Well you know, the son coming could help with the hardship claim. If this was a more friendly administration, it would be worth the risk.

Have family petition that is now officially current but with past skeletons, is risky to move forward with AOS. Life is on hold for now until laws and/or government becomes more friendly. Life kind of sucks at the moment but like Al Bundy and the mighty cockroach, I survive.
