[ Bi-National Relationship Thread ]

RTs are appreciated

Everyone dreams to be in a multiracial/binational relationship but not everyone understands how complicated, fragile and tedious the process of it all.

Here is how we went through it.

Early 2019, we decided to get married as we were tired of being miles apart from each other. 6370 miles to be exact.

When my day starts, Hayden’s day ended. When sunset approached, we only had a couple of hours to talk and spend time with each other.

It was emotionally draining

We had to keep our faith and love as strong as possible, we endured 2 and 1/2 years of long distance. It was so hard for us yet we managed to get through it together.

We came back stronger and we were unstoppable when we are together.

We got married at the end of 2019 but throughout our journey to get married was so complicated and costs us a lot of money.

We were lacking a lot of information of how to get married, we did not have enough help from anyone.

Visa + Documents + Flight tickets + Wedding =

We had a lot of misleading information that we researched online, we had to delay our wedding twice that ends up us getting married on a random date.

IT WAS HARD AND FRUSTRATING..

..but we were thankful to have each other. We are grateful that we are strong together.

Ffw today, with the pandemic.. it has been delaying a lot of our documentation process. We are not able to go home together and is required to be separated again..

We appealed and tried our best to request from immigration yet we have not received any news from them at all.

Now, we are left with a decision of being separated again.. eventhough we are legally married..

We are not allowed to be together nor proceed with our documentation back in Malaysia due to the strict lockdown requirements.

My ( Nina’s ) anxiety has been fluctuating due to this issue and there is nothing that we can do about it.

We have been married for 9 months now and it was our first time being together for a long period of time ever since our LDR.

It’s upsetting. It’s frustrating.

The anxiety of uncertainty of when we’ll be together again creeps inside of us and intoxicating our emotions.

We’ve tried our best, we fought for our rights to be together as a married couple yet our plea is not being heard.

Thousands of Malaysians who are in Bi-National relationship and families is suffering due to this pandemic yet we are not being heard.

Why?

We are still considered minorities and our voices are not even being noticed or heard.

So we’re using my platform, eventhough it’s a small platform, to plea and beg for everyone here to share our story.

We are trying our best to promote positivity but today, we’d like to share about what we have been going through.

We’re not just all happy, it’s about our reality

This petition is made by a group of people from a support group for foreign spouses and family. It is not written by us but we are supporting this

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION ABOVE IF YOU WANT TO SHOW SUPPORT OF NOT ONLY US BUT THOUSANDS OF OTHER FAMILIES THAT ARE BEING KEPT APART

We want nothing but to be united with our family and spouses. Being apart is emotionally and mentally draining.

.. so please take one moment and help us by RTs and sharing our story so we could be heard.

With that, I end our thread. Thank you for your time
