Yes, it really is difficult when everything is so uncertain. I feel for you.
I mean, first my mom kicked me out of my brother's house 2 days before Thanksgiving last year, while I was in the UK visiting my husband and in laws, I came back in March and have been sleeping on this girl's couch in the livingroom since. I was meant to apply the first week in April, but that doesn't look like it would have mattered.My son and I have no privacy and can't even sleep in the SPARE bedroom. Through the last few weeks, I've found out she's not actually a friend. And yes, I have been paying rent, food, internet, and other misc bills. She's hardly ever home because she works constantly. I clean the house up (including her mess and her families messes). I care for her cat and dog and even watch her daughter when she decides she's going to go somewhere and not ask me if it's ok if I watch her. That on top of this Visa process is driving me insane. I might have less stress at a mental hospital lol. I seriously need them to hurry up with my application.
