A Long Distance Love Affair: How to go the Distance

It’s the stuff that great romance novels are made of. Boy meets girl, girl has to leave country but they’re willing to make things work despite the distance and a 2 hour time zone difference. The story line never fails to cause interest and yet, it remains a story that some people view as fairytale material. Yet, there are many people that have strengthened their relationships despite the odds.

You too can go the distance. It’s a matter of trust, a matter of communication and a few old school romances necessitates.

So, how do you go the distance? You may be considering immigrating to the country in which your partner resides. If so, there are many factors to consider. It’s not a simple process but it is very possible.

What are your options?
Consider applying for a Fiancé Visa
If you’re willing to propose, or you’ve been proposed to, applying for this visa may be a good option. A Fiancé Visa can only be approved for a limited period before to the intent of marriage. Proof of a relationship with a citizen of the destination country is needed. Consider this example that could be of assistance: a German woman has accepted a proposal to marry an American man. She is required to obtain a Fiancé Visa (also referred as a K-1 visa). This will allow her to enter the United States.

You’ll need the following documents
A valid passport, birth certificate, divorce or death certificate of any previous spouse, police certificate from all places lived in since the age of 16, a medical examination certificate, evidence of support, evidence of a valid relationship with the petitioner and photographs according to specifications. The beneficiary will be notified by the consular officer when the approved petition is received. The beneficiary will also be provided with the necessary forms and instructions to apply for a K Visa.

Consider applying for a Spousal Visa.

A Spousal Visa is granted to the spouse of a resident or citizen of a given country in order to enable the couple to settle in that country. An example of such visas is the United Kingdom’s EEA Family Permit.

You’ll need the following documents

For the K3 Spousal Visa (United States), Two copies of Form DS-156, Non-immigrant Visa Application, one DS-156K, Non-immigrant Fiancé Visa Application form, Police certificates from all places liven in since the age of 16 and birth certificates, marriage certificates for spouse, death and divorce certificates from any previous spouses, medical examination, medical examination (except vaccinations), A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant’s intended period of stay in the United States. You’ll also require two non-immigrant visa photo’s, two inches 50 x 50 mm square showing full face against a light background, proof of financial support (Form 1-134 Affidavit of Support may be requested) and payments of fees.

Speak to a clued up consultant for in depth knowledge and assistance?

Of course, the rules are different for various countries, so it will be worth your while to chat to a consultant to find the best solution for your unique situation.

Addressing Romantic Relationships Over Long Distances

At some point in every one of our lives, we would have experienced a long-distance relationship. This could be either due to our loved ones going overseas for a long vacation before work. When we are separated from our other half's, it puts a strain on the relationship.

The question is, can long-distance relationships really stand the test of time? How can we make things work?

The first step in having success with these sort of relationships is to always have a good level of communication between the two parties. By being so far apart, we lack the physical closeness to our loved ones, therefore we need to really focus on strong communication to make up for the loss of physical closeness.

Trust is also a huge thing. Both sides will need to work on having faith in each other because neither side can be there to check up on what their partners are doing. Without trust, things would never work out because there is just way too much doubt between both sides, and that is a surefire way to a breakup. Remember that the foundation relies on the combination of both excellent communication as well as unwavering trust.

The last part of the equation is honesty. We all know that lying never gets us very far, and has larger consequences at the end, so don't do it! Always be open about everything and I will just reduce suspicion altogether. Being able to share our thoughts with each other is an important step to building trust as well, and this will take your relationship up to the next level even when you're thousands of miles apart from each other. Be open, and talk about any issues you are having as well as positive things, like your dreams and ambitions.

Yes, long distances can really be one of the most difficult things a couple has to go through. However, having said that, it is one of the best ways to know if your relationship will stand the test of time.

Dealing With Distance

So you’ve decided, (against all advice and reason) to get into a long distance relationship. Let’s put aside the question of sanity, and focus. You’ve obviously put a lot of thought into this choice, and okay, the bags are packed, the teary goodbyes said and the arduous journey’s begun. With the best of intentions, I wish you good luck.

I’m not a supporter of long distance relationships - I’m a reluctant survivor. But in the tried and tested manner of a true rehabilitating relationship junkie, I’d advise anyone who’d care to listen to steer clear. I mean real clear. I believe there’s a type that can make these work - it’s just a rare type. And unless there’s a pretty good reason to stay together, a ring on your finger for instance, it’s a tough choice to make, and one that’ll put your relationship through some serious tests. Buckle up.

