The government is making it impossible for my partner and I to be together. We were in a long distance relationship for 3 years, and now we've been together in Australia for 6 months. He has to go back to America on november 2nd, and we planned that I'd go back with him to meet his family/friends and do the usual things you do when you're visiting a new area. I had an appointment to apply for a visa and I was denied and am not allowed into the US. The guy who interviewed me said that they have to assume that everybody is an intending immigrant (which they don't want) and that I didn't provide enough information that I'm NOT an intending immigrant and that I'm returning to Australia. The whole thing has been extremely scary and really hard emotionally for me. The amount of security in the US embassy and the things they made me do upset me enough, without getting my visa denied on top of it. Oh, and they keep the $130 visa fee which makes it worse. So, now I'm trying to get an emergency appointment, because the next visa appointment they'd give me to apply again is the day after my partner leaves. They're not responding to my emails. I'm very scared of flying and I fee like it equals likely death, so I really want to fly with my partner, it's such a long flight from melbourne to indianapolis. We don't know what to do... we're just stuck. We just want to be together like other couples can. People who live in the same area or even country have no clue how lucky they are that they have that freedom and that the government doesnt dictate whether they can be together or not. I don't want to live in the US and they're treating me like I desperately want to get in and take over the place. I just want to be with my partner as much as I can before he can afford to apply for a more permanent visa to live in Australia. This is so stressful, please pray for us. I also have a panic disorder, depression, obsessive/compulsive problem, thyroid problem, and eczema covering most of my body parts... that sounds trivial but, anyway, please pray for the entire situation... I'm so stressed and each day that I live just feels like I'm pushing everything down and trying to keep going but it's just so hard because I'm an extremely depressed person. I feel like life is worthless in a way because of certain reasons which I won't go into, and I try to keep going and ignore that and it's becoming so hard. I just want this visa stuff to be sorted out because I don't have room in my life or mind or emotions to be having this problem on top of everything else.

Thank you

Father, let this young woman feel Your loving arms around her as she awaits her appoinment. Lord, with You all things are possible, let this situation that is seemingly impossible work out for Your child. Lord, let the anxiety, the depression, the fear, the worries all shrink away. Let her and her partner be able to enjoy this visitation together and not seperate. Father, let the people that are in charge see the situation with a softened heart. In the glorious name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen

they denied me again... I can't go to the usa for any purpose or any amount of time. They said I'm too much of a "risk" to the US and that they think I'm trying to migrate there because I couldn't provide enough proof that I'm returning to Australia, which is silly because I don't have any interest in living in the US. Types of proof are owning a home and having a job to come back to. I'm 19 so I don't have those things... but they're the us government so they're allowed to discriminate against me and treat me guilty until proven innocent, I don't have any rights
