You convinced me to go on Bridges/Anything else but there is a catch...

Hello. People have been suggesting I go for two years now. Which I super appreciate 💙 Kyla did too and I spoke to Steven about it as well. But... I want people to understand what a major pain in the ass it is: 1) Ukraine was in the top 10 countries as far as denied visas from the US go. Before full scale war. 2) Considering I am an unmarried woman under 40 with no children from Eastern Europe, I might as well be a Mexican cartel drug dealer as far as the US is concerned. In fact, Mexican drug cartel duder might have a better chance. I explained this to Kyla already. It's the Natasha effect. As in, it is assumed that women from Eastern Europe are going to the US to: A) Get an American man to marry them so they can stay. B) Be a prostitute there. C) Maybe both lol 3) I can't fly from here obviously and I can't even get a visa here apparently. I would need to apply in Kyiv but get the visa (if it is approved) in Poland or some place in Europe and fly from there. Bu that's the least of our problems. Doable. Although, the longest flight I was one was 2 hours and I hated it 🥲 And I would need to have multiple interviews to convince them that being an illegal hooker in the US is not my dream life. 4) The only chance we have is to get me a work visa. Which Kyla suggested (what a lovely person 😭🙌). But even then the Natasha problem remains and as far as "strong ties to Ukraine to make sure I will return" goes, it's also not good. Since I don't have property or business. And I am not employed in some big factory. My work as a translator and fixer is basically freelance. 5) My cousin was denied recently but she didn't have the contract/work visa thing. I will chat with her today to ask her more questions.

Bottom line: I am very honored, trully, that you want to see me on the pod. You all have been an amazing presence in my life. I am not giving up yet and I will try to make this happen. I also want to meet Steven in person and Kyla as well. I even got them gifts in advance 🥲 Which I will mail them, if this doesn't work out. But I just want to let you all know just how big of a pain it is and that pulling this off will be difficult. P. S. It's kinda funny in a way just how much I will need to convince the US I don't want to be a hoe in the land of the free, especially since I wouldn't stay in the US even if someone paid me a million dollars (I am serious, lmao).
