The full realisation of my visa predicament hit me like a punch to the face. The thought of not being with Kelli for a year was devastating. I have to navigate through a electronic process that will give me little opportunity to tell my story.
The fact is I overstayed by a day on my ESTA is the reason why I’m in this situation, but I have not found any information on the ESTA web site to show how this is calculated. There was no verbal information given by the boarder officer at my point of entry to raise any alarm, and give me an opportunity to change my return flight.
So really I was living blind to future events, and I could not do anything about it.
I was going to suspend my blog until the crap was over, but Kelli convinced me to continue with it.
This is a difficult time, and writing this blog is good therapy, and helps keep my grey sponge working, and boy do I need that.
