Javi was in the US with a student‘s visa, it had nothing to do with Adam. His studies ended a year ago in October. Since he got a degree in International Business, he had the chance to extend that visa for one year. That’s possible, so tha5 the students can gain some work experience in the US. But after that year, they have to leave. Adam was never Javi’s employer, that was a Queen company. Still, they wouldn’t have been able to give Javi a visa. Not even the company that Javi had worked for for a couple of months in spring could have done that. If you care to read the US visa regulations, you will find, that only very few EXPERTS in their fields get work visas. You need special qualifications. That process is long, expensive and has to be done by a company, that needs to prove, that they cannot find an American, who could do that job. Javi doesn‘t fall into that group at all. No emigration lawyer can change that. i thought that he had work visa not student. So maybe I should ask different question - why American citizen couldn’t be with his love in his own country? I still think that if Adam really wanted to be with him he could work things out. He could move to Spain The law doesn’t care about love. That’s how it currently is. Take a look of how other immigrants are treated in the US. How little children got separated from their mothers. Do you really think, they care about two people in love? And gay men as such? The second part of your question: Adam could move to Spain, I think (not sure, especially Mallorca has very strict and new regulations, when it comes to foreigners buying houses. There are already too many living there, so they try to reign it in.) But Adam would barely be there for the the next year or so, because he’s busy with promo and QAL. His work keeps him in LA, the English speaking music business can’t be found in Spain. If they wanted to, they could have kept a long-distance relationship.But they decided against it. That’s it.

Well yes, ok also very good points from the "other side" about the visa. My dad got a work vica twice for two and three years when i was Young and we as a whole family moved to Detroit.Adam has ties in la and his carreer kind of needs him in la 😕 Not gonna lie, i was sceptical at first but it really felt like they had a genuine connection. I guess your Dad got the work visa through his German company, that sent him to one of their branches the US? That’s how it usually works.

This is a little clearer capture of Javi's IGs.

Just watched Javi's IG twice. They obviously planned this out a little bit. He said mostly the same things Adam did and talked about how much he loves Adam. My hat's off to both of them for handling this with such class. Really neither one of them had to tell us any of this.
I feel for both of them. 🤩

I'm not sure why people think it's just that easy to move and live in another country. It's not. My daughter and son-in-law just came back from living in Japan for almost 7 years...very hard to get into Japan... They just moved to Scotland for a year, because he's going to university there to get a Master's in writing. Lots and lots and lots of hoops to jump through to get a visa...tons of paperwork and tons of $$$. The US is ACTIVELY working to make it harder and harder to move here...this current administration really doesn't care that 2 people are in love, especially not if they're gay. HeWhoCannot amed is constantly railing again chain migration, even though his in-laws came here just in that way. I don't think Adam and Javi's relationship are of great priority in his eyes. I feel bad for Adam, but I have faith in him...he's constantly learning and constantly growing. He'll be fine. I just really hope that love will find him one day and stay...he so deserves it.

His work keeps him in LA, the English speaking music business can’t be found in Spain. If they wanted to, they could have kept a long-distance relationship.But they decided against it. That’s it. Very true. It is not that simple. I don't know much about how US visa works but I had a friend (and co-worker) years ago from the Philippines. She and her husband came to the US on student visas. He was a trained lawyer and she was an accountant. They did not want to go back so they tried to stay here illegally and make a life for themselves without being noticed. He could not practice law. I would go to their home at least once a week for dinner and they really wanted to stay in this country. Their child was born here. One day she told me that immigration was closing in and they may have to leave without notice and without contacting me. They were putting plans together to move and hide out in California if they got too close. One day she did not show up for work and did not answer the phone. I went to her home and I could see thru the window that they had cleared out. I sat on the porch and cried. To this day, I don't know if their plan worked or if they were found later. And that was before things got even harder and crazier in this country.

I think Adam and Javi had a lovely romantic relationship. They seem to truly care for each other deeply and will likely keep in touch now and then. Adam seems to have a positive effect are everyone he knows. This is the mark of a truly nice, generous person. Javi needed to move on with his life. He is serious and focused on that, just like Adam is with his own career. I feel no animosity toward him at all. We all want Adam to eventually find the true love of his life. It may not happen for a while. BTW, John Oliver did a magnificent segment on immigration laws a while back that was as perfectly explained as any I have ever heard. John has had to deal with our immigration laws numerous times over the years. They arefar more complex and strict than most of us realize. Check it out if you can. I hope thing will move on quickly and we'll focus on Adam's new music and new solo shows. SUPPORT!

I can't believe I actually got a little teary eyed over the whole situation. I'm not sure why, but I really thought the two of them were in it for the long haul. Javi seemed to make Adam so incredibly happy, and Javi, as young as he still is, seemed completely invested in this relationship, even if it meant separating for various amounts of time due to both of their unusual and difficult living and working situations. I wish them both all the love and happiness life can bring them, together or/and apart.

I think Adam does a pretty good job of keeping his personal life appropriately personal/public. It’s a tough balancing act, I think, cuz lots of fans enjoy the feeling of connection and relationship to an artist, Adam does sing a lot of love songs and then has to talk about them, and when he is happy and in love and wants to share and celebrate that - well, I think that’s beautiful and joyful. He and Javi are handling this stage in such a classy way, but - dang - their words and faces really are a little heart-wrenching, to me.
