<p>The issue with the gap year is two things:</p>
<p>Because of circumstances at home, i would need to work and get my own place etc. And i feel that these responsibilities make it difficult to even go to college because i feel like i can just drop a lease on an apartment etc.
The other things is how the immigration process works. The last thing you do is get your fingerprints done and then its an estimated wait time of 6 months to a year. I did fingerprints 3 years ago. That is how backed up the process is. So i do not know if a gap year is a viable option.</p>
