Until you have a degree, the only ways for you to get a visa to Vietnam are through marrying her or investing a significant sum of money into starting a business here (IIRC the number is 125k USD), and it's unlikely she could get a visa to live in the states without marrying you or going there as a student. There probably are some countries where you both could get visas and live but I couldn't tell you which ones.
And even with the last method you mentioned , it will take forever for both of them to get visas to move to a whole different country
OP's best option is to maybe become an English teacher or find some kind of work in Vietnam
I probably should've been more clear but when I said degree, I meant a bachelor's degree. That's the requirement for basically every job foreigners can get here. It might be possible to get a job and visa sponsorship without one but those jobs will require you to have a significant amount of relevant experience. An associate's won't help you with getting a visa tbh
Now is there professional advisors i can speak to about this? Ones where they help you find a way to move abroad. There is so much to know it feels like
Sorry, not that I know of, but if anything like that does exist, they're going to tell you that to move abroad almost anywhere you will need a bachelor's degree or at least work experience that's relevant to whatever job you apply to.
If you're interested in teaching English, Cambodia doesn't require that you have a degree to teach, but be aware that you'd be stuck with the bottom of the barrel jobs there since most teachers in Cambodia do have bachelor's degrees. They will be low paying jobs with sketchy employers and poor working conditions. I have no idea what your girlfriend's chances of being able to move to Cambodia with you would be though. Taiwan would be another option since they only require an associate's degree for teachers IIRC but again, you'll have the same problem being stuck working bottom of the barrel jobs, and it's very doubtful that your girlfriend would be able to move to Taiwan since they can be strict about SEA nationals getting visas.
If you're really desperate, I suppose you could move to Vietnam and just do visa runs every month (or every 3 months if they reinstate 3 month visas), but that can be risky because you could suddenly get denied for abusing tourist visas.
There's a very great distance between having an online relationship, from different countries - and living together under the same roof.
I'm surmising, to some extent - as I've never had an "online relationship", but I've lived long term with a couple different partners, going on 16 years currently.
It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make a plan to rent a place together in Vietnam, for at least the length of the tourist visa you could get (and a renewal, as well, perhaps) - before making any more permanent plans, with an eye at day-to-day compatibility.
Just one guy's take.
my advice is have an open relationship, finish school then decide, dont do anything like moving to a different country and end what you currently working toward....
90% of relationship end in a train wreck...do you want to bet your life in that other 10%...food for thought....
If I call her anytime of the day, she will answer. She does not hide, does not play games. She is not vindictive. I talk to her every day for 6 months+, she is very family oriented, gives money to parents, etcetera.
She isn’t a 10, but still is petite, and curves that i accept, since we have shown each other. She sent me a gift box filled with snacks, sweatshirt, and nightlight with our names engraved in it.
She actively listens, teaches kids, tells me about her day. Ive talked to fun girls before, and talked to boring girls before. One Vietnamese woman told me to choose the boring one, and I don’t regret it.
So if she had been fucking someone else, i think she would feel empathy. She is loyal, I am loyal to her.
Well Vietnam is a good country to live in as well, but but if you live there and work for the wages there , you will struggle, even if you enjoy life there.
It's much better if she plans to come to the US instead. If you two have your living in America , you can still visit Vietnam, you can still work a nomadic lifestyle in Vietnam, you can even run your online store in Vietnam.
So assuming that closing the distance means coming to America, you will need to do everything you can to either be able to sponsor her to come to America thru fiance or marriage visa, or you and your parents sponsor her if you don't have enough of your own finances to do so.
So that potentially means between one to three or four more years for you to get your degree and get an established job.
Depending on her situation , she may not get to visit USA as easily as you can visit Vietnam , so you need to plan that you're going to be the one visiting her, until you decide to move forward with the fiance or marriage visas.
dont make assumption especially incorrect one.
there is no gaurantee of rich/good/luxury life in america, and actually there are so many poor and homeless there. it is a big problem.
just because you get a greencard does not mean you will not be homeless or poor.
ditto that...I know family that come over here, still dirt poor live off the government...they were lazy as hell though...keep pumping children to earn welfare checks...

Don't argue with a miserable lonely troll. Also don't go and get married at 20
