Nothing changed my dad visa doesn’t renewed

because we don’t the money and we can’t effort the “fines” against us
and even i know we doesn’t need the previous sponsor to renew our visa’s

and so far we got the new sponsor and demand latter even my father has valid passport
all is agreed!

but it is still useless for us

because of no money no job we cannot took any step.

I’ll be the most unluckiest boy in bahrain who is not studying in school from 10 years
after being 17 year old.

because of no CPR. May ALLAH help us.
