I can explain that, por favor, don't be angry.
LeventisTopic
I'm not angry
nervously fidgets with her hands You see, when I first moved here from Mexico, I was on a visitor's visa.
LeventisTopic
Right
But then, things got complicated. My husband left me and I had to find a way to support myself and my daughter.
LeventisTopic
Yeah
So, I did what I had to do. I found work as a maid, thinking it would be temporary until I could sort out my papers.
LeventisTopic
Yep
But the paperwork took longer than expected, and my visa expired while I was waiting.
LeventisTopic
Okay
Now, I'm caught in this nightmare. I don't have the money to renew my visa, and without it, I'm afraid I'll be deported.
LeventisTopic
Do you have any other relatives that could sponsor you?

LeventisTopic