Having said that, sometimes, if you both want something to work, if your base is strong, trust hasn’t made itself an issue, and it truly is for the greater good, I congratulate you, you’re sorted. For the rest of us, who struggle through the turbulence that distance causes, here’s my two pennies worth...

Establish some Ground Rules
This comes before you take the boat across the sea. Talk about what’s okay and what isn’t - nights out, get-togethers, orientations, clubs, dinners, dos, soirees, call it what you will. Establish on both sides what’s acceptable, what isn’t, and be fair. Trust may not have been an issue, but I can’t think of a more pertinent time when it will be put to a test.

Prioritize
When you live in different cities, and lives that were together separate into individual entities, suddenly, there’s a gap. There are movies to watch and no significant other to cozy up with, there’s coffee to drink, and a lonely cup on the counter, and there are moonlit nights that you certainly shouldn’t be watching alone - but you shouldn’t be star gazing with someone else either. That’s a quandary, so what do you do? Well, you could begin a serious relationship with your cell phone, and make a deep commitment to your laptop - I’m not a fan of technology, but this is a good time to make gadgets your new best friends, and use every tool the good world has offered. Make phone dates, no matter how corny they sound, and include your partner in your now separate life. Talk about developments, new friends; put each others minds at rest. And prioritize your relationship.

Make the Effort
If you’re able, make the effort to bridge the gap - literally. Meet as often as possible and make sure the time you get together is high on quality. Since this relationship is something that means a great deal, let the distance bring you closer. Regroup, reconnect and use the fact that you aren’t together 24x7 to your advantage. Plan vacations, rekindle the romance. And give it your all.

Trust Each Other
The funny thing about trust is, you don’t really think about it until it’s broken. And once broken, it can be very, very difficult to mend, so don’t take the chance. Understand that temptation in every shape and form will arise, and sometimes the loneliness and the unfairness of it all will make you question your decision - many times over. In the cold light of day, you will regret a decision made in haste, so avoid situations that place you in clear view of temptation. Keep a close friend who’s on your side, by your side.

I will say this, long distance relationships that make it through the acid test of time, are strengthened by the effort that both partners make. And the reunions make it all worth while. When you’re in it for the long haul, whether or not family and marriage are on the cards, these things happen - sometimes better opportunities make for better finances and the move has to be affected. Stay strong, and stay together; true love is really worth it.

Don't Fret Just Yet - Here's How You Can Make a Long Distance Relationship Work

People end up in long distance relationships for a variety of reasons. We have all heard of the stories, or maybe even loved through them ourselves. You know exactly how it goes. At first boy meets girl. Then boy quickly falls in love with girl. Just when the relationship is progressing, the boy gets accepted to one school in another part of the country, while the girl has to stay put for her dream job. This sounds all too familiar right? Well if you find yourself in a similar situation, don't look at your long distance relationship as a romantic death sentence. There are some steps you can definitely take to increase the chances of relationship success, even with the overwhelming distance.

As soon as you make the conscious decision to commit to a long distance relationship, you will need to give yourself something to look forward to. That's why it's important that you and your partner look at the calendar and select dates when you can meet up. Even if you can only see each other a few times per year, realize that it is better than nothing at all. Being in a long distance relationship can be incredibly tough, by having specific dates set, it will be easier to make it through the days when you are going through heavy withdrawal symptoms.

After you sit down together and pick out dates, it's vital that you have a serious conversation about your relationship. Take some time and really be honest with each other. Talk about where you want you want to be a year later. You may even want to set a five year relationship goal. After all, if you are not really in love, and you can't see yourself being with someone in the long term, then why would you sign up for a long distance relationship in the first place?

Okay, so once all of the discussion is done, you need to find a way to stay in touch once you part ways. Regardless of whether you are in school or you are a young professional, try to have daily contact with your other half. Even if you are in a position where you can't use the phone for most of the day, you can send messages via instant messenger. Programs such as the modern marvel Skype, takes the invention of the web cam to another level. Not only can you see each other, but you will be able to talk with crisp, clear voice quality.

Even after you stomp out all of the different ways to maintain contact, you have to find a balance of how often you use those resources. Sometimes you may feel like infatuation is leading you to contact professional movers and head back home. But remember the reason why you separated in the fist place and be strong. To some, this point may seem redundant, but even in a long distance relationship you have to learn to give each other space! Just because you are in another country and you miss someone doesn't mean its okay to send them 50 text messages while they are trying to work.

