Kathleen, sorry if I cut you short just now, but I was on the verge or tears and didn't want to cry down the phone to you.
I'm so upset that we will not be meeting you as I had already set my heart on you being the right person for us.
The rules just aren't fair. Please understand that we can not break the law, nor risk you being arrested for working illegally and being deported. This would be on your record and your passport for life if this happened.
You seem truly like a wonderful person and I really hope you don't give up on your dreams. If you do make it to Europe or even over to the UK for a holiday, please contact us and we would be so happy to put you up and look after you.
I'm so sincerely sorry that you have come this far only to be let down, but I didn't realise the foreign office had stopped Americans working here.
I wish you luck, happiness and success and please express my apologies to your mum too.
With Love.
Karen.
