I am sitting here and I am soooo overwhelmed. I mean, that "soooo" barely even begins to cover it. I am sitting here in tears, whispering "i can't do this"

I know applying for immigration is tough for everyone. But I need to talk about my particular difficulties. Because it just seems like too much to handle right now.
We will be applying for the K-1 Visa. And there are just so many obstacles that I don't know how to overcome.

1. birth certificate. there is no original. he isn't living in the same country that he was born in. he has a few pieces of id and they all have 3 different birth dates. dates just aren't very important in africa. they also have 2 different spellings of his first name. i don't even know how we will do that.

2. court records. he was arrested as a juvenile in the states and i will somehow need to get record of that but that just seems so overwhelming since he was arrested a few times in 2 different states.

3. his daughter. i will have to prove that i can financially support both of them, plus do all the paperwork for her, plus get her mom (who hates me) to sign something saying she gives permission for the child to leave.

4. him. he grew up in the states. illegally. from age 5-15. i am pretty sure we can prove that he left at 15 on his own will but the fact that he was there illegally makes things so complicated.

I am so overwhelmed. Sometimes I just don't think I can do this anymore. Sometimes I just want to crawl into my bed and hide away forever.
