Foreigner with problems
Jul 19, 2007
I was diagnosed last year with HIV. My bf was unaware of his status. I'm a foreigner working in the US on an H1-B visa. My home country is South Africa. I have the issue now of not being able to get a green card unless I marry a woman plus my family is at home. I don't know if I can tell my mom over the phone. I feel like I'm distancing her. I can't go back home due to the meds at home being behind everything in the US. So I really don't know what to do. I love my life and friends here and have worked so hard. What to do? I just feel a little helpless and alone...
