Bridged 4 months of long distance that we were not prepared for
My visa requirements changed and I was instructed to leave the country and come back on a new category of visa. So I went, thinking it would take me around 4 or six weeks to return. Then the nightmare started, over 12 weeks 2 rejected visa attempts and my last chance: a paper visa from the consulate, 1 month waiting list for the appointment only.
Not knowing if I could return at all, I became deeply depressed at home and he felt also unhappy about the uncertainty and distance. But in my greatest despair and anxiety, somehow my third visa attempt turned out positive and now I’m back with him! I feel like my life was saved from going down the drain completely and we are now attached even stronger than before. Celebrated our first anniversary, it’s such a blessing to be together day by day.