The final point on our list is arguably the most difficult one. In order to make a long distance relationship work you have to be smart and avoid situations that may lead to infidelity. If you know that you have a girlfriend, then don't hang out with incredibly attractive girls unless it is part of a group date. Don't go out on dates. Do not convince yourself that it's okay if all you do is kiss! Stay clear of all temptation by any means necessary.

Making the Transition From a Long Distance Relationship to Living in the Same Town

Love is an amazing thing that you can't control in any way possible. You can fall in love with the most unsuspecting individuals in some of the most unsuspecting circumstances. In most cases, people allow themselves to be led by love because it's just that strong. At American Van Lines, we understand all too well, how love can cause people to end up in long distance relationships. If you've been carrying on a long distance relationship for a while, then you know too well about how love can make you do things you never thought you would have. If you and your partner are finally ready to close the gap of your long distance relationship, then there are a few things you'll want to consider in order to protect your relationship.

For starters, it's important not to jump into living in the same house with one another immediately after living hundreds of miles apart from each other. This is especially true if all you've had is a long distance relationship with this person and you've never lived together before. Going from one extreme (long distance relationship) to another (living in close quarters) may be too much to handle so soon. Taking baby steps is the best thing you can do for the relationship.

It's normal to want to live together after having missed each other so many times and for so long, but resist the urge. Just because you and your mate was able to get along for days at a time when you were in each other's presence during visits, but actually living with someone day in and day out is a different monster all together. Moving in with each other after living so far apart will greatly test the relationship, but it's not a risk that you have to take if you want to live closer to each other.

A great alternative to moving in with each other is to get your own places in the same town. This will help you both enjoy the freedom that you're already used to while basking in the ability to see each other more frequently. Maintaining this sense of independence will strengthen your love. There is something about being aware of the possibility that your mate may leave you and grow apart from you that brings people closer together. It sounds crazy, and you and your mate may never break up, but that small room for error will make the two of you work even harder to stay closer.

A number of discoveries may transpire after you or mate move closer. You may discover that they get on your nerves and that the relationship just won't work. If this is what you discover, then you'll be happy you did so while you both still had your own places. If you discover you were right about this person all along and you can't live without them, you and your mate can take the natural progression into marriage or living together. Doing it in this manner, by living apart first will help the both of you be absolutely certain about your decisions. You won't question whether or not you're moving too fast or if your emotions are circumstantial, because you would have taken your time and given the relationship a chance to blossom.

Unlike the assurance of moving company insurance, there are no guarantees in love and taking your time, letting your love blossom is the best way to ensure the success of your relationship. If you're ready to close the gap in your long distance relationship, take baby step and you won't be sorry.

5 Advices On How To Keep Your Long Distance Relationship

There it comes a day in the life of us we need to face some things up front. The distance of a loved one is undoubtedly one of the worst scenarios you can imagine for our love lives. You get full of doubt, you do not know if this will or will not work, you need to adapt to some dramatic changes and uncertainty that will always roll.

After all, are the distance relationships worth it? Can we have hope on them? Obviously, the only person who can answer whether it is worth investing or not it is you. Because, at first, and this I can assure you, this is not one of the easiest things that we face in our lives. I say this from experience, be someone in love with a person who lives 300 miles away is tense.

Fortunately, one of the worst problems today is related to whom the distance is partially solved - communication - and you can have daily contact at almost no cost. The internet is very handy for those who are physically far but want to connect as much time as possible. MSN, Facebook, Fotolog, Twitter and other sites help a lot in these hours. Anxiety, which often hurts, may even help those hours. The goal here is to organize some tips for you to do well, let´s see a few of them:

1. Do not let jealousy intrude. Never!
Everything you and your partner need these times is less reason to fight. As it may seem strange, there is no need for you to really want to control every step of the partner, and from time to time you will have to be flexible enough to understand a trip to the pub with friends. The first thing that should be part of a long-distance relationship is trust, and let your partner go out angry at you can be a dangerous flashpoint. Avoid excessive jealousy and silly fights, rely more on your partner and your relationship will be preserved.

2. Take the distance to talk. About EVERYTHING!
As basically what's left for you is the virtual contact, make sure you discuss everything with your partner. Create some kind of joke where one asks a question about something and the other responds in earnest, after changing the answer. If the relationship is serious and neither has anything to hide, this time to talk is "required" to serve more than just talk about anything and get even more homesick. Discovering new things and occupy the mind is one of the best remedies for the distance.

