3 p.m - I was supposedly taking my after-noon nap with my 3 year old son. Hearing me sob silently, he looked at me with a question mark. Unable to face him, I turned around & couldn't stop the tears wetting my pillow. Worries & fears keep flooding in, each competing with another.
Fear of, the transition period that my family will have to undergo leaving U.S. to India;
Fear of, leaving my dreams behind in U.S. - a good education for my kids & me, a beautiful, small house to call our HOME;
Fear of, starting a life in India - MY OWN COUNTRY.
Why does it have to be that difficult?????????? Why can't I stop crying????
It was because, around mid-day, Vaithi (my husband) called from work. It was 'THE CALL' I had long waited to hear. The moment I heard his 'HELLO' I knew it was the one. And the news is "OUR GREEN CARD APPEAL HAS BEEN REJECTED IN EB1 CATEGORY".
Yes, our appeal - meaning that our Green Card application was already rejected once & now the appeal asking the U.S. Government to reconsider has also been rejected again.
I replied coolly over the phone "That is Ok, at-least we know it is over."
