Sad

After all my efforts at proving my Afrikaans skills, the visa people have said it's not enough. They won't accept proof that I am fluent in the language, but only will accept proof that I've completed tertiary education solely in Afrikaans - which I haven't. I've provided everything I can, and it's still not enough.

I don't have the $100,000 to invest, so my application is going to be pooled.

And that seems to be the end of our hopes for a visa. There's nothing more I can do at all. R12,000 down the drain along with all our dreams of a new start and plans to support my parents in retirement.

I'm gonna close my office door now and have a good cry.
