If he/she turns out homophobic, will he/she automatically deny me a B2 tourist visa on the spot? Or do they adhere to some strict moral code that prevents them from discriminating against marginalized people? The areas I mentioned are liberal, diverse, friendly, accepting, and inspiring. For years, I've wanted to visit their gay towns, the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood, and the Statue of Liberty. I want to make him/her feel somewhat emotional so that he/she believes I have a valid reason for traveling. Should I remain silent on LGBTQ issues in general? Is it a plus or a minus to reveal my sexual orientation?

    Sorry for the delayed response. I reached my post limit yesterday, so I could only read the comments you all left for me. Today, I'm going to clear my mind, summarize things, and submit lengthy posts, Cathi, davidvs, aurelius22 I wanted to reply so badly. My American friend says otherwise. He doesn't think my B-2 will be denied. In fact, I applied for B-2 and paid the application fee of approx. 26000円 ($180) yesterday after speaking with Jorgedig. The fees are non-refundable. So, I'm hoping you'll all advise me to take this route (B-2) for the time being. I could be a complete moron. But let me act young and dumb shortly because I didn't have a good childhood (big chunks were bullying at school, domestic violence at home, and depression). The following are the reasons: 1) I am a recipient of a Japanese government scholarship. I was awarded a highly sought-after scholarship. I will present this fact to the immigration officer. Japan is more advanced than the rest of the world in many ways and has a high standard of living. He/she may believe I'm not going to blow this opportunity I worked so hard for. 2) Japan is the place I call home these days more than Mongolia; I'm financially and academically connected to this country, but not emotionally or socially. If I leave this country, I will lose a lot of money, my degree, and possibly my bright future. I will also present this fact to the immigration officer. 3) I'm a global member of an NGO called oSTEM. I'll bring up that I'm affiliated with a US-based organization. This organization is dedicated to LGBT STEM students and professionals. They do, however, only operate in the US, UK, and Canada. Unfortunately, because I didn't live in the same country as them, I never felt like I belonged. I'm going to shamelessly ask them to assist me as well. 4) I purposefully chose a more relaxed, less crowded embassy for the interview location. So it must have something to do with the success rate, right? I'll put on my natural smile and compliment his/her outfit to brighten his/her mood, haha. The probability of success jumps may jump slightly. Something is better than nothing. 5)I'll need to make a copy of my bankbook to prove I have enough money. Because I can afford to travel, the problem is my passport was issued from ... I mean, surprisingly I didn't find the phrase "third-world country" to be offensive. I am sorry anyways, you seemed a bit offended, aurelius22. aurelius22, your story is so inspiring, and I completely understand you. I shed tears. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do. katiana, Yeah I can't imagine Serbia being LGBT-friendly. I understand your pain. Coco8, Japanese borders are closed to individual tourism. We don't know how long it will stay that way. Knome, Thank you, what a nice story. I'm just so happy for you two. AffableAndy, Thank you, buddy. I feel like being int. student of Japan has similar status as being int. student of the US. aurelius22, that's why I came off as "overly confident". I'll look into Thailand. I felt blessed because of you all. You care.
  17. Daydreamer23
    Thank you again. Yeah, Meeting in Thailand could be one possibility. But, that is next in line. Firstly, I will see if my visa gets approved. I have no reason to overstay or anything. I am close to getting my degree from Japan. Those immigration people have no reason to distrust me.
  18. Daydreamer23
    Thank you for your reply. In order for my visa approval chance to increase, what should I do? Well, I might have to invite him if my visa gets rejected, but like Japan doesn't allow casual tourists by closing its' borders at the moment.
  19. Daydreamer23
    Thank you for the table. I really appreciate your help. But, those 18 countries have no significance. You cherry-picked the best countries I can visit without a visa. (Russia is ironically the most developed one among them, but like come on, it doesn't do anything to me.) We both aren't interested in going to these countries.
  20. Daydreamer23
    Noted. I have a university to graduate from. I wouldn't try to misuse the system and overstay my visa ofc. I will return, I promise.
  21. Daydreamer23
    I checked their website. Like every piece of information, there is tailored for Japanese people with a Japanese passport. It was a frustrating experience. But. yeah. I will check every corner of their website.
  22. Daydreamer23
    No, I don't have a B visa yet. Should I hurry? How long does it take to a B2 visa to be approved? I'm almost gonna buy round-trip tickets.
  23. Daydreamer23
    Thank you for responding. Let's say I meet him during this winter vacation (only two weeks) in the United States. Can we marry if I came on a B2 general tourist visa? Following that, we will apply for my permanent residency visa. You mentioned that the process could take up to two years. After that, I'd have to return to Japan to finish my studies. It will be ideal because I will be fresh out of college when my visa is finally approved.

    Hello, I'm a 22-year-old gay Mongolian international student living in Japan. I'm having LDR with a 37-year-old American guy. I'll be graduating from university in 1.5 years. So I'll be liberated. We hadn't seen each other in over 2 years. As a result, I'm concerned that form I-129F will fail because we haven't met in a long time because of Covid. We're more than just friends. We discussed marriage and other topics. What should we do if we decide to get married? Traveling is difficult for me because I have a Mongolian passport. Developed countries don't issue visas to a citizen of 3rd world countries easily. I'd like to hear from anyone who has had an international same-sex marriage. How did the procedure go? How much time did it take? Do we have the same rights/benefits as conventional hetero couples? Thank you very much.
