Thank you guys. Though I can't say that I love the idea of waiting, I do think you're right and that's why I'm feeling uncertain about all this.
So now a really important question- what the heck do I do now? Since I already sent in the application, can I contact them to stop the process then restart it in a few months when things are better documented and more clear? Do I just let them deny me for the first time and not worry about it while using the next few months to figure things out then appeal the decision and have more info this time around? Can you reapply later after applying once?