3. Fear of betrayal. And now?!
Just like I said, the largest base of long-distance relationship is trust. The betrayal can happen for those who live together and for those who live far away, there's no avoiding in many cases. However, confidence is the key, and even if both are in this together, this is a fear that you can exclude from your mind. It's always harder to trust blindly, but bear with me: would someone sustain a long-distance relationship if did not like the person? I think not.

4. Learn to deal with the moment of departure
Definitely the worst moment in the life of two lovers is the hour of departure. Knowing it might take a while to see each other again is a major cardiac testing. However, it is a necessary evil, as life goes on and you need to return to regular activities. Do not make the farewell a bad act, try to face it better. As difficult as it is, the next time you two meet all that love and missed moments will make you both enjoy the most of every second together. Remember that love knows no borders. Time will take care of you two together as soon as possible, it is always important to remember that.

5. Love conquers all!
That what you have to focus on. Every relationship has its moments of adversity and it is important to remember what unites them. The love between you is greater than the distance that separates you, certainly, and against this argument there is nothing that might discredit the relationship.

The first thing that you should do is to really sit down and discuss things. You both need to be willing to commit to your relationship if you wanted to work.

Set a date for the next time that you are going to meet up with your partner. If you know exactly when you are going to meet them then it is going to make the time between your next rendezvous more bearable. It will also help to build up the excitement knowing that you will be seeing them at the weekend for several days.

Always try to have at least some form of contact each and every day of the week. Even if it just means sending a few texts back and forward, you will still be having a personal contact with them. It is certainly good idea to let your partner know that you are thinking of them even when you are not with them.

Every so often try to go that extra mile. Write a letter to send to her or send her a card instead. You may even want to consider purchasing her a gift and sending it in the post. Write some really touching and intimate words that are going to make her heart melt. This is a great way of keeping some of the romance alive even when you are not in direct contact.

If you can you should also try to actually talk to your partner every single day for a least a few minutes. As mentioned, it is always a good idea to have some form of contact each day. The best form of contact that you will have available will be talking to them directly. Find out how their day has gone and how they are feeling. These days you can also use such things as Instant Messenger or Skype. Using Skype will even allow you to see their face when you chat, making everything more bearable.

Surprise them as often as you possibly can. If you know that they are going to be having a quiet weekend in then it might be a good idea for you to pretend that you have to work and then turn up at their door anyway. There are going to see this as a very romantic gesture and will be absolutely delighted to see you.

All in all, remember that absence makes the heart grow fonder. As long as you are always in each other's thoughts then every time you see each other it is going to be just that little bit more special.

Jealousy in relationships means there is no trust at times. This is sometimes true with long distance relationships. We have some good long distance relationship advice you can try.

Do Long Distance Relationships Work? Four Factors To Consider

Have you ever been apart from a loved one and wondered, "Do long distance relationships work?" Are you struggling with the decision to continue or end a relationship because of geographic distance? What are the odds that such a relationship can really work? In this age of increased technology; e.g., online dating, Facebook, and increased job turnover, more people in relationships are living apart than ever before. There are many factors that influence the relative success of such a relationship. Here are a few to consider:

Did the relationship start out long distance?

If a couple has always lived apart, there are not as many adjustments to be made as there would be if they had been in the same household for several years and then suddenly were separated. For couples who become separated due to a job, schooling, etc., relationship rules suddenly need major changes, and this can upset the delicate balance. On the other hand, partners who have had the opportunity to live together already may have forged stronger bonds of intimacy that will help them withstand the separation. So, do long distance relationships work? So far, it's a toss-up.

How often can the couple meet face-to-face?

Being separated on weekdays is one thing, when you have long weekends together. Such an arrangement can even bring zest to a relationship where familiarity has bred, if not contempt, a little boredom. But separations for months on end can become damaging to the fabric of the relationship. Partners may tend to former closer relationships with others in their new orbit or to become so independent of each other that co-existence under one roof becomes a land mine. Do long distance relationships work? The vote is: not as likely if separations are long.

For how long will be relationship be long distance?

Applying the same logic, a short-term arrangement of long distance dating or marriage can be an interesting challenge, and even breathe new life into the relationship's routine. If the relationship lasts for years, partners may have two separate lives and experience difficulty staying in the same orbit. Do long distance relationships work? Short-term, yes. Long-term: consider the warning signs.

What are the levels of trust and independence?

