As of now, I think processing the waiver takes close to a year? So I won't be seeing her for that long, and that's if it gets approved. Obviously I cannot leave to go see her.

I am horrified and heartbroken. I got so dizzy hearing the news that I almost fainted.

I'm in a panic, someone is coming to try to calm me.
