I’m 18.  I need safety.  I need help.

Sorry, you don’t have all of your forms

I’m 19.  I have all of my forms.

Sorry, you don’t have enough money.  

I’m 20.  I have money and forms.

Sorry, we need to do a background check.  

I’m 21.  I am highest priority now.  I passed my background check.  

Okay, let’s do an interview.  


Your visa is approved.  

I’m 24.  I have a wife and a son.  

Only you were approved sir.  You can either stay or leave your family behind.  


I’m 50.  My wife and son were killed in crossfire.  

I’m dying of a disease that is already cured.  

I’m still in my home country.  

Is this help?
