Wait a minute, did you say you just found out about this after 19 years OMG , this is terrifying i really wish i could knew more about this and give you an advice,
But just try to really make something im not sure if you speak spanish but my mom used to tell me " mueve cielo y tierra si asi tiene que ser" literally of course, this is a great opportunity that u might not want to miss, even if the opportunity comes only with 6 month left make those 6 months worth, for some reason you got to find out before it was too late think about that . Wishing u best of luck !!!
