Yes, I am disappointed, frustrated, angry, irate and mad at the same time. I am strong guy so I can't really cry. Today at 6:45 am, I checked my cell phone and logged into gmail. This one message from University of Houston flashed and crashed my life. I was shell shocked. The message said that I cannot get the I-20 for my summer intake just because my file was showing my status as J-1.
Two points here :
1. I went to Houston for an internship in 2010. The best 23 days of my life.
2. Due to this, my status became J-1 and immigration people forgot to update my file in 2012. I applied to the same University in 2012 and result : They are confused.
Hell, when you don't update the file, you will be confused. This sheer lack of stupidity meant that they are not sure whether I should be given I20. I fulfill their section 212(E) requirement. I make every preparation for loan documents to be sanctioned in I20. Now what happens ? They send me a mail that I can't be part of the petroleum engineering program because of a man's mistake who is sitting a thousand miles away.
My soul knows that the only thing I ever wanted from my life was to go to UH. I had sketched so many dreams. Damn it, I worked damn hard for giving my GRE. Who works for nine hours ? Then spends two hours in the gym ? Then studies 3 hours straight ? I did that. For one dream.
I don't want to go to any ivy-league university. I want only UH. Now, I want to know if I anybody is in my position... does he start to believe in horoscopes ... in grahas .. in hindu stuff. I don't know I think my spirit is broken. I wish I could take this situation and just move on. I can't man. I can't .
