I'm new to these forums. 
My good friend gave me the link to this forum after seeing me pretty depressed over the current sitution with my SO.
Story time! -
My boyfriend and I met in October 08. I was just coming out of a really bad LDR with an abusive boyfriend - we fought daily for 6 months. It was love at first talk.
He lived in Spain (now Uruguay) and I live in Texas. He was living here up until 4-5 years ago when his visa program was abruptly cut because of 9/11 changes.
Earlier this year we closed the distance with a month-long visit when I flew to Uruguay. For the first week it was really hard for me to adjust and I had trust issues (correction, HAVE trust issues) but we pulled through. On the plane ride home, I felt like I had been gutted. I cried going through customs, on the 10 hour flight home, during the 3 hour layover in Miami and when I got home. I felt so displaced, like I didn't belong anywhere anymore.
That was late August. I immediately started school again, depressed and sick. A month later, a good friend of mine cut me off after 21 years of friendship and the next day my dog passed away.
Consequently, I've been awfully depressed lately, which is how I came to these forums.
My boyfriend has a visitor's visa application in, which was pre-approved (he has an interview in February) but I feel awfully pessimistic, and up until lately, I've felt alone regarding this. It's been curious if anyone else is experiencing or has experienced these visa issues we're going through.
I can eventually handle the loss of my friend and my pup, but I've felt completely dismal in regards to my relationship. I'm reminded of our time together in everything I see - airports, buses, my luggage, my necklace from him, my favourite TV show that we watched together... And it all reminds me of that painful trip home.
I have an entry level position at a job I've been dreaming of since I was 16 and I'm going to school full-time for my degree, so taking off large amounts of time really isn't an option for me right now. Even worse, this isn't my first LDR. I've had 3, mostly with US Military.
Me and my SO have been together over two years now, and only until the past three months has the 5195 miles between us felt further than ever.
Has anyone else experienced visa complications like this? There really is no way we can find except marriage (which I am DEFINITELY not ready for) and Investor's (doubting work visa is a possibility with the US economy bottomed out so badly).
Thank you for reading. I apologize for it being lengthy and sad.
