I have verification that its a woman and that she is who she says she is. I'm not losing faith in god either by the way. When we first started talking and developing feelings for each other I asked god what to do regarding her and he told me to wait and be patient. I have been for a year and a half now.

I suppose you must do what you want to do about it. I wish God talked to me about things, but alas, He never has. I’m left to my own devices and must muddle along. If I make a bad decision, like graduating with a psychology degree which was not very practical, it is all my own doing. If I make a good decision, like teaching art instead of science- it is all my own doing again (although God DID have to make the opportunity happen for me).
Perhaps God will tell you what to do. If God told me what to do about everything in my life, I would not ask a person’s opinion or advice.

Proverbs 3: 5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Give it to God, and ask him and he will direct your path. Sometimes this can be tricky though…because we have got to be willing to listen to what God is saying…sometimes our heart wants what our heart wants and it can cloud up our judgement. So we have to be willing to honestly listen to God and dig deep to get or understand his answer to us.
He will talk to us, if we are willing to listen. He doesn’t always talk to us in words, however, so you have to be willing to look around you and be aware of all things in the situation.
May God bless you.

Lots of prayer and seeking God's direction. If you are at peace to wait, and you feel she is sincere with your and loves God, then there is nothing wrong with waiting. I have a cousin in the Philippines who has been dating a man from Croatia for YEARS. Never met, though they plan to get married. Took him a while to save up enough money to come visit her, then she went through some family stuff and wanted him to wait more. He's a good, Godly man, and has been a good influence on her Christian life. Sometimes, you just have to wait. I, personally, think she needs to let the poor guy come see her, but that's between them.
Don't be discouraged! But like was said before me, don't let your own desire influence your feelings. It's hard to balance, but stay in your Bible.
