First and foremost, I just wanna thank God for this miracle. I have been praying for this for a long time and was on the verge of homelessness because I couldn’t afford NYC rent and was living in my dad’s basement. I asked and he answered and I’ll forever be grateful. And God bless all the people who worked on my file.
I always said if I ever get accepted, I would show my timeline so there it is.
