Hello Guys,
It has been a long time, just two weeks ago, but when you are inside the process this feels like forever. I used to check this page at least 15 times per day, waiting for some updates, waiting for hope.
I'll write a separate post about our experience and advice with the landing, we had a familiar situation, nothing really bad, but it was the reason to delay this farewell email.
For me, of course, the opinions and advice here are really important, but what is priceless is the human factor. Total strangers with "alias" names in the same situation that at some point you feel as a friend. I was happy celebrating for someone's fast answers and sad and concern for the other's delays.
Is time for us to move forward, but I want to appreciate to the people who shared with us the last two months. It was really intense for me, at some point is like the letter will never arrive, sometimes you fell that you're the last one in the list and probably the agent changed his mind just in the moment when your application was on top.
I wish you all the best, most probably we will see each other some day without knowing that we were close cyber friends during this time, for me, you will always have a special space in my memories.
And for the new ones, I don't know nothing about you or your timelines, but I know about your anxiety, about this feeling when your friends say "relax, the email will arrive soon. Don't think about it" SURE!, relax. For me it was not possible, my permit was soon to expire, I wanted to stay here, I have a life and a home here. So keep texting keep sharing your feelings, and keep praying no matter what you believe. Pray and cross your fingers, I'm sure that your papers will come soon... I will keep my fingers crossed and keep praying for you
And for sure I will pass sometimes to see if I can help
Courage!!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