Each partner's personality influences the relative success of a long distance relationship. A suspicious or dependent mate will really struggle with physical separation. On the other hand, couples who have high degrees of trust, coupled with an enjoyment of time alone and independence, may actually thrive in such a relationship. Do long distance relationships work? With compatible personalities, the answer may be yes.

As you can see, there is no clear answer to the question: do long distance relationships work? A complex set of factors influences the success or failure of any relationship. If you are facing a potential long distance relationship in your life, consider: the history of your relationship, the length and type of separation, your own personality and that of your partner. A thoughtful analysis of these factors may help you decide if you are ready to pursue or maintain a relationship with a far-away loved one.

Long Distant Relationships: 3 Tips On Dealing With The Pitfalls

The strain of a long distance relationship will eventually lead to a lack of communication, eventually cheating and then lying about the cheating. While psychologists suggest being "committed to the commitment", trying to rescue a relationship that has its commitment hanging by a thread will always fail.The commitment takes turns being redefined and will eventually morph into an echo in one's mind asking, "What will save my relationship?"

Here are three suggestions that might help.

Stay in a steady flow of communication. Streamline variety into it with as many new and creative ways you can think of. This means you have to be thinking of a new way or thing to communicate every day. You don't want to have to "win back" your boyfriend or girlfriend because then it will be too late. You have to be sure that there is a continuous flow of contact. Gifts left on the doorstep through the mail such as flowers with "I miss you" messages attached are more effective than texting or emailing which gets stale real soon.
Do Not Cheat. Do not think about cheating. Do not even look at others as possible future prospects "just in case" something might go wrong. If you do, then you will soon be wondering what to do to get your now "ex" back. Just the thought of cheating will eventually lead to the act.
Don't lie about anything. You will get caught in your lies. For some reason when people are separated by great distance, they feel like they have more license to stretch the truth, or tell little white lies. The fact that you were flirting with someone and not letting your partner know about it will be the beginning of the downfall. You would be better off telling the truth about how you are beginning to look at others and that the long distance thing is loosing its savor. Do not let the other hang in limbo while you start cultivating a backup relationship.

Mostly these are just tips about common decency. If you apply the same rules that you did when you were geographically close to each other, you might consider that as a good guideline for saving the relationship.

It might be wishful thinking to think that you might be together again. Once the wish dies out, be decent to your poor significant other and don't act like there is still a burning flame.

5 Ways to Stop Distant Love Failures

Some of you may disagree with me thinking that Love is temporary madness which erupts like madness and subsides there after, but when you are in love you think it to be the most passionate movement in your life. Sometimes when we are more concentrated on our career times come when we have to relocate to different places and these places won't have your loved ones.

If you move away you leave back the fruitful memories of your love and try harder to keep in touch with your love and slowly you form a distant love with your romantic attitudes. Most of the cases which I came across were of Distant Love failures; yes I am a heart break kid myself. Since then I have formulated a strategy which can be helpful to stop these distant love failures.

Communication: plays a vital role in keeping touch with your love, and after looking at the technological advancements you can get in touch with your love within seconds from any corner of the world (Exception zero equator and Bermuda triangle). Find a suitable mean of communication may it be Internet through social networking or via mobile. When you are free enough communicate just find suitable time frame considering the different time zones.

Space: always provide space to your partner never get possessive and doubtful that she is all alone and will do anything wrong. If you love her/him you should have faith in her. You can track her activities via any social networking if you find any exceptions discuss them freely don't be Uncle Sam.

Mutual trust: when you are away from each other you have all the freedom to do whatever you want, but don't misuse this freedom which can affect your relationship. Many Distant love failures are due to lack in mutual trust, instead utilize this time for the mistakes you have done in the past with your partner. Confess for the mistakes and guarantee they will not happen again which will make the bond stronger. You left each other due to mutual trust you shared so don't hamper it and expect the same from your partner.

Surprises: always surprise your partner with new inventive methods like send a surprise gift, ask your friend to deliver flowers, remember the dates related to your relationship and surprise her/him with some cherish-able moments. If possible write letters or cards with interesting message which make their day more promising.

Forget and forgive: this is somewhat critical errand but when you confess for your misdoing and you get a same reply from other side always have a policy to forgive and forget this will help keep relationship healthy rather than distant love failures. Never ask for explanations and never invade each others private space.

This all things will help you create a healthy relationship rather than distant love failures. Always understand "set your love free if it comes back it was meant for you and if doesn't then it was never yours"..
