Hello! So, next month (may 23rd) I'm flying to visit my SO. I visited for the first time last year, and stayed for a month and a half. This time it's going to be a lot longer, I will stay for 5 months.
Of course this trip is really exciting, we're finally going to actually be in a "normal" relationship, 5 months feels like pratically moving in! and we're also going to do our research and figure out our next move so we can close the distance soon after this visit.
Here are the reasons why I'm nervous: I live in Venezuela, you might have heard in the news the stuff going on here (really violent protests) my country has been already flaged for a long time when it comes to customs cause everyone's trying to get out, but with the most recent events I'm really scared that customs are going to find it suspicious and are going to think 5 months is too much and fear that I'll stay ilegally which I wouldn't do (could they deny my entrance?).
I'm not an experienced traveler, my first and only flight was the first time we saw each other, and this time I have some very short layovers (2 stops in the states for 1,5 hours each) they are really tight layovers and I'm scared I'm going to miss a flight. I know in these cases the airline should put me in another flight and take care of me in case I need to stay in the airport for the night, but it still makes me really anxious.
Has someone visited their SO for such a long time? did you have troubles getting in the country? Advice/opinions will be appreciated. Thanks!
