HEEEELLLPPPPP!!!

Alright everyone!

I NEED YOU HELP...

Lets say you and your spouse are from 2 different country.

Then your spouses country denied you of a visa.

Which means it will take between 1-3 months till you can go to that country again.

WOULD YOU...

risk going into the country on a tourist visa (with the possibility of being sent back to your country), not be able to work but be together

OR...

stay in your country while applying for a visa that is a sure thing you will get (green card status), be able to work but be apart for 1-3 months

I just wanted to see other peoples opinions so I can think this through properly and weigh in all the different options. Any feedback is appreciated.

BTW, this is a true story...

  1. id stay sis and get it sorted properly. coz when i had this sort of problem i was told that if i went into the states on a visitors visa, in order to get another one, or to change your status, you have to leave the country, so essentially you're going to be making two trips. it sucks being apart, we've had to do it a couple of times because of visa issues, but the upside is that at least you know what you're doing is a sure thing.

  2. when you put it that way....i'd say the second option for sure. I'd miss you like crazy, but then at least we know for sure you're coming back..legally. and the whole working and making income part his helpful.

  3. you have to do the right thing...which means following the laws and rules...even though they suck sometimes...better to wait and get it right than try and risk it and get a bigger punishment...

  4. you can be apart for 1-3 months. before we were married me and baxter were apart for 2.5 years! it's totally possible.

  5. I agree with all of them. Better to sort things out now and sacrifice three months than having to go back again and still do exactly the second option in order to be with your family.

  6. yikes! i was gonna say the second one still, but hearing it from other people's mouths.... i still feel for you. i know of people who've done it and gotten through it. siope's leaving next week for 4 months and we're still gonna be in the same country but can't be with each other. sometimes you just gotta do it, no matter how much it hurts. it WILL hurt. i'm so sorry. but it must be done.

    on the flipside, when it's over -- it's over. :-D good luck, aissa.
