I am also leaving my boyfriend behind, as much as it saddens me, he understands and knows this is a great opportunity for me I know a couple who were working for differnet airlines and were apart 3 years, a girl I spoke to at work tonight lived in Saudi Arabia for 2 years while her husband and baby lived in South Africa, I hope it works out for you.
Also does anyone know what this Image & Uniform Standards Form is? I never got one. My DOJ is the 29th of November but I am worried they will send me away earlier to be in Dubai on the 29th
