I (37f) from the Philippines is in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend (44m), from the United States. He planned to immigrate to my country but due to the pandemic, our plans are halted. Just two months ago, he had jaw and head pains that turned out to be brain tumors, upon further medical tests, it was discovered that he has lung cancer that spreads to his brain. Now it feels like our lives and plans had been paused and we don't know how to move forward. We wish to still be together but since we have never met in person, I cannot file for a fiance visa, I am going to try my luck and will file for a tourist visa instead but it will take a year for me to even get an interview, we do not know how much time we're looking at when it comes to his conditions. I am working for an american firm that has offices in the Philippines, I own a property under name, i have paper assets that are not so liquid, I don't save money in banks. I am saying this because I need to prove my rootedness to my country and that I will not overstay. I am not sure if I will even be considered for a tourist visa. I never thought of filing for a us visa because it wasn't our plan at all. I never want to cheat the system and I want to go about it in a legal way. I hope someone can help, I just want to be with my boyfriend in his trying times. We planned to marry but now everything is unclear. Thank you for any advice.
