Tips for maintaining a long-distance relationship in the future?

I'm 22, and my boyfriend is 24. We’re both Filipinos, and soon we'll be facing a long-distance relationship for a few months since I have to move back to Korea for at least three months. After that, I’ll return to the Philippines. My boyfriend's mom is married to a U.S. citizen and plans to bring her children, including him, to the States once their visa situation is sorted out. I've agreed to move to the U.S. with him, but I'm concerned about how this will all play out. The thought of being apart and going through the long wait for visas and other documents makes me anxious. I genuinely want to be with him, but I'm feeling scared about the future.
