At that point, it'd be almost impossible to keep up a serious relationship with someone in America. There are also some very real financial benefits that would kick in the day I get married, but I'm honestly not too concerned with those.
You could always wait and see how things go for when she's done with school, though.
I don't really understand the concept of asking someone to marry you when you're not sure what the answer will be.
Also, do not do it over the phone. Like, seriously man. SERIOUSLY.
That said, I hope it works out the best way it could.
