Hello, I'm new to the forums and I commemorate my joining with a bittersweet update on my alternate status. I decided to reach out to the internet with the hopes of finding any solace in my unfortunate limbo. I feel so many conflicting emotions. I've invested much time dedicating myself to qualify for this program. The news was devastating and humbling. On the other hand, I've done some searching on the webs and I find hope in the numerous success stories I've read. So, here's hoping that I'll also be able to make it. Cheers, from Reno, NV.
