Throwaway, for reasons.

So approximately 4 years ago, I went to a foreign country. Met a guy, Alex, fell in love, and we got married. About half a year after we got married, Alex gets called for military service. Originally, he didn't have to go, because he had documents that allowed him to put off service and his health was not good enough for the military.

Since Alex ended up having to go (through a series of unfortunate events), we started getting to work on a marriage visa--I had a work visa with my company, so didn't think there would be a problem. Come to find out, my boss didn't do the visa paperwork properly and I am basically of illegal status. My options are to pay the fine (approx $6-7k), have it on my record, and leave; have a baby to raise as a single parent; or simply leave.

Before people tell me to get legal advice, the above options are what I was told by a lawyer. 

So now that we resigned ourselves to the fact that for the remainder of his service (1 year) we'll have to do long distance, does anybody have any tips? He can't call me (maybe once every few months), and obviously I can't visit him, so what's left?

We went through a lot to be together, so this is really taking its toll on me.. (Though this could be my cold talking.) Any suggestions would be great.
<bot>: Husband has to go to military in his home country, and I can't stay there because my boss didn't do my paperwork properly. Any tips on how to get through this?
